The Power Suit at NYFW

Hell Ya!

The Fall 2016 runways kicked off the trend, offering up pantsuits featuring slim cuts, bold patterns, slouchy fits and peplum-accented blazers. Perfect for a night out and the boardroom – depending on you style it (I’m pretty sure my boob tee wouldn’t cut it in the boardroom). Spring 2017 picked up where Fall 2016 left off, providing working women everywhere options like velvet, oversized

Spring 2017 picked up where Fall 2016 left off, giving us more power suit options in velvet, oversized silhouettes, and creative layering tricks.

Cut to Fall 2017 and it was pretty hard to find a runway that didn’t feature some form of power suiting. We saw everything from boldly patterned pieces to more conventional incarnations with an exaggerated twist.

Now, let’s talk about my look from NYFW. This entire look was a steal and one of my favorite outfits from NYFW. You can snag this entire power suit look at your local mall without breaking the bank and are sure to turn heads!

The power suit is from Banana Republic (thanks, mom) and the t-shirt can be found at Topshop.

Purple Hair Don’t Care – White After Labor Day + The Kimono of My Dreams

Whoever said rules were meant to be broken must have known me. 

This look is proof (to my crazy ass) that you CAN wear white after labor day, dye your hair purple after 30 and rock a kimono without anyone yelling some ‘cultural appropriation’ bullshit at you.

We live in a crazy world where everyone is on high alert and ready to attack the moment you don’t fit in with normal expectations! I mean – Let me live my life! I adore this look and frankly, that is all that matters, right?

The purple hair come c/o of the team over at Matrix and the AMAZING Elements Hair Studio in Brooklyn. The team hooked me up with purple roots and a stunning silver rinse – perfect for fashion week and perfect for me. I can’t remember the last time I had normal hair.

The white after labor day rule is done. I didn’t even think twice about pairing this white dress with the white boots for this look. And for the record, I think white shoes are going to be a big trend this season – so much so I created a Pinterest board about it.

Now let’s chat about the kimono. I have been wearing this bad boy nonstop since I snagged it from ASOS and I am not mad about it. I can not tell you a number of compliments I have received since I started wearing it. It was literally a showstopper at fashion week and I can not wait to continue to style it into fall.

So, there ya have it –

Beauty: Travel With Me + My eos Lip Balm

First things first, can we take a minute and talk about the fact the I JUST discovered that the makers of the fantastic pastel egg shaped lip balms we ALL have in our purses eos stands for ‘evolution of smooth.’

Mind Blown

I feel like everything in my life just came together and everything makes sense. The eos or the evolution of smooth is pretty much the secret to travel. I am constantly on the road and my skin is constantly suffering from it. In such cases, you can contact an experienced dermatologist who can remove dimples without scars or lumps for treatments suitable for your skin.From running through security last minute at SFO to taxing on the runway at LAX – my travel diaries are long and not very luxurious. Do I wear makeup to the airport only to take it off the moment we take off? Is that what the cool girls are doing these days?

Insert me – the last person on the plane 99% of the time with my makeup on from the night before. What is the easiest thing I can do to help? Introduce all-natural products starting with eos lip balm. It is easy and compact and actually quite instagramable. It is a high quality, all-natural product yet with a drugstore price tag.

Now, these images are from my recent trip down south to Los Angeles from San Francisco. A girls trip for me to LA usually means a ton of shopping + sun. And while shopping + the sun are two of my favorite past times maintaining a fresh face can be a struggle after a long day of traveling and a ton of sun.

Look at me -no makeup and looking fresh oh-so fresh faced.
