Let's get planning !

When life gets chaotic, get a planner. Ever since I was in high school, I always had to write down everything, from homework to social events. High school planners were the best, you had your months in the front and then you have your weeks broken down. I was lucky enough to find them in college also. But being out in the real world as an adult I could not seem to find a planner that had everything I was looking for.... Until now! 

I was lucky enough to find Much Ado About You on Instagram and lets just say I hit the planner jackpot. I was dying to get my hand on this colorful book! I was lucky enough to see Emmy's post  looking for  guinea pigs, and I was quick to apply, and super excited I was chosen to get  an early peek  at her new planners. This has quickly become my new favorite item in my bag. She  pays attention to detail, including these cute tabs for the months that you stick on the edge. She gives you a huge paper clip for you to get right to the week you are currently on, and these circle stickers for events.  I will be back every year as long as she is making them. 

Here is the best way to get your hands on one of these beauties!

Honda Holiday Party 2012

My Fiancé works at a Honda dealership and last night was their holiday party. It's great seeing everyone all together, all dressed up. The party was held at Powelton Club, in Newburgh NY. Just wanted to share a few photos.

Jason Wu

I LOVE JASON WU! His styles are to die for, only if I had an increased credit limit lol. I love all the colors he chose for his line. I am kind of obsessed with black clothing, there is just something so chic about it and his designs for this spring13 RTW are amazing in my opinion.He has such clean lines and such detail. Below are our top pics.

Lisa Perry

Nothing like time travel, and that exactly what Lisa Perry's Spring 13 ready-to -wear accomplishes for me. I feel like I have been thrown back to the day's of twiggy, with her mod dresses. I wouldn't say they scream the 60's, but they have that same idea with a modern twist. Staying on trend with the color blocking.

Erin Fetherston

Erin Fetherston's  line is edgy with a hint of  girly. I totally love the pale pink with the black. The dark black leather keeps the edgy look, but her color choices throughout the line keeps the feminine touch. Her dress shorts with matching blazer have a fun pattern to keeps it interesting. Their are definitely a few pieces in her collection I  will be purchasing.

IFB Conference 2012

Its that time of year again! New York Fashion week begins this Thursday September 6th. But before the clatter of heals head to Bryant Park for the the shows, it all starts with IFBCON. Independent Fashion Bloggers Conference is one of the most amazing things a blogger can attend during fashion week. The information that you gain from this conference is priceless. Jennie Jacob is the founder of Independent Fashion Bloggers, and she is amazing. She created this amazing community where fashion bloggers all over the world can come and talk about their tips, experiences, and the business of blogging. I am in total awe of her talent and ability to create something so amazing and now a staple in the fashion world. I am so disappointed I could not make it to this conference but they have an amazing lineup.
