There are a few things that make fall so wonderful– fall foliage, big sweaters, Hocus Pocus, pumpkin flavor, cooler temps, and wearing Barbour jackets. As much as I love to wear my Barbour jacket, I, even more so, swoon over seeing men run around the city in the classic jacket. #twinsies.

Fashion Week isn’t all about parties, clothes, champagne, shopping, and ridiculously chic people. No, us bloggers received a little education at the ShopStyle’s Social House about the combining of fashion and technology. What I eagerly learned about is a new app called Emoticode. But before I start using tech and fashion lingo and completely confuse you (mom), let me break it down and describe to you in this simple way: shop my outfits through emoji’s. Now I know you are curious…. and no this isn’t me creating a Lizzie McGuire sized avatar of me in different outfits. You get the real me, in real clothes– which I know is probably not as cool as Lizzie. I apologize.

Fashion week has sadly come and gone. It was a wonderful week full of fashion, parties, meeting new people, seeing old friends, and exploring the city I love so much. It has always been a dream of mine to attend New York Fashion Week. I have attended parties and events here and there throughout the years, but never a full week of runway shows, presentations, etc. I can honestly say I caught the fashion week bug and can not wait until February– I even hope to attend Paris Fashion Week someday! What can I say? I am obsessed!
J.Crew’s Spring Show ’17 was held this past Sunday during Fashion Week. And like many of you I kept refreshing my Instagram for updates and sneak peeks at the spring collection. J.Crew is one brand that I always look forward to seeing during Fashion Week. Not only because it is my favorite brand, but because I love how natural the models look and how they are perfectly styled. One thing they did this year that I really admire is using real people to model the collection–staffers, family, and friends in different race, age and size. Real people wearing real clothes, just like you and me.
