It's beginning to look a lot like CHRISTmas, even though the tree behind me is bordered up doesn't mean that my anticipation has to follow, because its the smell in the air that keeps reminding me that the time is almost HERE!  LIFE and TIME I DO NOT OWN, but with all of the dreams in my heart's overflow I.... AM..... EXPECTING!  Its the nine months of conception since birth that has paved the way to right now, no matter of when or how life is DESTINED for me, prostrate or bended on one knee "your with me always", so with this ring I THEE WED the assurance of being greater than the past, and with the NEW YEAR approaching I tip my glass, to all that awaits ME!!!

THE COLLECTION

This show overall was one of the most entertaining shows I experienced during fashion week.  It was a compilation of designers that superceeded my expectation.  From the gowns to the coats, cocktail dresses and Avate Garde pieces there was never a dull moment.  One thing that I loved was the variety of models on the runway  it was such a refreshing thing to witness, seeing as how it’s not the norm on most runways.  There was something for every type of girl!


THE BEAUTY BAR

The New York Life beauty look was spring chic, it  embodied all things girly.  The hair was styled in a braided crown that framed the models faces with loose pieces that complimented the all apparent softness of the show.  I was rather impressed by the makeup because it was a neutral look that worked on all of the girls, the same warm tone shades carried a similar message of effortless chic through  out all the skin tones.  New York Life gets the awared for diversity!!!

THE COLLECTION

If I could describe this collection in two words it will have to be, “everyday minimal.”  It was so effortless, from the styling, to the fabric choice, to the color palette, it took me back to a time in  life where things made sense and were simple.  Back when putting on clothes didn’t really have a right or wrong way, a time where cool sneakers and colorful tights were ALWAYS in.  A time where being cool was a lifestyle inherited from your youth #thecoolkids!!

THE BEAUTY BAR

The Ready-to- Fish look as Benny Hancock describes, was based on a clean fresh out of the shower look that still yields a bit of structure which was shown through the contour of the jaw line, filler lines and brow gel were added to strengthen the brows, while the lashes were merged together to finish the eye look.  The lips were achieved with two colors, a nude liner filled in with a pink lipstick. The look is something that was so effortless looking that anyone can re-create it at home!
