Fall fashion has arrived! Our days have been full of sunshine and surprisingly warm temperatures. After a quick manicure, pedicure, coffee date, and trip to Bloomingdales, I took advantage of the sunshine and met my husband for a picnic in Central Park.
This week, we had the pleasure of attending the Alex and Ani Spring/Summer 14 Collection Preview Event, which was held on the rooftop of the gorgeous Mondrian Soho hotel. Alex and Ani is a jewelry and accessories brand, which is rapidly growing in popularity. They are known for their necklaces, earrings, rings, and most of all, their beautiful bangles.
New York’s Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is the fashion industry’s chance showcase high fashion on the runways. Held at the tents of Lincoln Center, designers, celebs, stylists, and fashion bloggers deck themselves out, to attend the city’s celebration of style. With all of the shows, lounges, and parties to attend, I scrambled to have outfits prepared for every event.

This Labor Day weekend felt like our own New York stay-cation, as my husband and I celebrated our first anniversary together. We went to The Standard Grill for a delicious brunch, Le Bain for drinks, and topped off our day with a fancy dinner at The Nomad. I highly recommend it, if you’ve never been. The food is absolutely delicious.
It was a lovely evening on Martha’s Vineyard, and we decided to journey to Menemsha Beach, which is famous for its gorgeous sunsets. Ever since I was a child, we made a tradition of spending time at Menemsha Beach. The beach was just as I remembered it, with boats docked at the harbor, soft white sand, gentle ocean waves, and a cool breeze. We laid out our blankets, beach chairs, and unpacked the lobster rolls we picked up from the local shop. We opened a great bottle of wine, and toasted to the beautiful evening.
While vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard, we enjoyed the sunny weather and spent time at Lambert’s Cove Beach. The beach was a welcomed change from the Concrete Jungle, otherwise known as Manhattan.
Last week, I attended the Bob Mackie Launch Event at Screaming Mimi’s, a popular vintage clothing shop. The event was exciting and unique. I felt inspired by the clothing, sun glasses, jewelry and costumes from every decade. At the event, Mackie’s team launched their notebook collection with gorgeous sketches of his costumes. They are currently running a contest, “Give Me a Mackie,” to win a gorgeous ivory gown from Bob Mackie’s very first collection.
