“May you always be the one who notices the little things that make the light pour through,

and may they always remind you there is more to life and there is more to you”

– Morgan Harper Nichols

Happy Friday!! This past week wasn’t as eventful as last week but it was still filled with learning experiences and another Insta-worthy fun-house. Last Saturday I attended the Victory Cup— an all day event at Governors Island with 3 polo matches and lots of mingling. We had a great time but would say the day took a tool on everyone. We got the Governors Island around 10am while it was still raining. I am assuming because of the storm earlier that day they postponed the first match because it didn’t start until 12:30-1pm. By that time the sun had come out and it was hotter than anything. It started to become miserable, but I love polo so it was worth looking like I jumped in a pool to watch pretty horses run by me. My friends and I watched the matches from the VIP section, which I was grateful for because of the heat. Personally I don’t particularly like to be in the sun when it’s that hot and I HATE being in a huge crowd when I feel sticky, sweaty, and gross. The Golden Mallot and the General Admission sections were jammed packed and the VIP section was a little bit more breathable. Since it was so freaking hot I, and everyone else who had one, was grateful for their umbrella. I brought mine because of the rain which I ended up using to shield the sun. I felt like Downton Abbey when the women watched Cricket. We ended up leaving around 3:30/4pm at the end of the 2nd match. The entire day’s events ended at 8pm… there was no way I would of have lasted.

With over 4 years of blogging I’d like to think I know a thing or two about this industry. Even though I have been an influencer for a few years the industry keeps changing so I am constantly learning new things (hello IGTV). Do I have this down to perfection? Not at all; I still make lots of mistakes, still trying to grow, still figuring out SEO, still learning new social media features, still trying to push myself creatively. I don’t think it ever ends and I don’t want the learning experience to end. What I can give advice on is how to start a blog. This is the question I get from most people who email me or DM. I thought I would share a few tips and advice I would give someone asking questions through email. The first thing I always say is to just start, who cares if it looks ugly. Start and grow from there.

Although the fall season is not for another month we all know the temperature is going to stay warm for a lot longer. Right now brands are in a transition from their summer collection to the fall collection. Styles you are currently seeing as new arrivals are their pre-fall collection. Pre-fall are items you can wear in the summer that carry over into the crisp season. Be it a long sleeve wrapped dress or a sleeveless sweater tank, these are the items will get you through the warm days of fall.

It may seem a little early to some of you to already be talking about New York Fashion Week. It is a month away and talking about Spring ’19 styles when Fall ’18 trends have barely graced us is a little too early to grasp. Well for those of us who attend NYFW and those that are behind the scene, fashion week starts much earlier. I have already started to send out my request to brands in hopes to attend their show/presentation, and I have already started planning on what I want to wear. On top of my list of outfits: this blazer dress from Theory.
