NYFW Day 2

Hello all, I hope you've enjoyed your weekend. As I type this I am currently in New York for fashion week. Fashion week is one of my favorite times of the year and this trip has been a blast. I have had some truly great experiences. I attended a few shows (which I will be giving you a sneak peek of soon) and have had my fill of fashion lounges and events. I am truly appreciative of the experiences I get to have because of my blog. I can't wait to show you all of the great photos that I took. Until then, here are the pictures I took of my first look which was taken on the second day of Fashion week. 

Fur Vest

Love taking a piece and wearing in a completely different way. This top was seen last here.

Red ruffles (&Giveaway!!!)

This is my last outfit post from NYFW :( . Sad I know. I did wear a few other outfits but didn't get good enough pictures to post them so I'll have to do so at a later date.

I am so in love with this top. First off, I found it Nordstrom rack, where it was on sale for $9.75 but was originally $139. Love great deals like that! The top just exudes a certain opulence. The scarlet color is so on trend for fall and pairing it with the leather skirt was perfect.

Top: Nordstrom
Skirt: H&M (similar here, here and here)
Clutch: via Marshalls
Shoes: UrbanOG
Bracelets: Asos
Necklace: vintage

Nordstrom Rack in Tysons Corner

Hello beautiful people. I know I said I had some more Fashion week stuff to share with you, and I do, but just I wanted to do a quick post on an event I was so graciously asked to attend yesterday. This event was a sneak peek of the new Nordstrom Rack store that will be opening this Thursday in Tysons Corner. I was super excited to attend this event because, as you all may know, I am a huge Nordstrom fan and the Rack is even more amazing, with price reduced from 30-70%.

Now you may be thinking that with prices that good that the merchandise is no-name and out of season, well au contrere mon frere, the Rack carries on-trend items from designers like Kate Spade and Marni.

This particular store, has an great layout, with two floors full of fab merchandise.
My favorite section is Shoes, which takes up about half of the second floor. The great thing out the shoe section in Nordstrom Rack is that they offer a wide variety of larger sized shoes for women and men (Women going up to size 14 and men up to size 20).

If you get a chance to check the store out please do and a great day to stop by would be this Thursday for the opening event  where you can have a chance to win a 90 second $2000 shopping spree (don't get your hopes up 'cause I'll be there to win that hehe) Also they're giving away free Nordstrom Rack tote bags.

Check out the pic below to see the wonderful store and what I wore to the event.

Then umm (Denim)

 

 I'm trying new things and scenes to get this blog thing down right and I think that this little shoot looks very blogger-esque. Wouldn't you agree? There's no really long story behind this one, just another beautiful day on God's green earth. You should notice that my picture skills are getting better! lol You must also excuse the hair, I hate wearing it in a pony or bun because it makes me look like 12 and not 22 but I will be getting it done later this week.

 I'm wearing:  Blazer; Tahari/ Jeans and shirt; H&M/  Scarf and earrings; vintage/ Bag; Aldo/ Boots; Norstrom/ Sunnies; F21
