New York Fashion Week looks so glamourous from the outside; and it is! The nitty-gritty of the inside, is a bit more exhausting then you might think.

If you have ever been to a trade show, imagine working at one from 9am until 10pm, every day, for one week. Then, picture yourself rushing to an Uber every hour to get from booth to booth. This is what fashion week is like. There are shows every hour, and they are spread out at three main locations; Spring Studios, Pier 59 (Chelsea Piers), and Industria. Then, to complicate things, some designers book their own show locations which can be anywhere in Manhattan!

It can be extremely stressful trying to get from one show to another when the Uber ride is twenty minutes, and you only have ten. Then, try to picture yourself in this scenario wearing heels, and carrying a heavy handbag with a DSLR camera inside. It is quite exhausting! My left shoulder and my neck ache just thinking about it!

I am so thankful for that moment each night when I am back in my hotel room and I can relax, check out the photos I took throughout the day, chat with you about the shows on social media, drink a hot cocoa, and cozy up in the softest pajamas on Earth. I don’t know how I could get comfortable enough to relax after an exhausting day of work without my SOMA Intimates pajamas!

Dawn, from Fashion Should Be Fun and I, shared a room at New York Fashion Week. It is always more fun to do fashion week with a friend. We both love our pajamas from SOMA and were so thankful to be able to unwind from a busy day with them. The fabric is so soft; and they fit perfectly!

If you haven’t seen SOMA Intimates pajamas collection, you should definitely check them out. They have so many cute PJ sets you can wear now, and well into the spring season. I have two pairs of them for now into spring; they are the best!

You can find my PJ set from these photos online here. Check out the whole collection at SomaIntimates.com.

What is your favorite way to unwind after a busy work day?


Thanks for stopping by!

Donate your bras to those in need with SOMA Intimates

“When women support women, good things happen.” -SOMA Intimates

Since 2010, SOMA has helped to collect 1,527,807 bras for women who are affected by domestic violence and/or homelessness. Why is SOMA Intimates collecting bras? Well, think about what you donate when you collect items for those in need. What do you do with your old bras? Many people think they can’t donate them, and bras end up in landfills instead of the hands of women who need them. Bras happen to be the least donated item of clothing for women who are in shelters.

Please join me in supporting SOMA Intimates effort to collect bras for women in need through I Support The Girls. This fabulous organization distributes bras and hygiene products to over 300 shelters in the United States, and abroad.

Here is how you can help! Bring your new or gently used bras to any SOMA Intimates location and donate them. SOMA Intimates will reward you for your generosity by giving you $10 off a new, full-price bra or $20 off two new, full-price bras. This fabulous bra drive is going on now through February 27, 2018.

Please visit SOMA.com/GiveBras for more details. To find a SOMA Intimates store near you, please click here. To learn more about I Support The Girls, please visit their website at ISupportTheGirls.org.

You can also help spread the word! Tell your friends about this initiative and post about it on social media. Don’t forget to use the hashtag #SomaCares and tag @SOMAIntimates to help people see your post!

Thank you for your generosity and supporting this much-needed drive.

XOXO

*This is not a sponsored post-I don’t accept money for charity or fundraising. I did receive a gifted bra for my participation in the drive. This did not affect my decision to post about the drive. I posted about it because charity, volunteerism, and fundraising is near and dear to my heart. Thank you for your support!

This week, I am cozy at home getting ready for the holidays. Christmas will be at my house this year, and there will more people then I am used to hosting, so I have a lot of prep work to do!

I am so thankful for these cozy pajamas, which double as lounge-wear, by SOMA Intimates. They are perfect for wearing around the house, and catching some Zzzzz’s; which I am sure I will need after decorating, cooking, and getting ready for the holidays. They fabric is so soft, and extremely high quality. Love that!

They would also make a great gift! I’m getting some for my Mom, shhhh, don’t tell her. You can check out my cozy lounge-wear/pajamas at SOMA.com. They are also available in heather grey; so cute!

Are you staying cozy at home this week too?

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
