Banana Republic x Olivia Palermo NYFW Collection

Banana Republic x Olivia Palermo NYFW Collection

In true spirit of see now, buy now, the Banana Republic x Olivia Palermo collaboration is that much more exciting. I find that most collections are only as strong and it’s hero piece, and that red coat just blows me away! Military inspired jackets and beautiful feminine flowy tops make the collection unforgettable. The mix of edgy and feminine is perfect. If you’re looking for items to spruce up your Fall wardrobe, Banana Republic is the right place. The cuts of the pieces are relatively true to BR’s regular fits and items are offered in regular and petite. Palermo truly…

All I Ever Wanted Was Everything – Twenty seven

All I Ever Wanted Was Everything – Twenty seven

Hello, twenty-seven… If I wrote this post when I planned to (last weekend) it would have been exceptionally different. Crazy what a day makes, huh? Did I keep my promises to myself and others?  How much did I grow personally and professionally?  Is this where I want to be? Is this where I thought I’d be?  Have I challenged myself enough? I didn’t think I’d still be so confused about my “purpose” at twenty-seven. I’ve always said I have this gut feeling I’m meant to do something grand. To help by inspiring others, to lead and motivate. It would be…

Leanne Marshall SS18 NYFW Runway

Leanne Marshall SS18 NYFW Runway

Leanne Marshall SS18 Three words come to mind when I think of Leanne Marshall. They are timeless, elegant and colorful. Marshall’s highly anticipated ready to wear collection was bold and bright. And as for a girl that doesn’t wear much color, all I have to say the color hues were perfect. I do enjoy a bold pop of color, but the color has to be just right. If I were ever to wear a pink dress, the below one is all me. I loved that the garments were flowy and free. Each piece had great movement which is key in…

Taoray Wang SS18 NYFW Runway

Taoray Wang SS18 NYFW Runway

Taoray Wang SS18 Wang Tao is know as “queen of the suit” and I couldn’t agree more. Of everything presented in the runway collection, I couldn’t keep my eyes off the suits. The work wear inspiration was apparent in many of the pieces. I love the shoulders, pinstripes and my favorite? The blazer dress paired with the pleated waistband! The waistband was shown on a few pieces and what a statement it made on a seemingly basic items. Something I’m going to try styling myself is a long blouse under a skirt. It’s a great way to add depth to…

Yosi Samra And The Reality Of NYFW

Yosi Samra And The Reality Of NYFW

Want to know what NYFW is really like? It’s a hustle. You run from show to show, trying your best to get there. They ask you arrive thirty minutes early. On a lucky day in New York you’re on time. Uptown, downtown, East Village, Chelsea Piers, One World Trade, hotels, parks, in the street… shows and presentations can be anywhere in the city. The creativity that goes into these shows is endless, which includes the location. New York City is only thirteen miles long and two miles wide, and about 90% of the time, walking to your next appointment is…
