Tangerines & Fedoras on Day 2 at Fashion Week

My friends at Artistry beauty invited me to NY to attend a few runway shows, among them the J. Mendel show, which I'll recap later, but in the meantime, this is what I wore to the packed out auditorium. I decided to channel my clairvoyant spirit and wear a tangerine dress. Sure enough, the show was replete with flowy gowns and ensembles in the same hue. I had no idea the color was the star in their collection. I fit right in. Only this dress is not the most flattering. But, for a mere $13 at Macy's (80% off summer sale), I'm not complaining. And I love the pockets. The texture and weigh are great and the craftsmanship is lovely; just not the best cut for my body type. 

Thankfully the fedora, which is my favorite summer one and my new, braided handle bag (and I wish you could see the dramatic tassel) were my highlights! Love this new bag! It's small in capacity with a buttery leather but definitely makes a statement. I defaulted to my classic "go-with-everything" strappy pumps by L.A.M.B. 

Another fashion blogger friend and I enjoyed the show so much, we decided to put on a little show for onlookers leaving the Lincoln Center. This is what we captured! Thankfully, it was a stunning in Manhattan. Everything about that day was perfect.

I haven't had a nil moment to post about my street, daily looks... Life is moving along in a great direction, leaving little time to even to stop and be photographed in detail. Unless of course it's a planned and work-related photo shoot. 

Of course, that doesn't mean that when a camera man is around, I jump at getting a pic or two, especially if the outfit is cute. 

I've been in and out of the music industry for about 7 years now and an opportunity to be back in the scene gets me giddy. I miss the days of touring overseas, singing on international stages, hopping on the bus and driving half a day to our next venue... 

So when I got an invite to the premiere party for former group artists, now gone solo, I was all in it. However, I was attending a new apparel line launch a few hours prior and dressed for that occasion, not a swanky, somewhat B-list star studded music event. It worked out that I was dressed in part for the latter. Actually, after looking at the pics, I love how the lighting of the club venue went uber well with my ensemble! Surely, if it were the only event I were going to, I would have opted for something more evening appropriate, but I was comfy and that's all that mattered. Plus, my Minnie Mouse shirt just caused so attention and I felt like I was a brown version of Carrie Bradshaw (b/c we all do remember her Micky Mouse shirt!) 

Sometimes, it's just about that [comfort] and nothing else. I wasn't even at the premiere long enough to see the artist... but that's how things go at these industry events. The artist always, always makes a fashionably late appearance!
