“Life is not always a smooth ride. Landscapes change, people come in and out, obstacles appear and disrupt the planned itinerary, but one thing you know for sure is that you will always have yourself.”

-Diane von Furstenberg

Happy Friday!! Last night was the start of fashion week for me with a show by Katie Gallagher and Redken’s NYFW kick off party. The show was nice and the party was fun! The cocktail party was held at Mr. Purple down in the Lower East Side. There was a beautiful view of the city skyline and Redken’s had tasty hor d’oeuvres and lots of prosecco. The perfect evening!

For me, the color that grabs my attention and draws me in, my go-to color, will always be blue.  It was my grandfather’s favorite color, and we both had/have blue eyes, so it became my favorite color. Blue is also the color, I feel,  that looks the best on me. Sure I love to wear white, black, and pink a lot, but blue will always be my first choice.  You can wear blue all year round and it goes with everything. It even looks amazing as decor accents in your house. Now that we have finally entered into the warm weather seasons (thank god!), I am looking to add more spring-like blues to my wardrobe. This dress is HIGH on my must have list, as well as this sweater, and these heels.

Yesterday I was flipping through the spring J.Crew style guide, which by the way is pretty good–feels like the old J.Crew is coming back!! Anyway, while I was happily checking off the items that I want to purchase, I noticed a lot of the items I liked came in yellow. Yellow is a color I like and have an item or two in, but don’t always go for. Being blonde with pale skin, sometimes it can wash me out a little, but it still won’t stop me from looking like a high lighter. In the J.Crew catalog, I was immediately drawn to this dress with its pretty floral print and easy fit. I hope it looks just as pretty in person! I also thought these earrings or this necklace would be a fun statement piece to have! A pop of color to add to any outfit. And how darling is this swim suit? It’s a little retro and super cute!
