Behind the Scenes of my NYFW Experience

Spring/Summer 2014 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week was absolutely epic! I would go as far as to say that this has been the most groundbreaking fabulous fashion week of all time. I am slightly biased though, as this was my first time actually attending fashion week, and it was every bit as magical as I thought it would be! I saw some gorgeous, life changing shows and presentations and had the opportunity to meet some legendary style icons. Basically, I had the most wonderful time ever! I hope you enjoy my snapshots from my two days of ecstasy and please forgive the less crisp pics, this is NYFW as captured through my phone.

I also need to give a special thank you to Zeba Rashid, Anne Caruso, and Dena Giannini. You made my epic fashion week whirlwind possible! I can NEVER thank you enough!

TADASHI SHOJI

The first show I attended for NYFW (and ever) was Tadashi Shoji. This was the most incredible way to kick off fashion week! His designs are elegant, modern, and effortlessly beautiful! It was full of show stoppers, which was not surprising at all, but absolutely breathtaking.

REBECCA MINKOFF

I legitimately had goosebumps throughout the entire Rebecca Minkoff show–being in the second row probably had something to do with this too! Janelle Monae opened the show and performed throughout setting the scene for a truly incredible experience for the audience. The show was full of energy, color, prints, and the most fierce gladiator sandals EVER!

HONOR

The Honor show was unique and a true performance! The atmosphere was vibrant and simply beautiful!

NOVIS

I must admit this Fashion Week was my first introduction to Novis and I am beyond obsessed! I literally wanted everything shown in the presentation! The presentation was made up of vibrant colors and prints, sheer accents, and basic yet fabulous pieces! Obsessed is really the only word I have for the Novis presentation.

TOME

The Tome presentation was the definition of feminine elegance! Love!

PARTY PICS

Me & Tadashi Shoji at the after party for his show!! His success, creativity and humble spirit are such an inspiration!

I stalked Louise Roe after the Rebecca Minkoff show and she was kind enough to take a pic! She said I looked chic and I almost died!

Aimee Song (Song of Style) is another style icon of mine! She is fabulous and was so friendly!

I am a HUGE Fashion Police fan and meeting George Kotsiopoulos was an absolute dream come true! He was so sweet & wonderful!

DC does NYFW! I had a fabulous time with these fabulous ladies! (Diana, Irina, Ally, Liz, Meaghan)

Oscars 2013 Best Dressed

The magical night that we have all been waiting for has finally arrived! Dresses are snatched fresh off the runways of fashion weeks worldwide and placed onto Hollywood’s ultimate runway, the Academy Awards Red Carpet. The real excitement for me is the red carpet, obviously I care about the big awards and I always root for my favorite movies, but the red carpet is really where it’s at. Similar to the awards, I have my fashion favorites and I root for their red carpet success and my must sees this year did not disappoint. In the spirit of true glitz and glamour sheer, sequins, sparkle, tulle, and texture dominated the carpet this year! I hope you enjoy my favorites from this years Oscars Red Carpet and feel inspired to embrace some of this glamour into your every day life.
