Fashion Week: NYFW SS14
Stella got her groove back. My loving husband gave me the weekend off knowing how much I love NY fashion week. It is after all, my real, first love. He volunteered to take the baby and himself to his parent’s place so that I could have the whole place to myself and have some alone time. No poopy diapers, no mouths to feed, no one to look after but me. This allowed me to luxuriate in all the things a mom never gets to do like sleep in, exfoliate and take a nice long bath. Ahhhh! As if that weren’t great enough, I also got to enjoy shopping for a new birthday outfit, see 5 fashion shows and hang out with a great (fellow mommy) friend. That’s how I got my groove back.
During the day, I also attended what was the best NYFW lounge I had ever been to. And I’ve been to tons during my 13? 14? years of attending in NY, Dubai and LA fashion weeks. Avant Collective (where most of the below pictures came from) did a fabulous job putting together a peaceful haven for fashion bloggers, editors and insiders. The venue was modern and spacious (unlike the usual crammed in spots where everyone’s laptop and charging wires inevitably end up tangling up with one another). The complimentary services were plentiful (manis, massages, and even your own personal fashion illustration from Jane Paints Beauty! And there was a beautiful gourmet chocolate bar, coffee and hors d’eouvres station care of Fika chocklad (which I’m savoring and devouring as I type). Plus the staff and vendors were all wonderful. It was really delightful to be there.
This post is about a month late, I know. But better late than never! I’m still trying to balance my time between personal blogging / branching out this business with mom and household duties. Which reminds me, I’ve started a new FB page to correspond to the popular Instagram @fab_kids site I just created. If you like fashion, wait ’til you see these minifashionistas! Follow @fab_kids on IG and please like the new page, Fab Kids today!
Thanks for reading and have a great week!
