Backstage with Aveda for Tibi NYFW Runway

Images provided by Aveda unless noted otherwise. This fashion week I wanted to show you events and shows that I felt were a little different and less plastered in your face through Instagram stories. As much as I love the exhilaration of a good runway show, I definitely enjoy presentations more. They offer a much more intimate experience with the new collection and you also get a better viewing of what’s to come. On the runway, everything goes by you super quick and I end up looking at the collections online after. What I found to be even more intimate…

Top 5 Fall Trends – Get Your Hands On My Favorites

After NYFW I’m feeling energized and inspired. Between the shows and the street style there is no lack of outfit inspiration. So with all this new found style knowledge I’ve gained over the past few weeks, I wanted to share it with you! And not that I need an excuse to go shopping, but shopping for Fall items is my favorite part of living in New York. As much as I dislike the cold February to April stretch, I love the seasonal transitions. Between the seasons and trends the overload of new merchandise out there can seem a bit overwhelming.…

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.

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…

NYFW Recap: Irina Vitjaz F/W 2017

NYFW Recap: Irina Vitjaz F/W 2017

Irina Vitjaz NYFW F/W 2017 Collection The Russian born Austrian fashion designer Irina Vitjaz certainly wowed this season with the best and the brightest dresses. The collection was a mix of looks that were either vibrant and airy or deep and serious. Think summer wedding vs. black tie event. Creating such a versatile collection is not easy to do yet Vitjaz was able to execute these very contrasting styles seamlessly. For me the, the yellow gown stole the show. I think I heard almost everyone gasp when the model walked out. My photos don’t do the beaded belt justice, but trust, it’s truly…
