An international art fair is a perfect place to embrace your style, a chance to choose pieces that are really you and no worries of under or over-dressing as there will be so many different people with different styles in one place. This week, Ik has chosen a few personal favorites plus a couple of Art Basel-only pieces.
Antidote, known for it’s “conscious, curated fashion” designed this over-sized tee which Ik will be wearing with Ann Taylor gray joggers, Fendi slides and a Cerise Dior wallet purse. This outfit will be topped off with The Biltmore Quito hat from Tenth Street, which is a hand-woven Ecuadorian Panama hat, made in the USA, with a 2 3/8” dimensional brim and leather sweatband. Before the week kick’s off, Ik visited Sundays nail bar to get a fresh mani and chose a design using black, red, white and blue colors. “I love the evil eye artwork and decided the linear nail art would work well with Art Basel’s creativity,” she says.
A week’s worth of outfits is a lot to pack but our girl is well-practiced at packing strategically… with a little help from her Thirty-One Gifts duffel bag that literally holds all (and appears to be some kind of Mary Poppins bag). Thirty-One Gifts is one of the world’s largest direct-selling companies, boasting an independent sales force of 63,000 sales consultants throughout the U.S. and Canada. Thirty-One Gifts, however, is about much more than its products. It is a family of individuals who share a passion for empowering women, and who are committed to celebrating, encouraging and rewarding others for who they are. The name Thirty-One Gifts comes from Proverbs 31, of the Bible, which describes the attributes and the importance of a “virtuous woman.” With a mission to help women by giving them the opportunity to own their own businesses, Thirty-One provides many of the tools to help them earn supplemental income and support their personal “whys.”
This bag will hold all Ik’s looks for the week and it is the perfect size to take on board a flight so you don’t have to check luggage either. The hold-all also features several pockets so it’s a great bag for getting everything you need in, but being able to separate your shoes and clothing from other bits and pieces.
As always, Ik has packed lots of her favorite Ann Taylor pieces: a velvet belted blazer and smoking pants, velvet halterneck jumpsuit all in the “Dark Meteorite” color paired with the Fendi, Dior and Celine accessories. She’s also packed a glam set of the Ann Taylor butterfly and floral print pajamas.
