Amsterdam Travel in Style

The Looks:

The weather in Amsterdam was very chilly with on and off rain. I tried my best to pack light since I had a feeling I would do some shopping; however, I did not pack light enough! The shopping in Amsterdam was amazing! Vee & I also planned the trip perfectly when all of the stores would be on sale allowing for some major discounted ticket prices. We walked all around the area near our hotel and found hidden gems as well as some mainstream shops such.

West Coast Road Trip Looks

I was very inspired by the wild Wild West when packing for my West Coast road trip. I searched for fabrics that were inspired by nature in autumnal color palettes.

I am loving animal print this season, especially tonal snake skin & leopard print. Since these prints are sometimes bold, I love pairing them with toned down pieces so the patterns really pop.

NYFW: Jonathan Simkhai

Jonathan Simkhai 

 Jonathan Simkhai was an amazing presentation!  This was one of my favorite collections that I saw this season.  Jonathan Simkhai brand is a luxury ready –to-wear line for the confident woman. There was a romantic edge to every piece that matched well with the linear lines and silhouettes.  I was obsessed with almost every piece of the collection and would totally rock the looks. I loved the lace and details on the dresses. I also loved the color schemes of white with a western edge a trend that I am really looking forward to wearing this season.

Red x White & Blue

I love a good reason to dress for an occasion!
 July 4th is no exception

Red x White x Blue is very festive & patriotic. There are many ways to mix these three colors to create the perfect holiday outfit and when worn together the outfit becomes very festive. 

I paired denim cut offs with a red long sleeve blouse and white sneakers to cover all of the colors!

Robe Jackets

What is a a Robe Jacket? ((might not be the actual name)) but to me they are jackets that resemble robes since they do not have any zippers or buttons and they way they remain closed is with a tie. 

I purchased one that I am currently loving at Zara and it is perfect for this time a yea because it is still lightweight and the pattern is so fun. The one i'm currently styling has some black in it but the main colors are periwinkle & ashy purple. Since this piece is the focal point of my look I styled it with an all black underpinnings that way the robe jacket could really pop!

NYFW- Leanne Marshall

/

One of my favorite shows that I saw this week was Leanne Marshall. I absolutely loved her collection of bright, vibrant and beautiful gowns. Each one that came out was more stunning than the one before. I loved how the colors popped on all of the models. The girly and flirty silhouettes explored a scalloped motif, different necklines and different fabric illusions.  Safe to say I am very looking forward to this collection coming to life next season! 

NYFW - Enny Luap

/

Enny Luap was an amazing show that featured wear now clothing for the modern & sophisticated girl. Each look was tailored and perfectly styled with well put together hair, makeup and accessories. The loos ranged from a variety of dresses, pencil skirts & more casual denim looks. The easy and totally wearable dresses were my favorite and I am looking forward to seeing more from this designer in the future! 

SIMPLY - NYC Fashion & Beauty Conference 2018

/

Saturday 2/10 felt like a Marathon day but one of the events that I really enjoyed attending was the Simply NYC Fashion & Beauty Conference Powered by NYLON. There were different stations from flower crowns and hair dos from Wen beauty, Marc Fischer shoes, Minigrown treats, a Braid bar and more! The first thing I did was check out the flower crown station. I was wearing a flirty & punk look featuring my favorite red wrap dress with flowers and combat boots. I thought the flower crown worked on the flirty & girly aspect of my look and I loved getting my hair done to compliment the crown! The station also had a Mir Mir photo booth which was awesome and a decorated swing - perfect for instagram worthy photos. 

The next station was Marc Fischer shoes! I loved seeing the new collection that are available online and checked out the newest trends. Minigrown, a noodle bar, was also there giving away juice samples and I am really looking forward to trying their noodles next time I pass one around the city. 

I also checked out the Rodial beauty station and had the chance to meet the gorgeous Maria Hatzistefanis the Founder & CEO of Rodial Beauty. Her beauty products were amazing to try and she was so sweet to talk to. Another cool station they had was the You Cam Makeup App station. This app which you an download for free on your phone uses the latest technology to apply beauty virtually to your face allowing the user to then purchase the products that are being "virtually" tried on. The technology was really cool and I had so much fun giving myself a crazy lip, smoky eye and pink hair! 

Lastly at the end of the event I checked out the Glam App station and got a super cool braid from the braid bar! Overall the day was so fun and I loved checking out the conference. 

NYFW - TRESemmé Studios

/

I am most definitely a hair girl and I love getting my hair done professionally! I usually do not straighten or use any high heat on my hair, when styling it daily, so it is always special when I have a professional's help to style it. I like to consider my hair to be healthy and since it is on the longer side I love experimenting with different looks! I am not shy to an up do or a fun wave or braid! I am also a huge fan of TRESemmé products as I use the Shampoo & Conditioner in my shower as well as their hairspray. The TRESemmé pop up at Spring Studios was the perfect in between show treat! I was able to make an appointment and saw an amazing stylist to recreate a hair trend that I am currently loving right now! I did a braided mohawk like, style that only braided the center top portion of my hair and let the rest of it down and curled! Safe to say I love how this came out and am definitely going to try to re-create this at home! 

 

NYFW - DAN LIU

/

The Dan Liu show was a spectacular show at Spring Studios on Saturday 2/10. This show titled "the spy who loved me" displayed beautiful clothing all in the theme of mystery and romance. The music fit the looks perfectly as the looks were styled with glasses from Nectar Sunglasses fitting into the allure of mystery. The 36 looks featured contemporary pieces for a variety of different women and yet was entirely cohesive. I really enjoyed the looks and the entire vibe of the show. There were a few dresses I was definitely eyeing as they walked down the runway! I loved the pink tones as well as the sillohettes .

NYFW - Oxford Fashion Studio Group Show

/

Another show that I attended was the Oxford Fashion Studio show featuring a group of designers. I was able to watch the Rachel Pollack & Tadazzleme shows and they both were great! Rachel Pollack was stylish and sexy evening wear featuring deep V necks and long gowns. Tadazzleme featured amazing shoes in a wide variety from booties, heels & sandals. Veronica, from In Love & Lace and I were seated in the first row which was also a treat!

NYFW - 2/8/18

NYFW is such a fun and busy time!! I linked up with my BFF Veronica from @in_loveandlace and we reached out to a bunch of different shows and events and luckily have a very busy weekend ahead of us! Not only was the day amazing but it was so fun, especially having my BFF run around the city with me. 

Our first stop was House of the Creative featuring Kingsny and Khoman Room. This presentation was in Soho and the vibe was street and cool.  The clothing featured different appliques and embroidery as well as complementary color tones in mustard and blacks. 

The next presentation was Sylvian Hyde down in financial district. This fashion  presentation featured a range of clothing and a great vibe! There were different tailored looks as well as street looks all styled with an edge. The collection had shorts, outerwear, denim, and more casual pieces, all with a clear point of view.

Next we checked out Style Fashion Week events at Cipriani and we will be back again later in the weekend.

Lastly we checked out the Shoe Box party on the Upper East Side and it was so fun! The store was very cute with clothing, shoes and accessories. I already picked out a couple pairs of shoes that I am dying to go back and buy! Everything there was on trend and I definitely recommend checking the store out.
