NYFW : CRIV and Yuna Yang

    

Even though these photos were fun to shoot this post is especially emotional for me. Yesterday terrible news broke from my hometown in South Florida. The high school my brother attended and graduated from in 2010 experienced one of the 18 shootings of 2018. The news was gut-wrenching for me as a parent and a member of the South Florida community. 

It is so sad to me that this kind of evil exists in the world. Which is why it is so important that we talk to our children and peers about the importance of reporting something that doesn't seem "right". We want our children to feel safe when away from home. We want them to be able to go to school and learn in a healthy environment void of fear. 

The reason I chose to spotlight CRIV and Yuna Yang today is that we need some positivity in the world. This gorgeous Lush brand maxi is available at CRIV boutique in Uptown at the Metropolitan. This maxi dress is actually a romper and was the perfect look for a New York City Theatre show on Broadway. 

The designer I want to spotlight today from New York Fashion Week is Yuna Yang who made a name for herself in 2017 when she released a line inspired by the "Climate Change Crisis". She is a designer that uses her status for good. This year she took on the "Me Too" movement and titled this line "Love Yourself." 

Love is a message I want to spread today. When we as a community have to pick up the pieces after a terrible tragedy like this, it is important to pray for the victims and families who are missing their loved ones.  

Here are some of my favorite looks from Yuna Yang's beautiful feminine fall line.

NYFW : Red Dress Boutique and Custo Barcelona

Live life in color. That was my motto day one of fashion week in the big apple. 

I know when you think of NYC fashion you typically think black, but if you look around the city there is so much color! Time Square is a perfect place to draw inspiration if you're feeling less than creative. Everywhere you look there are bursts of light and brilliant colorful billboards.

Being in New York City made me feel like a Boss Babe and so did this beautiful vibrant orange look from Red Dress Boutique. 

I opted to pair this adorable dress with a tan thin belt, embordered "Acapulco" light denim clutch, and strappy taupe heels. The shoes run true to size and so does the dress. However, the dress does have an oversized feel so you could size down if you desire a more fitted look. 

 I also love these "Mesmerize Me" tangerine statement earrings that tied this whole look together.

I think we can all agree this is a great look for spring transition and can take you all the way into summer. It was also an excellent ensemble for the Custo Barcelona fashion show Saturday morning.  

Custo Barcelona was a show that was nontraditional to the "fall fashions" you are used to seeing in February on the runways of New York Fashion Week. That is because this designer is also inspired by colors and prints. His feel is very Miami and his looks are complex, vibrant and effortless.

The show was held at Pier 51 next to the Hudson River and held hundreds of influencers, buyers, and celebrities who were all wowed with his impressive custom pieces.

Here are a few of my favorite looks from the show.
