Son Jung Wan- F/W 2018

One of my favorite designers to follow during NYFW has to be Son Jung Wan. I went to one of her shows a few seasons back and I was so delighted to get an invite to her show this season.

Her show this season (F/W 2018) was all about bright and bold colors and mixing fabrics (from silk, to denim, to velvet, to fur). I personally loved the amazing outerwear and all of the embellished pants. I know I'm normally a dress girl...but maybe next season I'll be rocking some serious bell bottoms.

Here are some of my favorite looks from the show...

Lusting for Leather

A little bit of leather goes a long way. Don't you agree?

dress- Michael Kors, tights- Express, studded loafers- Zara

I have to say, I'm kind of obsessed with this dress. It's the perfect little black dress to wear to work or an event.I love the chain neckline detail too. This little added touch is great because you don't have to worry about adding any jewelry.

What style LBD is in your wardrobe???

Fox in a Box by Hard Candy

One thing I always have in my makeup drawer is a good bronzer. A hint of golden color on my cheeks adds so much to my every day look. Also, when you are as pale as I am a touch of color goes a long way!

My friends at Hard Candy sent over some of their new scented marbleized baked powders called Fox in a Box (available at Walmart, $7) for me to try. I honestly don't know which one I love most. They give a great golden color and smell amazing!

This formula delivers multi dimensional yet sheer and buildable color. This gives you a natural and healthy glow. Also, with scents like chocolate, peach, and pina colada you'll have a hard time picking your favorite!

Do you love bronzers as much as I do? Be sure to give these a try!

Spotty Dotty

I don't know about you, but polka dots are my weakness. Seriously guys...I cannot have enough of them!!!

polka dot dress- Express, tights- ASOS, studded loafers- Zara, tote bag- Brooklyn Industries (similar but in different colors), pom pom hat- Grace Hats, gloves- Adrienne Vittadini

And in my mind there is nothing like pairing a classic print with some bold accessories to really make the look pop. Even though red isn't my favorite color (can you believe that!?!), it actually is one of my favorite colors to wear. It looks good with just about everything...and with a polka dot print it is so timeless.

What is your favorite print to wear? Are you always seen in spots or wearing stripes? Do you love busy patterns or keep it simple in solids?

I Heart NYC

As many of you know I have lived in NYC for quite some time. Chris and I even moved away for a few years and moved back. I thought it would be fun to tell you my top ten favorite things to do in NYC.

sweater- J.Crew, jeans- Highline Collective available at Lord & Taylor, booties- ASOS

1. The best food you can imagine. Also, any food you can imagine!

2. Walking along the waterfront in Brooklyn and overlooking the Manhattan skyline.

3. All the fun events! For instance, next weekend I'm going to a croissant tasting event with my friend Rachel. I mean, where else do you get to do fun and random stuff like that?

4. Sample sales! These are always going on (and typically a lot of them happen near my office in Midtown) and you can get the most amazing deals. If you haven't been to one before you gotta check one out!

5. NYC has amazing coffee shops. I was talking to a friend over the holidays when we were both back home visiting our parents and we said that coffee culture is definitely something our hometown is lacking. Here in NYC you can find some seriously amazing spots for a caffeine fix.

6. Dog parks are the best. They are definitely one of Rocko's favorite places in the city. We spend a lot of our time there during the spring and summer.

7. New York Fashion Week is one of the perks about living here. I can attend events and shows as they fit into my schedule which is great. I cannot wait for NYFW next month!

8. You might not think that farmer's markets in a city are any good...but they are so amazing!

9. As much as I hate the subway sometimes, easy access to public transportation is great. It gets you where you want to be super fast (when there aren't delays that is!).

10. THE CULTURE!!! On any given day I can go to a museum or see a Broadway show or soak up some local history.

What do you love most about NYC?!?!
