New York Fashion Week is less than a month away! Request have been sent out and invitations are starting to roll in. Now it is time to really narrow down your look. NYFW is the time when the worlds most fashionable people gathered in hopes that one of the middle age men outside of the shows takes your picture and sells it to Vogue or Fashionista. It is the time when you need to up your fashion game while you take a seat on the runaway wearing your elevated style. What I love about NYFW is that any goes. You will have girls show up in jeans and a graphic tee sitting next to a girl in a cocktail dress. You will see out- there outfits that draws everyones attention, and ones that fall under the radar with their minimalist look.

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.
