Another Coachella post, another drink in my hand. Who can say no to a morning mimosa while walking through the dreamy grounds of The Parker in Palm Springs? Every corner we took was out of a picturesque storybook with ivy covered bungalows to oversized hammocks to play around in. The fun didn't stop there - as soon as we entered the hotel, we were told to follow the B's that led to the shopbazaar event. We went through the maze, turning this way and that, and emerged at the lemonade stand and the ping pong tables. In between those was the entrance to the event where brands and businesses working with Harper's Bazaar had collaborated with one another to curate Coachella specific things such as bikinis, pool friendly jewelry, espadrilles, denim choices, and festival wear. I was ready to pick up a pair of Manebi espadrilles or Ancient Greek sandals but couldn't pick just one. Worn to the event was an all white ensemble with a splash of gold added from an old pair of Jimmy Choo's. 
Thank you to Harper's Bazaar, The Parker Palm Springs, and Otte NY for hosting such a lovely event!

NY fashion week begins soon so here's a little reminder of what it was like last season in September. I don't know if I'm committing the biggest blogger faux pas by doing such an immense 'throwback' post but (oh well) here goes. Filled with many of the city and its iconic cabs, frolics in Bryant Park, our new favourite place for coffee and bluegrass jams: The Randolph, familiar faces in foreign places, looks of contempt while waiting for a sandwich, a sprinkle of Harry Potter reference, and of course, avocado toast. For details on outifts, refer to here

P.S. I've now added my YouTube channel to my ever growing list of social media below.

NYFW ended several weeks ago but let's face it, fashion's always relevant to us bloggers. With that being said, here's a mini play by play of the hours leading up to and during the Bec & Bridge trunkshow held at Owen boutique in the Meatpacking District. My lovely friend Andie helped me dress the part by allowing me to sift through her beautiful selection at her showroom. I was immediately drawn to this skirt with its hard hitting juxtaposition from its innocent baby pink hue & tough croc/pebble-like material all held together with the help of a staple gun. Carpentry tools trying to rear its head in the fashion world is something I am so okay with. Super comfortable crochet top to keep things nonchalant and it just so happened that my clutch had the same pastel palette to my skirt. If you've not checked out the Aussie label yet, I urge you to do so now: Bec & Bridge.
What else have you got to do on a Wednesday night?

Special thanks to Phillip for hosting the event at your paper bag filled boutique. Kisses!
