As I was prepping for New York Fashion Week, I couldn't help but think of Sunday Ibok. I know he would have come over to help me pick out outfits. I can only imagine he would have been there with me everyday at Lincoln Center, joining me in all the amazing street style people watching. And the fashion shows...I can only dream what it would have been like for us to have gone together and drool over all the runway looks. As much as I wish I could have had him at my side last week, I took moments during all the excitement to pause and picture him looking over me....and smiling.
I'm pretty sure he would have also said, "Hot shoes!"

I was so honored to be asked to host a street style video at New York Fashion Week for Loehmann's. They are relaunching their brand and wanted to be a part of all the fun that goes on during Fashion Week. I'll be honest, this was my first time hosting a video so beyond the obvious nerves, I had the hardest time figuring out what to wear?! After much thought, I went with this fitted faux leather dress with a high slit. A lot of people thought it was black but it's actually a really cool dark green color which is great for fall! I like to call it my Matrix dress. :) (insert husband laughing at me).
Okay, but how fabulous are these heels?! Definitely a statement shoe. I'm obsessed with these gems and excited to pair them with jeans soon.
I know what some of you might be thinking, that's her 3rd graphic tee this week?! Okay, you're right. I'll admit I'm borderline obsessed but this might have been one of my favorite outfits from NYFW. First of all this New York t-shirt makes me smile. It's 7 years old and I'm pretty sure I got it for $1 during the VH1 wardrobe sale from my days working in TV. And what better time to wear a NY shirt than during New York Fashion Week?! I love this white pleated midi skirt and didn't let the fact that it was September 9th stop me. Here's a tip for wearing white after Labor Day: Make sure to pair it with the right fall accessories, like a jacket and closed toe heels. This jean jacket is probably one of the best things I own. I'll give you three reasons why: 1) It's literally 10 years old (girls, a fitted denim jacket will never go out of style) 2) Wearing it over your shoulders gives you a very polished, modern look while still keeping things casual and 3) I created a new way to wear old articles of clothing! Woo-hoo! Complete this style with some fun heels and a sleek crossbody bag (btw this bag cost me $10 at Old Navy!! Score!)
