I absolutely loved attending the shows at Lincoln Center. It’s been my first time ever in NYC for fashion week and guess what? I SURVIVED. Everything from the crowds to the massive amounts of photographers was a bit overwhelming, yet still totally exciting. Here I am snapped just after the Nicole Miller show! The collection was amazing. I loved the upbeat music and models clad in looks of all colors of the rainbow. The whole show just had a really fun and fresh vibe. I loved how neon was used in the collection, and the way Nicole played around with a lot of different prints. That really helped give off a young cool attitude that was so much my style. I loved it! As for my outfit selection, I decided to take it up a notch and get a little dressy. I’m still obsessed with this Calvin Klein skirt. Because it’s totally sheer, I wore a romper underneath it. Not exactly bathroom friendly, but it did the trick. And check out my new Rebecca Minkoff studded shoulder bag? It’s got a classic yet rock n roll vibe. OBSESSED. I love a classic neural look with some hard edged accessories.

I’m currently in LA, sifting through all of my NYFW photos, and boy I did not realize how many photos we took! SO MANY. One of my favorite batches of photos are from this morning, spent with my favorite girls Christina, Dylana, and Bonnie at an early Lulu’s breakfast get-together at Soho’s Crosby Hotel. Even through all the madness between shows, we managed to get up early for a delicious all American breakfast of eggs, french toast, coffee, and lots and lots of BACON. I kept my look fairly simple. A really casual crop tee with some of the coolest cords ever. Yes, I am wearing CORDS. I don’t know when they came back in style, but I’m totally diggin them. And oh my, I’ve been on a purse craze. I think during all of fashion week I wore a different bag a day. Problem? I most certainly think so! But it’s been fun to say the least. Photos from the shows and events to come! For now, you can take a little sneak peek into my time at NYFW on VOLCOMUNITY! Speaking of which, I’m heading back to the Big Apple first thing in the morning. I always feel all weird when I leave LA, only because I’m never really sure when I’m coming back, and I always miss my family and home. But I had a great time here. I got to work with Lucky Magazine for their Tacori and Bloomingdale’s event in Century City (more deets to come!). It was a great event and a perfect excuse to to fly home. Sad to leave, yet a bit excited to get back in the New York groove.

During NYFW, I spent an evening down in Soho to host the amazing TOPSHOP event! It’s always been one of those stores I HAVE to take my friends to. 3 stories high, and full of super hot clothes, it’s pretty amazing. With TOPSHOP, I got to make my top selects from the store and meet a lot of my readers who were in town for fashion week. Guests got to enjoy yummy treats, drinks, and get a bit pampers by the team over at Arrojo salon. Going through the store, I couldn’t stop looking at the new skinny jeans. The velvet floral skinny jean really caught my eye. Paired with a classic knit sweater, and I was good to go. Most importantly, I was really happy that my sister, Dylana, who was in town along with my favorite east coasters, Claire and Bonnie! It’s always a good time with these girls, especially on a a sugar high! The s’mores and the ginger mocktails were addicting. Many thanks to everyone who came out! So crazy to get to meet readers in person, but always a joy 🙂
