It is becoming a tradition for Lydia and I to head to NYC for the RewardStyle New York Fashion Week party. It's always a good time meeting old and new blog friends with a great view of the city. With the change of location for NYFW, the venue for the party changed as well. Instead of The Empire Hotel it was at the Hotel Americano.  I got to see a bunch of old blogger friends (even if it was just a quick hello - the party was super busy!) and met some new ones as well.

Nike was there to help us create our very own NIKEiD shoes! I can't wait for mine to arrive. It takes about a month, but they're custom made to your specifications so totally worth it! I got mine with spotted pony hair and purple accents!

I attempted the curl my hair for the day, but it didn't go so well. I just can't seem to work a curling wand (or curling iron...or any hair tool.)

Notice my little nod to Star Wars in this outfit, I couldn't resist wearing the cute lapel pin Kohl's gave me during my photoshoot last week! Hopefully I'll have the official photos from the shoot to share soon as well as a video!

And some party photos:

Monday I posted my outfit for the RewardStyle party so today I'm sharing some photos from the actual party! It was a lot of fun, Lydia and I met handbag designer Melanie of Mel Boteri and also caught up with Nnenna.  I even was brave and said hi to Margaret of Shine by Three who I've been following for years.

I even spotted us on Instagram! Ha ha

Last Sunday Lydia and I went to the RewardStyle Rooftop Party to celebrate fashion week. Lydia and I had fun shooting photos at Lincoln Center (though away from the people) and in the park across the street. Check back tomorrow or Wednesday for some party snaps!

This past Tuesday I was lucky enough to be invited to an event hosted by Lucky Magazine and Movado watches to celebrate their ESQ One watch, "an eye-catching watch of unisex appeal that’s cool, colorful, fashionable and fun."  I'd say that description is about right; I can girl the watch up for myself & my guy friends could borrow it.  At the event we got to choose a watch and select from a wide array of bracelets to create an arm party.  They even had a candy bar!

I was nervous about going to the event because I didn't know anyone that would be there. Fortunately, I happened to sit near two girls and asked if they were going to the event - turns out they were!  An instant bond was formed between myself, Krista and Jackie.  Before the event we took some outfit photos (thank goodness for them or I would have none.)  Then we headed to the event where I met a bunch of other amazing bloggers including Jen and Tracy!  I was very proud of myself for talking to people at the event, normally I'm super quiet and keep to myself.

On to the outfit!  I'm wearing my new safari print Madewell tee and my freshly shortened leather skirt (thanks to my mom!)  I'm also sporing some new penny loafers gifted from Joie at the RewardStyle party which I will be posting photos from next week!  My new (well, a month old now) bag got tons of compliments at the party - gotta love Marshalls for unique on-trend pieces!
