Hey everyone!
If you've been following my blog for some time, you know that I attend Red Light PR's bi-annual press preview event every year. Each time, I share some new brands that I discovered and love at the event, as well as some favorites from brands that I know and love. In today's post, I'll only be sharing the brands that are new to me and some of the pieces in their collection that I really liked. (CLICK COMMENT TO READ MORE)

Hey everyone!
In Saturday's post I mentioned that I would be attending a show at Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week (NYFW) on Sunday. It was presented by FTL Moda and I've attended their shows in the past and have always enjoyed and this one did not disappoint! However, this was my first time at a Mercedes Benz show (aka a tent show) at Lincoln Center, so I was pretty excited and I'm even more excited to share the experience with all of you, especially since this show had an amazing message, one that expressed that true fashion has no limits nor boundaries and you'll understand more of this concept as you scroll through the photos below. I was unable to snap more shots as I would've liked, but nonetheless, I hope the one's I was able to capture touch you both inspirationally and creatively.
COAT: Baby Phat (super old!) // BLOUSE: New York & Company // PANTS: Missguided // SHOES: BCBGeneration (Marshalls) // CLUTCH: Marshalls
I decided to go for a more glam look with a classic feel, which I felt the satin like appearance of the pants and blouse gave, combined with the white fur coat. I also decided to stick with a more feminine color palette, using white, cream, and pastel pink. What do you think of the look?
With lots of love,
Hello my loves,
Welcome back! So last night, I had the opportunity to attend an event hosted by RedLight PR and Satya Jewelry, for the debut of their Spring 2015 collection! It was my first time hearing of the line and I'm so excited to share some of my favorites with you, as well as the mantra behind this comprehensive brand. Satya means "truth" in Sanskrit, a classical Indian language. This name was given to Satya, one of the designers of the jewelry line, her co-creator is Beth, after the completion of an intensive 30 day yoga training in the Bahamas. Upon receiving her "spiritual name", she called her friend, Beth, and shared how she had a desire to create a jewelry line that would encompass all believed truths, inspired by her new name. Beth was astounded, as she had just returned from a sabbatical in Thailand, and was excited for this new journey and collaboration, in which Satya Jewelry was birthed.
I had the pleasure of speaking with Satya and she shared the overall concept of the jewelry line. Each jewelry piece uses authentic semi-precious stones and now precious, with the launch of the fine jewelry collection, which contains diamonds and 14k gold, gorgeous! For inspiration, Satya often travels to India, mainly the southern region, where she learns various healing properties of stones derived from the earth and the impact they have on the mind and body from the natives. One thing that she mentioned, which sparked my interest, mainly because of my neuroscience background, was that in the area of India she travels, the don't have psychiatrists, in fact, they don't know what that is! Instead, they use stones to heal various ailments. I felt this to be quite amazing. I mean, I am a proponent for holistic medicine because I've read and heard of how it is indeed life changing and practically every disease can be reversed, as well as prevented. During that conversation, I pointed out that I was wearing an authentic Turquoise ring and she exclaimed how Turquoise is the stone to be worn when you're not feeling too well in strength, again, I found that quite interesting!
Now that I've given you a brief background behind Satya, I can share some of my favorite pieces from the spring collection. You'll notice a few recurring styles, which are tassels and layers. Tassels are one of this spring's huge trends, interesting enough, it's also a classic, one that reads chic and sophisticated in my book! Another classic theme, as mentioned, are the layered necklaces. This is something that I'm starting to get more in to myself. After purging my closet, as mentioned in this week's video (HERE), I began to think more classics and this certainly translates into jewelry. Who doesn't like to own something that she knows would go with practically everything in her wardrobe, that can be matched or combined, for years to come? In fact, Satya seeks to create pieces that "are destined to become heirlooms." Layering or stacking jewelry is a fun way to add interest to your look, while keeping your it chic. Plus, they're always great conversation starters ;)

Hey Girls,
So in yesterday's post, I mentioned that I was heading to an event, which was for New York fashion blogger, Danielle Bernstein, of We Wore What private launch party for her jewelry collaboration with TopShop! The name of the line is Freedom Found and is inspired by her visit to Istanbul. For the collection, she spent hours scouring through the city's famous Grand Bazaar for one of a kind pieces that would be sold as her hand picked suggestions, and what would be referred to as apart of her individual collection. What I personally love about the pieces is that they can be worn in a variety of ways and can help add a special element, culture, and uniqueness to any outfit. Danielle's look at the event was more of a rocker chic vibe, however, they can easily be worn in a more boho chic way, which she herself said was how she envisioned many would wear her pieces, while attending spring and summer festivals, such as the legendary Coachella, in a recent interview with Top Shop. Depending on your personal style and taste, each piece can be worn on its own or stacked, as well as with a fun outfit or with a more simple look, allowing for the piece(s) to be the center focus.
