New York fashion week can be quite the intimidating experience, so seeing some familiar faces in a not so familiar place was just was I needed.

So I took a break between shows and dancing on rooftop bars (whoops!) to brunch with some of my favorite ladies in New York’s west village. Twiirly (the amazing new app that I have been working on) and San Francisco brand, Amour Vert hosted one of the most beautiful brunches that I have ever attended.

Beautiful people (inside + out).

Beautiful decor.

Beautiful clothes.

Beautiful eats.

The spread at While We Were Young was magical and the space could not be more instagramable (<- is that a word?)

Stay tuned for the brunch recap on Wednesday!

It is a MUST for your next dining outing in NYC.

I had to be up very early the morning of the brunch so this look had to be quick and comfortable, yet NYFW appropriate. An Amour Vert skirt was a MUST mixed with this Page Thirty leather jacket.

Why does a leather jacket always make me feel cool?

And this leather jacket from Page Thirty REALLY made me feel cool. Page Thirty was started in 2015 to create contemporary style leather apparel using premium materials, all manufactured in sunny California. They design stylish leather apparel without sacrificing a sophisticated silhouette. They are inspired by timeless chic looks with a minimalist edge. The Harper Bolero that I am sporting was the perfect piece to pair with my Amour Vert skirt. Although let’s be real here it was not the only piece of outerwear I was wearing in New York in February.

Ruti at The Roxy: Another Look From #NYFW

I spent a night (or two) at The Roxybury  during New York Fashion Week… see what I did there. The Roxy Hotel could not have been a better hotel for Fashion Week. The Roxy was once The Tribeca Grand and the first major hotel in the area, according to a guy I met playing the FB88. It has been home to celebrities and a dynamic mix of restaurants, shops, financial institutions, bitcoin casinon i Sverige and thriving independent film companies. The lobby and public areas are fabulous…but the late night jazz is NOT for anyone who wants to catch some early shut-eye…which is not necessarily me, but a good fact to know if you are planning to book a stay at the hotel.

The Roxy is located in a perfect location on a prime cobblestone corner on the border of SoHo and TriBeCa. It was a short walk to shopping and cafes (when it wasn’t snowing) and a quick uber to the shows and presentations.

Now let’s take a minute to talk about this Ruti dress. Fresh from her Spring collection, The Painted Ramona Dress is everything I needed for a crazy day running around Manhattan in the winter. This sleek collared blouse dress is exactly what I wanted to throw on halfway through the trip. The eye-catching paint print made just the statement that I needed for Fashion Week, but the simple and flattering silhouette left me comfortable for a very long day. I paired it with my go-to Stella McCartney boots and my chunky Kenzo x H&M jackets and called it a day! My boots suffered a bit of damage due to the snow and salt on the ground. Quickly forcing me to learn to always wipe off my boots when I got in to prevent the salt from destroying them!

Who makes your coat?

 Banana Republic

Who makes your shoes?

No idea!

True story. This really happened last week during an interview at New York fashion week. How did I not know who made my shoes?!? Why did I lie and say that I purchased them at Bloomingdales instead of Neiman Marcus? How did I not remember that they were by Gianvito Rossi? I am still kicking myself for this silly mistake and oh-so-thankful that it hasn’t appeared on my newsfeed… yet!

Fashion week brings out all the emotions. It is inspiring, exhausting, exhilarating, freezing (in February) and has left me with the most EXTREME foot pain from the unknown shoes!

All in all it was 100% worth it and I can’t wait to do it again in London!

What does a San Francisco blogger pack for New York Fashion Week?

E V E R Y T H I N G

Packing for Fashion Week is overwhelming + stressful – Trust Me. What do I wear? Will I look cool enough? Will I be warm enough?

H A R D

Planning is key. So I gave myself PLENTY of time and partnered with some amazing brands to (hopefully) make NYFW a success.

L A Y E R

From bodysuits to cardigans to tights + turtlenecks!

Layering is key…just make sure you have a trusty tote to carry around ALL those layers.Travel Blogger, Travel With Me, Anthropologie, Style Blogger, Stylist, KatWalkSF, NYFW, Raden, Fashion Week, WIW, OOTD

Nope! Despite Benji’s best efforts to jump into my oh-so-fabulous suitcase he did not make the trek to NYC and is back home safe in California. Now let’s take a minute and talk about this Raden suitcase. This lightweight, durable and flexible A28 from Raden, allowed me to pack MORE and waste less space – AMEN to that! I will do ANYTHING to avoid those outrageous overweight luggage fees, right? Have you ever had a checked bag that was JUST a smidge over the allowed weight by the airline? Well, Wednesday morning (at the crack of dawn) at the airport I discovered that THIS scarf weighs in at three pounds! So I took it out and wore it on the plane and it DID serve as a fantastic blanket on the flight.

Back to the suitcase…

This bad boy even has a power bank, allowing you to charge multiple devices on the go and link your suitcase with your phone via the Raden app. WOWZA!

#WhatsInMyBag? Everything – LITERALLY.

The team at Anthropologie knows hows to keep a fashionista ready for anything – especially in the beauty department. I know that dry skin is a MAJOR problem for me when I travel and the Sunday Riley water treatment is the perfect solution for dry skin. This advanced water treatment uses papaya enzymes to exfoliate, balance and restore dry, congested skin AKA everyone’s skin after a long flight and chilly weather.

See that phone in the photo? Yep. Not an iPhone. Let’s take a minute and talk about the Coolpad. The high-quality cameras allow you to capture sharp, crisp selfies + memories – PERFECT for Fashion Week.

And if you know me (and follow my Instagram) you know I love selfies!

Friday Forecast: The Ruffle Hem Pant

Have you snatched up a pair of the season’s most coveted ruffle hem crop trousers yet?

I have been on the prowl for the perfect pair these days for the following reasons:

  1. Not only are they ridiculously playful (they lend just the right amount of unexpected punctuation to the pant’s chic simplicity.), but you can actually rock them in the boardroom with a polished pump.
  2. They pair perfectly with booties + I can’t stop, won’t stop searching for the perfect gold bootie. Suggestions anyone?
  3. We’ve been rocking the romantic ruffle trend on tops for days. Let’s give our trousers a moment in the spotlight.

These Club Monaco sweater pants are on the top of my wishlist, but I just can’t get behind the price tag on a SUCH a trendy piece. I’m thinking about starting off with a fast fashion trouser before I make the plunge.

What do you think?
