MY STYLE FIX: EMBELLISHED DRESS

Happy Thursday! Believe it or not, I'm still riding high off of New York Fashion Week, even though it was well over a month ago. I had so many amazing experiences that would make any fashion lover just die, in my Rachel Zoe voice.

I mean, attending presentations in intimate settings where you're able to get up-close and personal to the designs, and literally reach out and touch the pieces was amazing, and so tempting, but not recommended, as they were attached to human beings who may have been less than receptive to the caresses of total strangers  who seemed more deranged, and less like the enthusiastic fashion lovers that they were. 

So, after slipping on a little dress paired with a denim vest and pumps, to attend the By Misha  SS/2013 collection presentation, I knew to keep my hands to myself, as not to be tossed out on my ass for overzealous groping or some sort of sexual harassment. 

I controlled myself and played it cool, but my bulging eyes, which honestly was in and of itself creepy, but by no means arrestable, told the story of my excitement to be among such beautiful designs with their intricate details and vibrant colors.    

I was like a kid in a candy store, and can you blame me. The proximity to the gorgeous live imagery of flowy chiffon and broccade in stunning shades, was intoxicating.  

As I walked around and soaked it all in at an appropriate distance away from the models of course, since I made every attempt not to further frightened the subjects by breeching their personal space, I was able to see the fine work of the designer Misha Vaidya, who I meet briefly and was able to congratulate on a job well done.

Enjoy your day. Thanks for stopping by<3

MY STYLE FIX: NYFW COCKTAIL DRESS

Happy Hump Day! I don't know if you're aware of this, but weeks before New York Fashion Week actually takes place, there's so much planning that goes into not what shows you're going to attend, or what parties you're going to crash, but rather, what in Heaven's name are you going to wear.  

When I saw this Three Floor Dress I had that feeling, you know that love at first sight, I gotta have him right here, right now, I don't care who's watching feeling. Well, that's how I felt when I saw this little number.  

I just knew it would be perfect for any New York Fashion Week event or runway show I had the opportunity to attend. Or perhaps just for lounging around the house, since that was always a strong possibility, as at the time of purchase, I had nothing lined up.    

It would've been such a shame if nothing panned out and my cat and the BF were the only ones to see me in the dress, both of whom could care less if I washed my ass, much less put on a fancy dress. It's that whole unconditional love thing, or my winning personality that allows them to overlook my occasional stench, I suppose. Needless to say, the awesomeness of the dress would be lost on them.

However, fashion lovers don't know me to give two shits about me. So, clearly a shower was certainly in order prior to attending anything. A clean body and this dress would be worn to insure that my encounters would at least lead to feelings of indifference, or at best an appreciation for the piece, which only that stylish crowd could embrace.  

So, when I found out that I'd be attending Rachel Zoe's Runway Show at Lincoln Center for her Spring 2013 Collection it was a no-brainer. The dress was perfect especially since there was a cocktail reception right before the show, and this dress paired with a jacket, statement necklace, and pumps was ideal for that occasion.

At the event I mingled with attendees and got the chance to see one of my favorite Stylist/Designer put on one hell of a show. It was a blast! Btw, pictures from the show will be posted on my 

Facebook Page later today

Enjoy your day! Thanks for stopping by<3

MY STYLE FIX: NYFW MIXING PRINTS

Happy Monday! New York Fashion Week is finally over! It was my first time participating, and while I'm dead tired, and could totally use some electrolytes or an IV drip to reenergize, it was so worth it as I was truly blown away by the whole production.

I'm a New Yorker, and Lincoln Center has always been nothing more than an artsy fartsy tourist trap where people go to get so-call culture. But, during Fashion Week it became a much more cool hub for photographers, journalists, fashion bloggers, celebrities, and the occasional stalker. Yeah, everybody was pretty much there, and not just inside taking in the shows, but outside capturing and admiring Street Syle.

 I had no idea that it would be like that, but I quickly became aware when as soon as I arrived wearing this floral dress and a blazer, paired with a statement necklace and gladiator pumps, I was immediately mobbed by photographers asking to take my picture as if I was one of those celebrities with a sex tape. 

To say it was surreal is an understatement, and as I stood there posing trying to channel my inner Naomi Campbell, I couldn't help but feel flattered and simultaneously nervous and terrified that the high powered lens and video cameras would pick up all my imperfections and broadcast them to the entire world.  

In spite of that fear, I took the pictures, did the interviews, and bravely signed the release forms all while praying that the shots and the footage would be airbrushed and edited to an inch of perfection before being released to the public. Fortunately, I got lucky and YouTube Star AnneOrShine and her camera guy Eric interviewed me in the video above and as you can see, starting at the 3:20 to 4:10 point where I was featured, I didn't come off as a total monster.  

The shades absolutely helped as it concealed that deer in the headlight look I sported throughout that day. However, the huge smile that I wore in the photographs definitely told the story of how happy and excited I was to be a part of it all. 

Enjoy your day! Thanks for stopping by<3

MY STYLE FIX: DENIM JUMPSUIT

So, it's Fashion Week in NYC, and yesterday was Fashion Night Out! I really wish somebody would've told me that you'd need a shot of B12, Red Bull, and possibly even a line of Meth to make it through the day. 

I mean just say no and all, at least to that type anyway, but the snorting option may need to be on the table if you want to get your Energizer Bunny on, and attend all those events. There's a reason why they call it Speed, so clearly there must be something to that. 

I could've used it, or a shot of adrenaline because trust me, it's been exhausting running from one location to another, all while wearing my highest heels, which also double as death traps depending on what NYC cobble stone street I've had to navigate.  

But, it's Fashion Week, so you throw caution to the wind, as well as common sense, and risk breaking your neck, or completely embarassing yourself, since those types of streets are only doable if you have hoofs, and wearing stiletto anything may land you a one way ticket on your ass. True story. 

I've seen it happen. Never to me, knock on wood, but always in slow motion strangely enough. But, even with the inherent risk, you still get out there as your best fashion representative, and you try your damnedest to find a cab! 

Only a fool would walk anywhere in that condition. When all else fails, slow deliberate steps have been my fall back when en route to events like the Lucky Magazine Brunch where I wore this Rachel Roy Jumpsuit as seen here paired with a statement necklace, and heels.

Between the lack of sleep, and all the running around, the balancing act is no joke, but it's worth every painful step after painful step, as I've met so many really cool Bloggers that I admire, like Erin from Apartment34 

Have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by<3
