Choose my Fashion Week Looks: Outfit I

So as I posted before I'm going to a few NYC Fashion Week events and decided to give myself a "Ways to Wear It" challenge. I will be posted 3 outfits and I want you all to choose which outfit I should wear to 3 different events. They will all feature my favorite Mustard yellow Forever 21 top. I don't know what it is about this top that just explains my whole personality but I love it. So here is look number 1. Keep in mind the 3 events I will be going to
1). IFB (International Fashion Bloggers Conference) an all day event complete with panel discussions, a lunch, and a party with a DJ afterwards
2). Bensoni Fashion Show (hopefully)
3). Jewelry Showcase Fashion Show that my friend is modeling in!


This is one of my favorite statement necklaces that I purchased at the Holiday Shops at Union Square. The brand is Modern Tibet. See more of it HERE!!!!!


I love the color blocking here!

Choose my Fashion Week Looks!

So I have a few events to attend for Fashion Week here in NYC. I'm so excited. I have decided to give myself a personal "Ways to Wear It" challenge for 3 events I will be attending during Fashion Week.
I love this mustard colored top I got last summer from Forever 21. I want to incorporate it into 3 different looks for 3 different events.

I want you to choose which outfit to wear to which event.
I will be attending the IFB (Independent Fashion Bloggers) Conference in NYC which will include a whole day of panels, a luncheon and later a party with a DJ! Can't wait!

Another day I will be attending the Bensoni Fashion Show (Fingers crossed, I'm still waiting on my confirmation).
Bensoni Spring 2011 Runway Show

Lastly I will be attending a Jewelry Fashion Show that my good friend Stephanie will be modeling in..soooo cool!
So keeping these different events in mind..you choose which of the next 3 outfits I post I should wear to each event. I will be posting the outfits in the next 3 days (Thurs/Fri and Sat) and you vote on Sunday! I could really use your help.
Thanks Fashionistas

I had the most intense Eargasm...

Ok so I have my shoegasm moments...you know when you round a corner and see a shoe and your mouth starts to water and your feet quiver. LOL. But recently I had an eargasm and it was awesome. My lobes literally rubbed themselves! Ok enough puns. I've been walking past this African shop on 125th Street for the past year and never gone in but for some reason a few days ago I did and to my surprise...a whole wall about 50 feet of nothing but African handmade earrings!!!!



 

I got 4 pair of awesome earrings for $20 can we say in unison fashion STEELE!!!!!!
I love the bold colors, the natural materials and that they are all so unique. I really have a thing for wire hoop earrings with stones if you haven't noticed lol. See more of my interesting and fun earrings HERE!!!!!

This shop is located on 125th St closer to Lenox Avenue. Unfortunately I didn't get the name of it but its very noticeable. If you are in the area please check it out! Also the owners are very sweet and nice. What do you fashionistas think of these earrings?? I think they'd be perfect for Spring!
