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!

Maybelline Master Class

During NYFW I attended a Maybelline Masterclass featuring Desi Perkins & Katy DeGroot featuring their BFF Bundle of recommended makeup products. This class & interview took place at the Samsung store in meatpacking and wow was that a beautiful location and perfect space! V & I were VIP and were able to sit at the seated section below and met other bloggers and beauty influencers in our section. The Beauty Duo are not only BFFs in real life but they are also beyond gorgeous and shared their tips and tricks on how to apply makeup! I learned about contouring the cupids bow between your lips and nose as well as how important highlighter is! Hello Game changing beauty hacks! They also gifted products from there beauty bundle, and let me say, it all went on very smoothly and I am obsessed with the highlighter and eyeshadow palette. The beauty bundle is available at Amazon for $25.99 and they have the items that both Desi & Katy recommend and live by.

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.

NYFW - SuitSupply

2/5/18 

Today SuitSupply had their Fall/Winter 2018 Fashion Presentation at Cadillac House in NYC and it was a great introduction to the new collection. SuitSupply is an European men's fashion brand known for expert tailoring and detail. This collection features a lot of earth toned rich fabrics and colors. Mixed fabrication was used such as moleskin, baby alpaca, and flannel creating a luxe effect. When you walked through the door you were greeted with a collection of guys and pinks.  Some of my favorite looks are the stone grey suiting with pink accents creating a timeless suit. The next subsection was a blend of rich emerald and army green highlights. The last section was a classic brown and blue combination of different tailored pieces. I loved the styling that each look brought. There was the perfect balance of formal dressing and casual charm. I am looking forward to seeing these looks come to life off the runway and on men throughout the streets of New York! 

How to Plan a Launch Party

I love a good party but planning one is sometimes very stressful! I want to share my tips and tricks for planning a successful and fun launch party!

Before I started planning I made a list of goals - What am I trying to accomplish from the party? Who do I want the target audience to be? Will there be food? Will there be entertainment? What is my budget? 

All of the above questions helped determine what I was in for and what I wanted! For me the biggest thing was I wanted to spread the news about my Blog Launch! I wanted to create a night of fun and buzz about my blog and instagram handle @Fashionably_full . I also wanted to celebrate all of the hard work that has gone into what I have done so far! So I thought of this night in two ways 1. Grow my following & 2. Celebrate my achievements! 

I wanted to do something more intimate so invited my closest friends for a dinner party. Since I am still paying for everything out of pocket (( Any sponsors out there that want to collaborate!??)) I was very mindful about budget.

The location was also very important to me! I wanted the space to be inspiring! I used a party room in my building which was able to fit 20 of my friends on a long table and I purchased fancy plastic table settings in a gold & pink tones in order to keep the room themed. 

Since I was having dinner I had to plan out food - I love sushi and figured that would be an exciting and fun meal that would not need any prep work (to be heated etc) and would be easy to serve for a large group. Since it was sushi I went to party city and thought of creative ways to set the table. 

For table decorations I wanted something classic - I purchased Succulents and used them to line the table and each guest was able to bring one home! These were perfect as they served as party favors and decorations   

Dessert were an assortment of cookies and cake truffles from Momofuku Milk Bar, I chose this since they are finger food and did not require any additional cutlery 

Lastly Photo Booth! I found IllumiFoto off of the knot's website and hired them to come to the venue and serve as a Photo Booth. This was perfect and definitely a highlight of the party. This also accomplished one of my goals of generating buzz. All of my guests loved the pictures and posted the to their own social media accounts generating interest about my blog and insta! Also I love how festive and fun my friends are so it was incredible to scroll through all the photos at the end of the night and post some of my favs! 

Since I had a limited budget I selected the things that really were important to me and invested there - Food & Photos were were the majority of the money went while planning. I also asked all of the guests to bring a bottle of wine which helped in the cost of drinks. 

I must say the launch was everything I wanted and I am so excited to see this Blog really take off!! 

Perrier Pop Up Store NYC 7.13.17

I love to take advantage of all the amazing things happening in NYC. One event I came across was the very bubbly Perrier Pop Up store in Soho to celebrate the launch of new Perrier Flavors. The Perrier Flavor Studio was awesome! It was decked out with a full bar of "mocktails" where you we able to try all of the new delicious flavors. The event included great music, an instagram worthy ball pit, a station where you got to design and customize a limited edition Perrier tote bag, and tons of photo perfect moments.
