BCBG curated a full exhibit which was referred to as the Retrospective. The Retrospective looked back at each year the brand has been in existence from the first formal dress to what you just saw come down the runway this past New York Fashion Week. This exhibit was incredible and took up multiple rooms. The first picture below is a room which displayed 2 outfits per each <span style="background-color: white;">BCBG</span> collection since the launch of the brand. It was amazing to see the evolution of BCBG and having 50 outfits from 25 years in one room was extremely impactful. The next room was a mock red carpet set up with BCBG Atelier looks that celebrities have worn to different award shows. My favorite dress that was featured was the Pink dress that Maria Menounos wore to the Golden Globes this year. The next room was dedicated to Herve Leger - which was obviously my favorite room. The best part about the Retrospective for me, was that I got a private tour with the curator who also happens to be the Creative Director for licensing at BCBG. He was able to give me the insider scoop and little behind the scene details. For instance, Lubov Azria wanted to include a particular white Herve Leger dress in the Retrospective and so she contributed one from her very own closet! (see picture below).<br />
<br />
<br />
I could go on and on with more details about walking the Retrospective but overall, it gave me the smallest glimpse into how much money, time, risk, and effort it takes to build a brand with lasting power.<br />

I traded in my traditional bodycon style for a more relaxed and laid back look. The best part of this outfit is that there are tons of layers to help combat this in-between weather and all of them are super affordable! I found these Joe's Jeans on mega-sale on <a href="http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/home.do">Piperlime </a>for $46 from $218 and even though these tattered boyfriend jeans aren't typically my style, I decided the price was totally worth a try.<br />
<br />
There is actually a funny story behind the jeans - I wore them in Santa Monica with my sister and believe it or not managed to tear them in one of the only areas that wasn't already torn - which also happened to be in a spot that made them no longer wearable - of course. I was about to throw them out and then I discovered Denim Therapy in NYC - one of the city's hidden fashion gems. They take worn, torn, and holey denim and repair them. I dropped this pair off and 3 weeks picked them up to be as good as new! Check them out :)<br />

This post is dedicated to what I hope will be the LAST winter-wear post! Although it's been slow-moving, I am hopeful that Spring is rearing it's head around the corner and I am going to pack up my winter wardrobe and begin the season change-up. Fingers crossed for warm weather, sandals, and maxi dresses!<br />

out of the house so we headed over to planet fitness for a quick
workout. Funny enough, my sister and I workout TOTALLY different. She
was all American in Track in high school and would prefer to just do
straight up cardio on the treadmill til she pukes, while I prefer to
lift and do circuit training for my cardio.<br />
<br />
My trainer had given me a cardio circuit on Friday which I had done and
timed that morning and my sister agreed to give it a try. It was
actually pretty awesome working out with her because we pushed each
other so we maintained the same pace the entire time. The best part
about this workout is that you don't need any equipment so it's a great
workout to do when you can't make it to the gym. Give it a try and let
me know how it goes!<br />

sometimes dressing the part can help you get through the hardest times. Sure, cuddling up in bed in sweats and ordering-in your favorite junk food is always a strong healing method. But when you're ready to come out of your cave, dressing the part can really help you get beyond whatever obstacle you are facing at the present time.<br />
<br />
Clothes give you the freedom to express whatever you are feeling- good or bad. Whether it's a tough time or something you want to celebrate- there truly is an outfit for every occasion and what you wear sends a message. <br />
<br />
I shot this look 6 weeks ago or so, when I was ready to pull myself out of a funk and focus on moving forward. The sparkle sweatshirt says "I'm shining bright, but I'm relaxed" and the pop of color in the skirt says "I'm ready to take chances." On the contrary, the metal zippers and studded clutch show some edge and a little glimpse of a tougher side; paired with the heels that say "don't f%#k with me." <br />
<br />
If this comes off a little "Girl Interrupted" meets Taylor Swift, I
promise I'm not hiding chicken underneath my bed and I certainly don't
intend to take guitar lessons any time soon :)<br />
<br />
Sometimes it's best to let your outfit speak for itself.<br />

I partially took a break due to the fact that work really took off (in a good way) and I felt like I barely had time to breathe, let alone sit down and actually compose a cohesive post.<br />
<br />
So better late than never, I wanted to reflect on my experience during New York Fashion Week. I was fortunate enough this year to attend two shows for BCBG Max Azria and Herve Leger. Both experiences were totally different but rounded out to make for the perfect overall perspective.<br />
<br />
For the BCBG show, I wasn't sure what to expect so I made sure I woke up early that morning to get ready and wore the brand head to toe. When I got to Lincoln Center, it was so surreal to be in the same waiting area as some of my favorite bloggers, designers, or people I watch on tv on a weekly basis. People watching - even for a short period of time, was very humbling. On one hand I was living out a dream that I had always had and on the other hand, I felt the way I did as a little girl when I discovered Santa wasn't real. It was a matter of extremes.<br />
<br />
My seat for the show was amazing with a great view of the runway. Even though I am slightly biased, I think that the music that was picked for the show was unmatched during all of Fashion Week. The soundtrack was totally unexpected and it created an amazing energy amongst the crowd to the point where I felt like everyone couldn't help but bob their head or move along to the music.<br />
<br />
Saturday, I got my ticket to the Herve Leger show at the last minute so it was meant for standing room only. After having one show under my belt, I realized that wardrobe to the shows is anywhere from jeans and a flannel to evening-wear and it seemed as if it wasn't as cool to dress over the top. Since I left from work with my boss, I just wore a basic black outfit with flat boots. Once we got into the show my boss and I were offered seats, but we opted for a different perspective and stood at the top row. At the last minute, someone moved blocking my view so I quickly reached into my bag and switched out my flats out for platform heels just in time for the show to start. Although that moment was so cliche "High Heels and Taxi Cabs," it made me smile and was the perfect way for me to cap off the week.<br />
<br />

This is traditionally a big blogger no-no because of the lack of natural lighting, especially in my tiny NYC apartment-cave, but I decided I'd take the chance and stay warm. He probably also took one look at my outfit and decided he didn't want to be an accomplice to me getting pneumonia.<br />

The below look is my play on Black Swan. This outfit combines a few staples that I am known for: leather, a crop top, and a statement jewelry piece. The top is from Zara <a href="http://www.zara.com/us/en/woman/tops/crop-top-with-zip-c437590p1436183.html">Similar Here</a>. The Quilted Skater Skirt is from ASOS <a href="http://us.asos.com/ASOS-A-Line-Quilted-Skirt/120rqe/?iid=3314251&cid=2639&Rf-200=1&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Red&mporgp=L0FTT1MvQVNPUy1BLUxpbmUtUXVpbHRlZC1Ta2lydC9Qcm9kLw..">Similar Here</a>. The suspender print tights are from <a href="http://www.nastygal.com/accessories-socks-legwear/super-suspender-tights">NastyGal</a>, along with the hand armor <a href="http://www.nastygal.com/accessories-jewelry-body-chains/chain-reaction-handpiece">bracelet</a>. All pretty affordable items that come together for a fun night out outfit.<br />

Where did you get it?" I feel like it's a challenge, especially since it's outside of the box and could easily be a #fail.<br />
<br />
I found this manly-quilted-lumberjack vest with a leather collar at Nordstrom on double sale for $30. This is a perfect example of the above since it had to be marked down twice. I'll admit, I wouldn't have bought it for much more, but I decided that I could give it a shot for the price. I paired it with a basic <a href="http://www.gap.com/">GAP</a> grey T, <a href="http://www.bcbgeneration.com/Knee-High-Ponte-and-Faux-Leather-Pant/XGN2F028-001,default,pd.html?dwvar_XGN2F028-001_color=001&cgid=shop-bottoms#start=10">BCBGeneration</a> Legging to Leather Pants, Boutique9 Pumps <a href="http://www.shoebuy.com/boutique-9-kimberly/564930/1174313">(similar)</a>, and J<a href="http://www.juicycouture.com/jewelry-necklaces">uicy Couture</a> spike necklace. What do you guys think? Is it pulled together? Or still not happening for you?<br />

Happy New Year Everyone! I hope everyone has enjoyed their holidays and had some quality family time. Starting with my first post in 2014, I will be showing off my favorite Christmas gift.... a new CAMERA. This means no more ghetto/pixilated iPhone pictures! I kicked off 2014 with the perfect New Years Day: a movie in bed, a blog shoot, dinner with my Gay Boyfriend and ended the day with a gym sesh. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This outfit below is an outfit that I wore out to LA on January 2nd for ten hours of BCBG meetings. It might look put together but this outfit experienced a lot: the beginning of a NYC snow storm, lost luggage in LAX, broken rental car, and endless hours in the airport due to the storm. It's amazing how a great outfit can help mask the stress and drama that we experience on a daily basis and put our best heel first.</div>

Although I sell hats as part of my job and I love them, I hesitate and chicken out wearing them ALL THE TIME! Given that this is the most hypocritical thing, I have decided that I am going to start wearing them more. For the rest of the outfit, I had to rep my <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bcbgeneration-girly-girl-knit-infinity-scarf/3609807?siteId=J84DHJLQkR4-JTNrb4vo0MOP5izTsj4gqw">BCBGeneration "Girly Girl" Cold Weather Loop</a> in Rosewood. The knit is super cozy and I own it in two colors. My jeans are AG which is my go-to brand for denim. I never buy them at
regular retail thanks to flashsale sites but I do think they are totally
worth the retail price. My leather jacket is <a href="http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=944779002">BB Dakota</a>. I think Forest Green is my favorite color of the season (for the moment). The best accessory of this whole outfit however, has to be my sister's puppy Milo :) <br />

I eat a lot of almonds and cashews and although they are a great source of protein for you, they are not great in the mass load quantities that I eat them in. I think it's the crunchiness that I like the most so given that I decided I would try out these apple chips. Here is what you need: Apples, Coconut Oil Spray, Cinnamon, and Splenda <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Preheat the oven to 250. Then start by thinly slicing an apple to paper thin slices (if they are too thick they will take longer to cook). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Then spray down the cooking sheet with coconut oil spray. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Lay the apple slices on the sheet and sprinkle one packet of splenda over the apples and then sprinkle cinnamon as well</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Set your timer for one hour and let the apple slices bake</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- After an hour, flip the apples to the other side and sprinkle additional cinnamon and let them bake for another hour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- After the second hour check to make sure that the chips are crunchy enough, if not let them bake for longer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-ENJOY :) </div>

<br />
As I mentioned in my last post, the purpose of my trip was to attend BCBG and BCBGeneration Brand Summit meetings to discuss 2014 planning and also reiterate the different brand DNA's. Thursday we flew out and quickly went to Pour Vous - this awesome bar in downtown LA which turned out to be the perfect venue for the Generation Summit. Joyce Azria, creative director of BCBGeneration, chose the location because she wanted us to be in a setting where she thought the #GenGirl (her target customer) would hang out on a typical night in LA. This really beat the routine Thursday "work vibe." Joyce's energy and passion for the brand is truly uplifting and it was a great way to kick off the trip.<br />
<br />

<br />
Friday we woke up and went to the BCBG Corporate office to attend the BCBG Max Azria Summit. With 2014 being the 25th anniversary of the brand, it was amazing to hear more of the history and get a better understanding of it's incredible growth over time.<br />

<br />
After the summit, I went back to meet my sister and we decided to cross something off our bucket list and hike Runyon Canyon. The weather was amazing and although it was a lot steeper than we expected, the views and sister-time made it totally worth it. Tip for future hikers: Don't try to hike after Bloody Mary's.<br />

Following the hike we did some retailing. One of the fun parts of my job is getting into as many stores as possible to shop the competition and offer my clients the best feedback, advice, and opportunities to improve their business. <br />

Friday night we went to dinner at Riva Bella on Sunset Blvd. The food was amazing!<br />

So much for the cliff notes version :) At least I managed it in one post.</div>

To be honest I have been so busy with work in addition to other obstacles and didn't want to force my blog posts. I felt that if I kept blogging, that I would just be going through the motions and eventually something that I looked at as a hobby would inevitably become a chore or job. So... I decided to take a break and now here I am :) Thanks to anyone who sent me a message saying they missed my posts, it really made me smile. <br />
<br />
Per usual, I feel as if I have been living out of a suitcase and constantly traveling, but I can't complain too much because I love being on the go. As some of you may know, I go out to LA for work frequently - but a typical trip consists of 10 hours of flying, ten hours of meetings, and taking the redeye back only to make it to work in glasses with limited make-up. However, this last week I was able to stay Thursday and Friday and decided to mix business with pleasure and fly my sister out as an early Xmas gift to spend the weekend.<br />
<br />
Needless to say, my next few posts will be about various things from my trip. Below is an outfit that I wore for my second day of meetings with BCBG. The pants are from <a href="http://www.southmoonunder.com/Veronica-M-Elastic-Hem-Printed-Pants/162680,default,pd.html?start=17&cgid=1002">SouthMoonUnder</a> - I have learned to love this style of pant. They are the closest thing to sweats or pajama pants that are appropriate for work! The jacket is from <a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5739&vid=1&pid=752735002">GAP,</a> yes the GAP. I was shocked myself but I love the electric pink and now that I am looking online it comes in a ton of other great colors and patterns. My earrings are <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/crystal-stud-earrings-auden/vp/v=1/1557912089.htm?fm=search-shopbysize">AUDEN</a> - I have a slight obsession with this line and the designer. I love how his pieces are simple but edgy. I completed the look with my go-to Pour La Victoire pumps which I actually had to buy a second pair of because I had worn out my first. Go figure haha<br />

little unexpected and pair things that you wouldn't initially put
together. Sometimes it comes out amazing and of course you run the risk
of it being tragic - but either way it's show stopping and out of the
ordinary. With sportswear being big, I love putting a girly spin on it.
For this outfit I paired a Zara "Jersey" Sweatshirt (other option from <a href="http://us.asos.com/Hilfiger-Denim-85-3-4-Sleeve-Top/111i53/?iid=3295721&SearchQuery=jersey&sh=0&pge=5&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=White&mporgp=L0hpbGZpZ2VyLURlbmltL0hpbGZpZ2VyLURlbmltLTg1LTMvNC1TbGVldmUtVG9wL1Byb2Qv">ASOS</a>) with a <a href="http://www.zara.com/us/en/woman/skirts/mini-skort-c269188p1370015.html">Zara </a>mini

is struggling to find the motivation to get back after it. I loved the
squat challenge and I felt like it was a commitment that I kept up with
so I decided to start that challenge again but to also do it hand-in-hand with
this Plank Challenge shown below for core strength. What are you guys doing to push
yourself to get back into the swing of things?! I need suggestions!<br />

Week and a change in wardrobe, I know it will only be a matter of a
couple of months before I am wishing for summer back. With these last
few weeks, I'm trying to wear the things that you can't just add black
tights to and wear during Fall/Winter but the clothes that read true
summer. I wore this bright floral romper the other night for a date and
let's just say I liked my romper more hah (Oops). Is everyone getting in
their last weekend of white pants? Or are you like me and continue to
wear them as long as the weather allows it?<br />

much and this past week I went to Vegas to attend the MAGIC Tradeshow
with the BCBGeneration team. As per Creative Director Joyce Azria's request, we were
supposed to wear Denim, White, and Black - preferably leather. She
gifted all of us that attended this adorable <a href="http://www.bcbgeneration.com/Contrast-Button-Up-Blouse/TNW1P723-100,default,pd.html?dwvar_TNW1P723-100_color=100&cgid=shop-tops#start=3">Denim Bib Tuxedo Top</a> from
the BCBGeneration line. Here's how I styled it and topped it off with my
custom GLAM <a href="http://www.bcbgeneration.com/AFFIRMATIONS/shop-accessories-affirmation,default,sc.html">affirmation bracelet</a> that I made at the show. Check out their site for this top in

hips, I don't always think this is always the most flattering trend. It
sounds silly but it has to be the perfect peplum. It has to still show
my waist or else it just makes me look bigger than I am. When I saw this
dress on <a href="http://www.nastygal.com/product/island-peplum-dress/_/searchString/peplum">NastyGal</a>, I had to take a chance because I was obsessed with
the print and knew it would be perfect for my Palm Beach trip that was
on the horizon. Sure enough, it was the perfect peplum. Now that I look at the pictures, it's probably because it's so small and the print is so prominent that you can barely see it, but in person, it's much more visible. I paired the
dress with <a href="http://www.zappos.com/b-brian-atwood-bambola-grey-patent?zfcTest=fcl%3A3">Brian Atwood</a> heels (I have an unhealthy obsession with his
shoes) and a Tory Burch Clutch (similar <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/tory-burch-thea-bombe-metallic-leather-clutch/3506976?origin=PredictiveSearch-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=&resultback=6907&cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_19_B">here</a>).<br />

<br />
This outfit is total proof that mixing price points normally ends in the
outfit looking at the level of the higher price point. Personally, I
justify investing more money in shoes (specifically heels) since you can wear them with
multiple outfits. I might use this theory to the point of abuse, but
it's worked for me thus far. The dress was purchased a while ago on
Lulus.om for around $50 and the shoes... were not haha. The heels are
Jeffrey Campbell and I have neglected them in my closet for over a year
(I know it's really terrible). This post really doesn't need to be long because these shoes speak for themselves :)<br />

of order with order of events. Here's a flashback to my family vacation
on Palm Beach Florida. Since I was a little girl, my family has been
lucky enough to frequent The Breakers in Palm Beach and it has become
one of my favorite hotels that I have ever stayed at. Palm Beach has
become the scene for the Hamptons regulars' during the non summer seasons.
It's really peaceful to go there during the summer because it's pretty
dead and you can really unwind and relax. Synonymous for Lily Pulitzer,
preppy clothing, and fancy cars- the people-watching scene never
disappoints. The last night my family was in PB, we went to The Breakers
for dinner; who revamped their main dining room to be an Asian fusion/50's
inspired restaurant. The waitresses all wore 50s black dresses with
their hair in romantic bouffant buns. Most of the dinner tables were
surrounded by couches instead of chairs- giving it a swanky lounge feel.
Although the decor and ambiance were both amazing, unfortunately the service
was not up to par with the way it had been in my past visits. Even
though we were disappointed, we will definitely go back and hopefully
have better service. We obviously weren't too deterred since we returned the next day to do some shopping :)<br />

spending more time chasing planes, trains, and automobiles than anything
else. This past Friday I made my way down to DC to celebrate one of my
best friend's engagement. Although I could've used
the rest, I wouldn't have missed it for the world and it actually gave
me some additional energy by being able to catch up with friends and witness a
couple that when you watch them from across the room, you know they are
meant to be and will be together forever. It's truly refreshing.<br />
<br />
Sorry for the brief sappy moment... Haha<br />
<br />
For the engagement party I wore this neoprene Clover Canyon Printed
Dress that I found on sale at <a href="http://www.revolveclothing.com/DisplayProduct.jsp?product=CLOV-WD64&c=">Revolve Clothing</a>. I love neoprene, which is essentially wet suit material. My
sister makes fun of me when I wear neoprene and calls me Scuba Stephie (if you
aren't catching the Big Daddy reference, please gain some culture and
go watch it!) Since the print has a lot going on, I kept the jewelry
simple and carried my go-to Tory Burch envelope clutch in orange and
then for shoes I wore these amazing gold metal plated <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/steve-madden-whitneyy-wedge-sandal/3503530?origin=category-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=BLACK&resultback=4314&cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_13_D">Steve Madden</a>
wedges that I got on sale at Lord & Taylor.<br />

When I first saw this challenge, the triple digits alone made my body
hurt but I decided I should give it a try and although it was definitely
tough I shocked myself with being able to get through it a lot easier than I had anticipated. I got through this in under 20 minutes, time yourself and see where you end up:<br />
<br />
1) 100 Squats with Shoulder Press using 5lbs<br />
<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
2) 100 Deadlifts using a 45 lbs bar </div>
<br />
3) 100 Sit-Ups<br />
<br />
4) 100 Forward Walking Lunges<br />
<br />
5) Wall Sit with Bicep Curls using 5 lb weights- this was the most difficult to get through the 100<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
6) 100 Wide Mountain Climbers - get into a plank position and then bring your right knee to your right elbow and then do the same with the left side. This exercise obviously cannot be done at the speed as regular mountain climbers but still try to have a quick pace<br />

seasons but they can quickly become redundant and seem "been there,
done that." Lately I have been drawn to palm prints and Hawaiian florals
that are way less traditional and ironically enough - when I looked at
our design boards for Summer 2014 that is exactly the direction we are
headed. Mixing in bamboo, tropical wildlife, and ocean scenes with
Hawaiian florals to bring new meaning and life to what we think of when
you say "floral print". Here is a Hawaiian floral print by Keepsake (same print, different style <a href="http://fashionbunker.com/clothing/dresses/you-sent-me-t-shirt-dress-secret-garden-print-5724?color=White%2Fscrtgrdnbright&size=XS">here</a>) that
I wore last weekend in Palm Beach. I love that there is so much going
on with the print that there wasn't too much accessorizing that was
needed. Pair of <a href="http://www.brianatwood.com/FONTANNE/53779703,default,pd.html?variantSizeClass=&variantColor=JJD99C8&cgid=53826929&prefn1=catalog-id&prefv1=brianatwood-catalog">Brian Atwood</a> heels and a <a href="http://www.cwonder.com/Categories/Sale/Bags/Snake-Embossed-Leather-Minaudiere/product/CWAC-BCL704B-S13.html">C Wonder </a>bracelet Clutch and I
was good to go. What do you think? Out with the old in with the new? Or
stick with the traditional because it is timeless?<br />

and patterns that I love and adore that I really take advantage,
sometimes to the point of overkill. This outfit is a perfect example

Yorkers will probably feel nauseous at the site of this, but I can live
with that!<br />

completed before work! Xo<br />
