If you are in New York tomorrow please check out this event! My friend put this together (and can you tell I added a few of my watercolor strokes to the flyer!)  with Author Elizabeth Cline and her new book Over-Dressed: The Shockingly high cost of cheap living.

BlogLovin Awards

2.28.2012

Oh how much fun is dressing up!  I was especially excited to do it this night to support my fellow bloggers for the BlogLovin Awards. I’m mostly all about the color, but I decided to switch things up a bit and wear all black!  I felt super glamorous in this black sequined Marti dress!  Marti is known for her lux jersey pieces…..and this little gem was defintely lux! To go along with the glammed up look my dear Stylist friend Laura Garwasiuck came by and gave me a fab hair-do!

Kmart + Sophomore Launch!

2.10.2012

Who’s not a fan of Kmart….it’s a childhood favorite, at least of mine 🙂  And must i say a reliable source for a girl on the go here in Manhattan! Especially now that it is Fashion Week here in New York….so it only makes sense that they come up with this limited edition t-shirt that captures the ‘frenzy of fashion week’.   They paired up with Sophomore’s Chrissie Miller to create this #fashionweekproblems tee! Love!

me with the Kmart + Sophomore collab tee!

Love this yarn K with instagram photos inside!
