I love fashion, and I love New York City. So it would just make sense that I would love New York Fashion Week, even though I’ve never been to NYFW or to a fashion show. NYFW is specifically for industry insiders, media (newspapers, magazines, and television), models and celebrities, and select VIBs (very important bloggers). There are some events open to the public including the TRESemme Runway Studio Salon, Carol Galvin Foundation Women’s Cancer Fashion Runway Gala, Fashion Week Online VIP Lounge, NYFW Fashion for Charity Rising Stars Runway Show, as well as several fashion shows by select up-and-coming designers.

Ashley Graham Gets “Real”
If you don’t know who Ashley Graham is, then you must be out of the loop. She is a fashion and lingerie model, a role model for women everywhere, and a woman who just so happens to be beautifully curvy. She is also one of three beautiful women featured in the upcoming swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated. This Nebraska native recently said that people needed to stop putting labels on curvy women. “You know, I don’t like to use the words ‘real women,’ honestly,” she said. “I like to use the word woman. And I say that because there are so […]

Winter Styles You’ll Want to Copy
The first and second big snows of 2016 have hit the East and I must say, I love it! I love the look of stylish winter coats, and like many other women, I try to incorporate the styles I see on the street into my own personal style. Right now, I toggle back and forth between my Harley Davidson coat and my grandfather’s railroad puffer jacket (which makes me feel like he’s always got his arms around me). But I also love the look of a classy coat, like these from Bloomingdale’s. Photo Source: Bloomingdale’s 1. SAM. Freestyle Down Jacket […]
The Timeless Beauty of Adaline
“A young woman, born at the turn of the 20th century, is rendered ageless after an accident. After many solitary years, she meets a man who complicates the eternal life she has settled into.” (Source: IMDb) Narrator: On December 31, 2014, a taxicab traveled through San Francisco, from Chinatown to Marin.

(Source: IMDb) I recently watched The Age of Adaline, and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Like The Curious Case of […]
