Happy Friday! New York Fashion Week has officially begun! It doesn’t feel like it is NYFW. Winter fashion week is much more relaxed than the one in September. Still, even after getting invites and already attending a preview and a presentation, it doesn’t feel like it’s fashion week. Maybe it is because I went into it knowing I didn’t want to attend as many shows as I normally would. It may also be because I didn’t do my normal preparation for the week– nails and hair done, planning/buying outfits. Although it does not feel like its NYFW, I am still excited for the shows I am going to!

Happy Friday!! Things are really starting to pick back up with lots of fun events and collaborations on the horizon. Plus with NYFW just around the corner, I am busy preparing and creating content. As of now my plan for NYFW is to sorta take a break from all of the madness, only going to a few shows and no events. I love fashion week– more than most bloggers and less than others. Some bloggers are completely over it and find that it no longer serves a purpose for their blog. Others thrive on fashion week, running from show to show. For me, fashion week is still a privilege that I am very grateful for. Without blogging, I know that I would most likely never be invited. I still find the joy and love of attending, seeing models walk down the runway wearing gorgeous clothing. What I am over is killing myself to go to everything, getting upset if I am not invited to certain parties or shows, and forcing myself to go to shows that I do not care about– only to get content. I want to focus on quality not quantity this year in everything I do. And this includes NYFW.

Happy Friday!! I am excited it is finally Friday as I have fun plans this weekend. A few of my fitness friends (women I have met through working out) and I are attending workouts together this weekend and then heading to brunch both Saturday and Sunday. We are going to AK Dance taught by our friend Lindsay Howe and Precision Run taught by our other friend Sarah Grooms. It is going to be a fun weekend filled with friends, mimosas, and some serious sweat sessions!
