Next to a Louboutin Shoe sale , Fashion Week has got to be the next most hectic day in a fashionista’s life. Relax and Breathe, it’s only fashion. What Blasphemy of a sentence is that? I jest. This year, I am saying no to sweating in between shows due to running from tent to theater. This year I promise my toes less blisters and more walking which my wallet will thank me for in the latter part of the week ( bye bye Uber ) . Yes, Life will be good. Fall’s a tad late this season thanks to mother nature’s bipolar extremities. New York has been hot and dry this past first day of the Fashion Season. A good hydrating spray preferrably Mac’s Matt Fix+ Spray on hand, a rejuvenating essential oil by Lierac of Paris ofcourse and some old fashioned waterproof mascara by none other than my favorite Make Up Forever and you’re ready to take on the 7 deadliest days of New York. ( Keep cosmetics to a minimum. Bare face and dark lips please.) In Collaboration with Christian Dior.

Read MoreAnswers to your Questions [ Part two]
Thought I’d take this sunny mid-week opportunity to sit down and talk about some of the frequently asked questions I’ve been getting across Tumblr, Twitter, my inbox, Instagram and blog comments over the past couple of months. The last time I tackled a Q&A, I did a good amount of answering and thought you guys had a ball at reading my answers as I did answering them. So why not do a round two, right? I’m just going to spiel, and over the course of reading, I will hopefully cover all of your inquiries about my job, my degree, my blog, my height, and my eyeliner secrets. Before we head onto that, let us marvel in this beautiful piece from Miami Posh Boutique. This dress came all the way from London. I’ve forgotten how beautiful and elegant a simple dress can make one feel. -When are you coming to Amsterdam? Hopefully soon. The whole city seems incredibly inviting that I have to make a trip soon! -How would you describe your fashion? Clean and masculine. I feel that dresses are a little overrated and that more women should grow a pair and rock HIS stuff because we actually wear them better ;). I keep things clean as well. I can’t leave ripped jeans just that. I would pair it with a tailored button up top. – If you had to spend 5 years in jail, what would you finally have time for? 5 years is a long time. I already have a good amount of time in my hands but I would probably think of some ways to start my own cosmetic or clothing line and have someone run it for me while I am in jail until I get out. -Did you ever consider your career to go down this route when you were younger? I am still undecided about what you want to do but you inspire me so much and have really helped me shape the love I have for fashion. No. I wanted to be Pocahontas when I was 4 years old, and all I could remember was how that was always corrected into ” Be a Doctor.” Slowly as I grew older and realized Pocahontas was just not happening, I aimed to become someone in the fashion industry just like my mother. I did not think I was going to be where I am now when I was 4, but I had a good feeling…

1. Navy Blue is your new best friend. Navy is the new black. Kill fall fabulously with all things navy. 2. Stand by the mantra of having two statement pieces in a single outfit. The louder the better ~ in ways of class of course. 3. Just because you are in the business of blogging does not mean you forget about your character and culture. Leave egos at the door. Stay respectful, collaborative, curious and open minded. Be kind to the people you meet along your way up . You will meet them again when you visit downtown. As a friend has mentioned once, ” Change the game, don’t let the game change you.” Amaze September and she will amaze you right back.

Make up changes your mindset. The power in lipstick ~ one smear and you are ready to face the world with open arms. The right heels and you’re a new woman ready to take on what life gives off. Then there are jeans: The perfect pair worn and I feel unattainable and unstoppable. Dressing up has become a source of power to me. To the public’s naked eye, it may seem strange that at 9 a.m. in the brittle day light, the world half asleep and literally half the earth still dozed off, here you are in a full outfit, dashed in heels, rouge lipstick and your bright orange Birkin tote. To the public’s naked eye the burning question of : “Who is this girl dressing up for, to impress at 9 am” , is inevitable. Nobody. Not for him and most definitely not for the other girls. If women felt the need to dress for male’s attention, heck we might as well not wear a thing! If it were for other women, no woman is going to ever get it right then , is she ? The power of an outfit it much more powerful than you think. A ton of you will agree. Then there will be a few handful that will subtly laugh at this remark. But these are the same handful that will test this theory out first chance they get tomorrow morning. But let’s focus. An outfit makes you feel like you are yourself. It makes you feel focused. Glorious. A risk taker out ready to take on the day’s punches. Rock the outfits ( the crazier, the better. forget the rules.) Life serves the risk takers. Stay Bold Loves!
