What I Wore: High Heels, High Hopes + Essence.com Feature

By 3 Comments

Sorry for the delay in posts! Fashion week was so much fun, but ridiculously insane! This was also my first full week back to work. I was drained mentally and physically hence the lack of posts, but I am back. So this is one of my looks that I rocked during New York Fashion Week. I believe this was Day 3 or Day 4 I am not completely sure. I attended the Honor by Giovanna Randall and Venexiana shows. After the Venexiana show myself along with a few of my blogging buddies attended a party for Tracee Ellis Ross hosted by Essence.com at Shun Lee. I was featured in their Street Style section and was super excited.

Street Style Feature

Here is a photo of my complete look at Lincoln Center

My entire outfit (except the shoes) came from H & M.  I actually bought my leopard print pumps from Sears about a month ago.

Here are a few photos at Shun Lee

The Cupid Shuffle brought everyone to the dance floor.

Melissa and Melanie of O So Chic and Makeda of Glamazon Diaries

I love the color palett that we have going on!

Kitty of Kitty Bradshaw.com, Makeda, and Melissa once again.

If it wasn’t for Kitty and Melissa I would have been home at 6pm after my last show, but we walked to the CND Shellac Manicure truck, which was closed, then met up with Nikki of Osei Pr and Teena Leone of Fashion for Breakfast and had lunch. I was ready to go home but Kitty was like girl you better stay and network, which is how I got a chance to meet Makeda and a few other bloggers. After the shows we headed to Shun Lee and had a blast! So thank you to Kitty and Melissa for a great time and a great fashion week!

Event Recap: Bloggers Night Out #BNONyc

By 4 Comments

Friday was such a hectic, but amazing day. After work I headed to Lincoln Center for the Joy Cioci Spring 2012 Presentation. I hung around Lincoln Center for a while then went to grab a bite to eat before I headed to the Bloggers Night Out Event at Pranna on Madison Avenue.

I had such a great time at this event. There was an open bar and giveaways all night long. I won this awesome fringe dress from Lulu’s. We talked about our hectic schedules for NYFW. Of course we took lots of photos and swooned over each others’ outfits and accessories. Take a look at a few photos from the night

What I Wore

I loved Allison’s (Fashion Enthusiast)  Badgely Mischka dress. The netural colored heels complimented the dress extremely well.

Melissa from O So Chic also looked amazing in this floral print peplum dress.

Preity from Fashion Solace looked great with her signature Jeffrey Campbell Lita’s. I loved the intricate beading on her dress. It was gorgeous.

Patrice from  Looking Fly on a Dime, Danielle from Style and Beauty Doctor, Adrienne from Me, My Hair and the City, and Melissa from O So Chic all looked great and were ready to party.

I love going to events where I get to meet my readers and people that I connect with on Twitter. Cherrie, from Cherrie Amore  and I comment on each other’s blogs all of the time and connect on twitter so it was great to finally meet her. I loved her polka dot dress that she complimented with purple heels (even though you can’t see them).

Here is Gabrielle from Design Muse. She looked cute and comfy in her polka dot shorts, chiffon blouse and knee boots.

Here is Ashley of Ashley 4 Emergy, Nike of The Style Circuit, and Preity of Fashion Solace

Here’s Preity with her fab shoes from LuLu’s. I will be posting pics of my dress soon! So stay tuned!

This weekend was HECTIC. The weekends are usually for rest, but I got none of that. My day on Saturday started EARLY. I went to the Macy’s Flower Show with my mom and my niece. We also did some shopping for my brother whose birthday is today (Happy Birthday Lloyd 🙂 ) The flower show was beautiful! I took some great photos and will be creating looks based off of the flowers so stay tuned.

After I left my mom and niece, I met up with my friend Shelly and we attended the Getting Gorgeous with Degree event hosted my Audrey McClelland and Vera Sweeney. Since this was an event geared toward bloggers of course I saw most of my blogging buddies (Melissa and Melanie of O So Chic, Kitty of Kitty Bradshaw, Shanequa of Temple of Glam, Christine from Tineey.com and bloggers I recently met from the NYC Blogger’s Meetup Group (Monroe from Fashion Steele, Pam from Cinderella’s Closet, Ellie from City Brewed, Nubia from Nubia’s Nonsense, Jen from House of Jeffers, and Stephanie from Girl Friday.
