Hello Friday! I hope you’re all ready for weekend!!! 

Printed pants……..are a huge trend right now. If your like me and love to wear black or dark colored pants…..printed pants are a way to mix it up!!!! I love how printed pants are fun, can be dressed up or down depending on where you’re wearing them out to brunch or night birthday party. You can find loose fit almost like pajama like pants, stretchy fit that you can wear under a dress. Honestly, you really can’t go wrong either way.

Happy Thursday!!! I’m in the process of making an accessories line of african chokers.  I was online one day trying to find a way to make a cool choker…well one you-tuber made one choker out of fabric. So I was like you know what I’m going to start making chokers with african fabric. The process is so simple, but if I’m going to mass produce to my followers and public. I’ll need the chokers to be made professionally. For now you guys get a sneak of what is to come of my brand APAR and FITS on ME. I’m excited to actually make something and collaborate with other bloggers on this brand as well. 

So choosing an outfit to go with my look was pretty simple. I realized I wanted all the colors to compliment my african choker. I was debating whether I should wear a black top or white top…I think the white looks better with the choker. I think the choker is such an ideal accessory to this look. It really gives a simple look a kick of fabulousness!!!

I wore this look two Sundays ago when I went to Asia Fashion Collection, 

As you see, it was Valentine’s Day I had to definitely represent with a whole red look ensemble. I literally was thinking what could I wear  for Valentines without looking like a red heart…hahahaha I went with all jean with accents of red to complete my look. 

Asian Fashion Collection was held at the Piers 59 Studio, the show was amazing of collaborative Asia Designers creating different pieces for their runway debut. What stood out was the textures and mixing the more modern look with sophisticated pieces. It was quiet unique the designers tastes still giving us fierce and edgy sitting at the edge of your seats wanting to see more!!!! Well maybe that was just me!?!?! I feel for the past couple of years, Asia Fashion Collection continues to Wow us but building a brand that started off as a project of collaborative designers now has evolved in clothing line.

Below are the photos from the Asian Fashion Collection show:

Loving the thrill of dressing up for #NYFW !!!! Finding what to wear for Fashion Week, can be nerve racking?!?! Once you realize what you want to wear vs. comfort…you can come up with some cool looks. I got this jacket and pant suit at H&M knew that I wanted to add edge with this look. I paired it with my metallic oxford and shiny sunnies to match. It was super cold in NYC, I added my vintage cobalt blue cape that kept me warm for a couple of hours. It’s still was a cool look that people would comment on how they loved my metallic shoes…Definitely going to NYC I would say wear comfortable shoes especially if your going to be walking around in the city. I see a lot of New York Fashion incorporating comfortable shoes with their looks…sometimes flats always wins!?!?!

What do you wear in NYC? 

See you next time!!!!

Anticipation of waiting for New York Fashion Week to start was all that I could think about for the past month and coming weeks. As Fashion Week started I had a full 3 day packed with shows back to back. Why was I so excited to see fashion shows…let me tell you fashion shows are amazing…Although I love the new trends and styles that come down the runway….most of time I’m looking at the attendees on “What They Wore” to fashion connections I could potentially make with fashion minded individuals like myself.

 

Now, Sunday I went to Vivienne Hu show..first off if you haven’t noticed many of the fashion shows for the second time in a row have been offsite. Which is amazing I want to see how the runway will look and Vivienne Hu didn’t disappoint. Her show was in a offsite location called the Artbeam Gallery, this gallery was very spacious and had the best lighting.  I loved that they took the time to put our names for our seat assignment. Which made it very personal, also Vivienne Hu teamed up with A to G lingerie each guest received a silk tie as a gift…I could totally use it as a scarf around my neck…

Vivienne Hu’s Collection was made up of separates and one pieces that range for the modern or edgy women. I liked that her pieces could be paired with different textures. Take for instances this jacket below, I adore this look, she had a simple puffy jacket and added faux fur to the collar and sleeves…can you say brilliant! 

I enjoyed that each piece was flattering depending on what style women you are, your go-to is wearing a wrapped dress, long maxi, coat, or definitely lace..No matter what style you prefer Vivienne was strategic in making a variety pieces that you can admire or wear! Lastly, she made pieces that were definitely funky but still having a sophisticated appeal!
