Blonde in the District

I have always been a fan of leopard print. When I saw leopard print was going to be huge last season, I was screaming for joy inside. After attending New York Fashion Week (NYFW) Spring/Summer 2020, I was relieved to see that leopard is STILL very much in style, according to the street style scene. While leopard print seemed to be a reigning fave, snakeskin was also a close contender! From loud head to toe snakeskin and leopard pint looks to more subdued statement items, I sa

It's hard to believe that almost 2 weeks ago I was headed to NYC for New York Fashion Week (NYFW) Spring/Summer 2020 (SS20)! NYFW is always one of my favorite things to do because not only do I love seeing what trends will be big for the upcoming season, but I LOVE to see the street style and all the amazing things fashion-goers wear! I'll be giving a NYFW highlights by day, and today I'm sharing my Day 1 highlights and what I wore! NYFW Day 1: Look 1 For the first look of NY

If you've followed along with some of my previous New York Fashion Week (NYFW) experiences, you'll know one of my favorite reasons to attend is for the Street Style. Along with all the fabulous runway shows, are the lovely people who are attending the shows and trust me when I say people show up & show out. NYFW is one of the best places to find new inspiration and see what is going to be reallllll popular in the upcoming seasons. Last weekend I hit NYFW with my closest creat

Around every New York Fashion Week (NYFW) season, the number one question I always get is "How do I get invited to shows?" With NYFW Fall/Winter19 coming up just around the corner, I wanted to share some old NYFW posts, but also share some tips on how to get show invites & what to expect from NYFW. The number one thing you must do to get invites is have the courage to ask for invites. Unless you are a celeb or well rooted in the fashion industry, chances are invites will not

If there is one place you need to show up and show out, its at New York Fashion Week (NYFW). At NYFW, you can expect to see the best street style ever, and be inspired on new ways to wear things or the hottest styles of the season. Speaking of seasons, you may be wondering how NYFW actually works or why the presentations don't coincide with the actual season. Fashion Week is always seasons ahead. For example, in February, designers show their Fall/Winter collections for that

Two weeks ago I was NYC bound for New York Fashion Week (NYFW) and The CurvyCon. I still remember my first NYFW experience and ever since, I told myself I was going to go every season. Between the shows, meeting new people, and the street style, it is the fashion highlight of my year time and time again. This September I had a really quick NYFW trip, only staying 2 days/1 night, so I tried to fit in as much as possible. One of the shows I was able to see was the Flying Solo S

I know I’ve already touched on how much I love the experience of fashion week, but today I’m going to explain the why. I was inspired to write this after the Pamella Rowland show I attended this year at NYFW, and the Gucci FW18 presentation is what is fueling my thoughts as I type this. Something that people don’t understand in fashion (cue my Devil Wears Prada Miranda schooling Andy on blue cerulean sweater moment) – is it is more than just the clothing. It is the inspiratio

It is with much excitement that I’m writing today’s post. February marks a special relationship for myself and my favorite salon, Illusions of Georgetown. After a year of working with Illusions on various hair and event collabs, I am now the official Brand Ambassador!!! If you remember from my Hair Journey post, Illusions was the salon who fixed my hair disaster last January when my old colorist inadvertently dyed my hair brown. It was a full on hot mess. It took my hair mont

Time flies when you’re having fun. That is the NYFW motto, for sure. I can’t believe its been 1 week since I was in NYC enjoying fashion everything. As you may have read in my post last week, NYFW is so much fun, but it isn’t all glamour and fun. There are some downsides to it, but hey, I’m not complaining- I take it as all part of the experience. Today I’m talking about my third NYFW experience with some tips on attending, along with the details of my favorite outfit of the

Happy Fab Friday, friends! Todays post is going to be super short and sweet, as I'm typing this from my hotel in NYC for NYFW. I arrived yesterday and already my trip has been made by the first successful day of seeing the Fall/Winter18 presentations of LANYU and Pamella Rowland. At the Pamella Rowland show we also spotted Nigel Barker- what a beautiful human!- and I almost cried at the sheer utter beauty of her designs. Something I want to say as I'm attending NYFW- I canno

On the final day of our NYFW experience, we woke up struggling from a night of margs at Tortilla Flats, dancing at the Gansevoort Meatpacking, and 99 cent pizza at 4am. But, we had a blast. We pulled ourselves together and got ready to attend our final NYFW show, Dan Liu at Skylight Clarkson Square. NYFW Day 3 Look: NYFW Diary: Day 3 Even though we were exhausted, we made it to the Dan Liu show early to ensure we got seats. Skylight Clarkson Square is the main hub for NYFW sh

NYFW Day 2, Part II continued..... After The Curvy Con ended, I went directly to the location for the Philipp Plein show to get in line. While I had been invited to the show (a fashion miracle!) I was never assigned a seat and I was scared this would mean I wouldn't be let in. So, I showed up over an hour before the show started to get in line. Luckily, Tonya Michelle has texted me that she was also going to the show, so we were able to stand in line together. The experience

After an amazing NYFW Day 1, I wasn't sure if it could be topped, but it totally was! For Day 2, Catherine and I attended The Curvy Con, which is a conference for the curve and plus fashion industry. The event was all day long and truly made for a memorable experience. Following The Curvy Con, I attended the epic Philipp Plein show, which was quite possibly the highlight of my trip, although its really hard to choose the highlight because everything was amazing. I originally

I'm so excited to finally share my NYFW looks and experience with you, friends. I attended Fall/Winter 2017 NYFW in February for the first time and it was incredible. Going into the September Spring/Summer 2018 NYFW, I knew it was going to be incredible again, but this season turned out to be completely surreal. We had celeb sightings, saw amazing shows, and partied it up in NYC, going to sleep at like 3am every night, to wake up at 7am each morning and do it all over again.

I can't believe its already been 2 weeks since I was living it up at NYFW! Seriously, where is the time going? Spring will be here before we know it, but the good thing about the time moving fast is September Fashion Week will be here soon, too! If you're intrigued on what NYFW was like or you have interest in attending in September, be sure to check my NYFW: The Experience post where I rated the top 10 takeaways. Today I'm sharing my NYFW outfits and style. While we went for

Fab Friday for a Fab brand. Today I'm dishing on my new found love for ELOQUII, a brand that caters to curve and plus women. It was only recently I really got into ELOQUII. While I had seen ELOQUII around Instagram and on some of my blogger friends who swear by the brand, I hadn't ordered anything from ELOQUII since they are an online retailer and I'm more of an in person shopper. I like to see and touch the materials and try on items in person. Sure I love online shopping, b

Well, it's official. I can finally say I attended NYFW once in my life. And it was the most amazing experience, like, ever. Since I was a little girl, going to a NYFW show has been on my bucket list. Out of pure luck and some serious hustle, I was able to attend last week with Roxanne and Nicole and holy cow, it was beyond. Lifetime Women Behind the Seams Event at Milk Studios I could go on and on about this, since I have SO much to say, so I'll be breaking my posts into a fe
