The spring blossoms have arrived, and for the past week, we have been enjoying spring-like temperatures hovering in the high 60’s and reaching into the low 70’s. I was thrilled to find this tree which had the most beautiful blossoms I have seen this season. Unfortunately, I am not sure how long the spring blossoms will fare due to the current rain storm we are experiencing. It is possible the rain and wind could wipe out the spring blossoms. Thankfully I captured a few on camera!

A little over a week ago I introduced to you a fabulous jewelry line named Joey J. I fell in love with their jewelry collection and am thrilled to be wearing a beautiful pair of earrings from the “Glamorous Romance” collection! I paired my new Joey J earrings with an outfit I wore at New York Fashion Week when it was snowing outside and never photographed it. Don’t worry, I wore this outfit with boots, not high heels when I was in the snow!

This sweater from BCBG was perfect in New York, and it is working well here in our moderate, Northern California weather. The sweater can be worn open with a draped appearance, or wrapped around my shoulder’s for coziness. I also love that fact that it is reversible! I have been wearing it with the black side out, but I am sure when the weather warms up, and I would like to lighten up my color palette, I will be wearing the sweater with the ivory side up!

I felt like this was the perfect outfit for my first time out in my new Joey J earrings. The ensemble reminds me of New York Fashion Week, which is glamorous, and the beautiful spring blossoms in the background are romantic! These earrings are the perfect size to be worn during the day, or for evening events. I can definitely see wearing them with a cocktail dress! I am also looking forward to pairing them with casual looks in order to add a little bit of glam to my ensemble.

It was freezing in New York and as a California girl, I was too cold to take my coat off for the pictures! I am not sure how some women were walking around in crop tops and bare legs; I could see their goosebumps! So, I took a few photos when I wore the dress again earlier this week in mild, spring-like, California weather! This way you can see the dress without the coat 😉

This spring 2014 dress was perfect for fashion week since the fabric was thick and impossible to wrinkle; love that when I pack a suitcase! The short sleeves were a little chilly, but I survived with a coat and was fine when inside the tents. I lived in my 2009 runway Prada pumps during fashion week which have a fabulous lug sole. I was able to walk confidently without slipping on the slushy ice. Loved that!

A New York Fashion Week look: Friday

Friday was my busiest day at New York Fashion Week. I attended five shows and was stopped a few times on the street by photographers. This was the first time photographers stopped me to take pictures and I was thoroughly baffled on how to act! I stopped and smiled, but completely forgot to ask them who they worked for! Only one photographer offered up her publication. I have to admit, the whole experience was flattering! The compliments I received were towards my Milly skirt and Rebecca Minkoff handbag. Due to this experience, I will be wearing both of these items well through spring, and possibly into summer too! How could I not?!

My shoes are from the fall 2009 Prada runway and I could not be more thankful for them! I brought them and wore them at fashion week because they have a lug sole which grips the ice and snow; keeping me safe from falls! In addition to the traction, they are extremely comfortable despite the pitch of the heel. This is a necessity since I have to stand in line before the shows and New York, in general, requires a lot of walking!

Friday was an amazing day since I was able to see Carmen Marc Valvo, Rebecca Minkoff, Lee Jean Youn, Academy of Art and Emerson. The designs on the runways were amazing and I was thrilled to have a sneak peek into the upcoming trends for the fall/winter 2014/2015 season! Just from Friday, I was already able to spot the importance of classic red and medium blue for the fall season. 

There are many more shows to see, so at the end of it all, I will have a complete trend report for you! Thank you so much for your support and stay tuned for more coverage from New York!
