My New York Fashion Week Recap

· New york fashion Week, NYFW, travel

Three days at New York Fashion Week seemed like a New York minute! I survived my first fashion week and wanted to share my dream experience with all of you. I will do some other posts on what was in my bag and how I planned my outfits in the weeks to come. But for now, here is my three days in what I can only describe as a dream come true. A lot of hustle and bustle, amazing clothing and street style, and a once in a lifetime experience.

Do you ever have those moments where you just want to pinch yourself because you think, “how is this happening to me?” Well, I had about seven of those throughout my few days in New York. I am not much a a wedding girl and don’t really dream about that big day, but Fashion Week on the other hand, is something I have dreamed about since I was a little girl. For those who follow me on Instagram, you were able to catch some snippets from my days. Here is just a little glimpse into the three days in New York and thoughts on some of the shows I was able to attend.

DAY ONE

The outfit

 

Romeo Hunte SS18 Presentation

You definitely see some bold fashion at New York Fashion week. The Romeo Hunte presentation had some interesting pieces, but fun details and great leather statements.

Reward Style Retreat

831Minhle

The 831 Minhle show has some beautiful and delicate lace pieces. Loved them all.

Michael Costello

The Michael Costello show was by far one of my favorite shows/presentations. I felt like I was walking into an art gallery filled with beautiful gowns. Each room had a themed look and feel to the dresses and I fell in love with every single one of them. I know who I will be reaching out to when I am ready for my wedding dress.

DAY TWO

The outfit

Taoray Wang

If you haven’t noticed by now, the suit is coming back in a big way! Most of the shows I attended had great structured suits, tops and trousers. I loved how Taoray Wang made some untraditional changes to the traditional suit. Sorry for the blurry photo.

Son Jung Wan
Every show was so fun to go to. I loved see all the production that goes into these pounding 10 minutes of fashion. Son Jung Wan had some very unique pieces with great little details.

DAY THREE
The Outfit

Francesca Liberatore
This Italian designer has some amazing 50’s Euro inspired pieces.
They were feminine and unique and I absolutely loved the entire collection. If you haven’t heard of her, you need to check her out.

 

Such an amazing few days and I can’t wait to attend again next year.

End of summer reflections

· Uncategorized

While Labor Day is behind us and summer is officially over, I am going to squeeze every last bit out of these last warm summer days while I can. I don’t typically get too personal on my blog, but thought some end of the summer reflections were in order because it is important to take some time to reflect on what has happened and move forward from those experiences.

This summer was something that I needed for a long time. I had the opportunity to take some much needed time off from work and just about every responsibility I have. This gave me some time off to unwind (which took longer than I thought). As well as, adjust my outlook on my life and learn some lessons along the way.

It is so important to take some time off to reflect on everything and really think about where you are going and what you want to do. I know not everyone has the luxury of not working and doing this full-time. But, I encourage all of you to take some time – five minutes, one minute, a second – to reflect on the day/week/year. It allows you to create your vision of what you want your life to look like and how you want each day to look. I decided to call this, filling in my personal calendar.

Don’t get me wrong; you will have some off days of mindless work and chores. This is part of life. If you can try to take some time each day to think about how that next day might look and what you can do to get closer to your goal, it will only benefit you in the long run.

So I encourage all of you to take a moment today and think about your summer and what you did, learned and want to do in the weeks to come. For me, I am going to get more creative in my approach to my blog and really take the time to explore some new ideas that I can share with all of you. Being unemployed has really taught me some hard lessons on budgeting and spending, which has forced me to cut down on my shopping and really think about those key pieces that I buy for my closet this fall.

Don’t worry; I will share my lessons and styling tips along the way.

Cheers.
