Mongol FW15 by Mongolian fashion designer, Bayarmaa Bayarkhuu, was inspired by traditional Mongolian costume mixed with urban casual inspiration and the entrepreneurial lifestyle. As a modern girl with a taste for the traditional, I absolutely loved seeing this combination on the runway. The jackets and fur details in the collection were impeccable.

For Betsey Johnson, fashion is always flirty, bright, and fun! I’ve long been a fan of her bold designs. So when I got an invite to her Fall 2014 runway show, nothing could stop me from attending. Though I originally had standing room only, right before the show started I spotted an unclaimed seat in the third row and snatched it up faster than you can say ‘fabulous.’ Not only did I get these amazing photos of the collection themed around all things hot, but my seat ended up being directly in front of the one and only, Miss Paris Hilton!
Betsey’s show was a red hot smoke show of fab fashion! It even included smoke and fire fighters to put out the fire caused by this insanely hot style. I loved the brilliant reds, statement necklaces, and overall fabulousness of the whole event. I tweeted that it changed my life and I meant it.

New York Fashion Week is here again!! As I always say, Fashion Week is a week that twice a year makes a good night sleep so last season. Luckily, however, sleep always seems to come back in style. If you could be in two places at once, you could probably compete with the likes of Anna Wintour. But, only Anna Wintour can do that. So here I am embarking on another week of couture collections, champagne, and massive amounts of caffeine as I attempt to live the dream. Here’s where I will tentatively be for SS14.
My NYFW SS14:
September 7th (12pm): Son Jung Wan SS14 at Studio
September 7th (4pm): Katya Leonovich SS14 at Studio

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week begins this week. Sadly there is nothing I can do as far as Social Media Week colliding with it. However, along with deciphering a subway map, I have also discovered ways to take Fashion Week the same way Kourtney and Kim have taken New York. Although we all aspire to have a seat next to the runway like Anna Wintour, it is not always going to happen. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t experience all of the fun and excitement that is Fashion Week. The clothes are awesome and all, but in the end, everyone is really in it for the parties and free champagne. Here are five rules to live by if you plan on conquering Fashion Week from the bottom up.
Rule #1 Show Off Your Dark Side: Though you may be tempted to splurge on a colorful couture outfit to stand out among the fashion community, there is really no need to do that. In fact, I highly discourage it. The idea is not to call attention to yourself, but to the clothes being displayed on the runway. Neutral tones of black and grey are the way to go. Now is the time to break out that signature little black dress you already have in your closet.
Rule #2 Don’t Cause a Champagne Crisis: Free champagne and organic cocktails are two of the many benefits of being invited to exclusive Fashion Week events. Always drink responsibly. In the event that you are done consuming alcohol for the night, yet still want to invoke an image of Fashion Week excess, sip diet ginger ale from your champagne flute and the night is all yours.
Rule #3 Blow is Never the Way to Go: 80s inspired styles belong on the runway, not up your nose. Please enjoy a drug-free Fashion Week.
Rule #4 Beware of Creepy Old Men: Believe it or not, creepy old men that should be hitting up Match.com, run rampant at Fashion Week waiting for some model or onlooker to get wasted or become desperate. Stay as far away as possible from these individuals. Not only are they annoying, they are trouble.
Rule #5 Pretend to Know Everything & Everyone, Even if you Don’t: To act as if you know fashion, is to know fashion. Throughout the course of Fashion Week, the people you meet will bring up names of designers, models, etc. that you have never heard of. Never reveal your ignorance. Superficial answers like “Yes, they are so inspiring” are completely sufficient.
