Runway Spotlight: SAKU NYC
I entered the Saku New York show partially exhausted and admittingly with minimal knowledge of the brand. Little did I know, the show would be one of the highlights of my NYFW 2017 experience.
This time around, I attended a couple of shows as a photographer rather than a guest. And for Saku, a photographer. Ten minutes late to the show photographer, unfortunately. As you can imagine, upon arrival, I stumbled out of my Lyft car like a tumbleweed, only to be greeted by a line as long as time. Luckily for me, a photographer's pass meant bye bye line.
Dressing NYFW- Tips to surviving New York winters
New York Fashion Week 2017 officially marks my third time visiting New York City during the brutal winter season. And after multiple visits and many, “I’m on the brink of frostbite” experiences, I’ve gotten extremely pro at layering for warmth. So on my blog today, I thought I’d share some of my tips and tricks for conquering the frigid temperates of New York winters.
I’m also sharing three outfits I wore to New York Fashion Week that kept me warm and stylish. This year was by far the best and busiest NYFW because I had the pleasure of working as a photographer for shows, doing back to back showroom collaborations, and media tastings.
My winter lookbook pt.1
On the blog today, I am sharing four cozy layering looks that’ll not only keep you stylish but warm.
Layering usually isn’t necessary for sunny California, but since it’s more like chilly California these days, I’m taking all opportunities to layer up. Also because I ate a lot during the winter time, so I like this whole layering thing.
Coats are my key piece to layering. My body type is more on the top heavy side so thick sweaters usually end up making me appear like a giant walking marshmallow. So, luckily long coats help tie the look together by elongating and slimming the figure
Secrets of Sin City
Why of course: “Secrets of Sin City” is about Las Vegas! Today on the blog, I’ll be sharing my tips and tricks on how to navigate The City of Sin. Vegas is a city I frequent often, so naturally, I picked up a couple of helpful tips to help you plan your trip. I also went to CES 2017 early January and wanted to share a couple of photos :)
Food Diaries-Seattle Editon
I strive to eat healthily and be as environmentally friendly as possible in my daily life. Therefore I love scouting out restaurants that both serve healthy options and aim to lower their carbon footprint. Homegrown Sandwiches is a recent foodie discovery that not only serves delicious, healthy eats but is committed to being environmentally responsible. I joke that they are the superhero of food because that is what it is! Check out their mission statement:
“We’re so often asked, “what’s a sustainable sandwich?” And we get it, on the surface, it’s just a sandwich! But we believe that something as simple as a sandwich can do big things in the world.
Dear Seattle,
The call of wanderlust is irresistible to me, whether a faraway destination or a neighboring state, I almost always surrender. Spontaneity and travel seem to be a package deal these days- like past trips, Seattle was an unexpected one. But I am so grateful and happy that I got the opportunity to squeeze in Seattle before the year’s demise.
I’ve loved many cities, but Seattle is one of the few I can almost envision living in. Weekly orca watching on the Puget Sound, Sunday strolls through Pike Place Market, Cafe crawls through Capitol Hill, it all sounds wondrous to me. There’s just something about Seattle that I find incredibly intriguing. I also had a phenomenal time hanging out with two bright, creative and talented individuals: Michelle and Jillian.
If you could invest in one thing from Burberry and one thing only, there are no doubts that it would be their classic heritage trench coat. The one pictured above is the: Kensington Mid-Length Heritage Trench Coat in Stone.
Every high-end brand has a specialty item that they are known for, a particular style, quality, or design aimed to withstand the test of time. Chanel is their iconic ladylike tweed jackets and their classic quilted flap bag. And Burberry, drum roll please-their classic trench coats.
