Elaine Turner Store Opening

March 17, 2014

I recently had the pleasure of attending accessories designer, Elaine Turner’s Store Opening Celebration on Madison Avenue, which is her first New York boutique. The party was hosted by Purses and Pursenalities, and 10% of the proceeds from the party went to the Madison Square Boys’ & Girls’ Club. The Texas based designer creates gorgeous handbags, shoes, and jewelry. Her collection showcases beautiful styles, full of color and textured fabrics. The moment I walked in the store, I understood the direction of the brand. The brilliant color and fun, flirty accessories targets the adventurous woman who expresses her zest for life through her personal style.

Runway Recap: New York Fashion Week FW14

February 19, 2014

New York Fashion Week, Fall Winter 2014 season has officially come to a close. We had a busy week, covering runway shows, attending fashion events, and parties. Fashion Week is my absolute favorite time of year. The creation and production of each show always amazes me. I truly admire the designers in my industry and the collections they create each season. As fashion week comes to an end, these designers further ignite my passion to design and create my own jewelry collection. For me, each show is a story with a theme and a backdrop. The collections are coordinated with color palettes, prints, silhouettes, and coordinated with hair and makeup to complete each look.

Snow Day in NYC

January 6, 2014

I woke up Friday morning to a snowstorm in NYC! The ground was covered in beautiful, white, powdery snow. I instantly felt like a child again. My heart was racing. What was I going to do with my free fun day? There’s only so much eating and shopping you can do in NYC, and while I love doing both, I wanted this day to be fun and adventurous. I grabbed my coat, and headed out to play in snowy Central Park.

July 11, 2013

While attending New York designer, Von Vonni’s Rooftop Event, I was introduced to one of his most popular styles, the Transformer Dress. Von helped me choose a gorgeous Sky Blue dress, which I couldn’t wait to try. The fabric drapes beautifully and is flattering on any figure. The dress can be worn multiple ways, and the color selection is beautiful. It was tough to pick my favorite. This dress is perfect for a special occasion or a night out on the town. It transforms into a lovely daytime dress as well.
