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…
“The trees are about to show us how lovely it is to let dead things go” Sweater: H&M | Pants: H&M (old), similar, similar | Shoes: Yosi Samra (use SIMONE20 for 20% off!) | Earrings: Bauble Bar | Sunglasses: Perverse | Bag: Chloe, similar, steal Fall is great time to embrace change and to progress in a better direction. Let’s face it, putting your best foot forward isn’t always the easiest thing to do. Especially after a disagreement or in a discouraging environment. You try and try but somehow you still find yourself in a not-so-great place. It’s like putting…
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 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…
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…
Outfit + Sneakers: c/o ProPlayer As Fall rolls in, it’s a great time to reevaluate any goals and/or resolutions you may have put in place at the beginning of the year. Check out mine here. It’s also a good time for a fresh start if you’re looking for an excuse to start something new. Or to form a new habit [post on this here]. For me, it’s a new goal, fitness. I swear I try to work out as often as possible. But working out can be exhausting for me, it always has been. Commuting to the city takes up…
