Hi, loves! I hope you're all doing well. Today, I'm bursting with excitement to share my recent adventure at New York Fashion Week (NYFW), and let me tell you, it was an experience I will cherish forever. This weekend was a whirlwind of fashion, inspiration, and new friendships, and I can't wait to give you a peek into my NYFW journey.
Friday: A Chic Welcome Party
My NYFW adventure began on Friday, September 8th. I arrived in the bustling heart of the Big Apple, ready to dive headfirst into the world of fashion. The day started with a fabulous welcome party hosted by College Fashionista at the Creators Loft. I was immediately drawn to the warm and inviting atmosphere.
For this soirée, I decided to channel my style, which I would describe as chic and mature for my age (I'm 20, by the way!). My outfit of choice was a stunning black strapless dress, paired with a sleek bun and sparkly heels. It was the perfect blend of feminine sophistication and youthful charm.
At the party, I had the pleasure of networking and meeting fellow influencers, each with their own unique styles and stories. We shared fashion tips, sustainability hacks, and plenty of laughs. It was the ideal way to kick off a weekend of fashion festivities.
After the welcome party, I couldn't resist the allure of a Prada pop-up event showcasing their newest fragrance. A spritz of their latest scent left me feeling effortlessly elegant and ready for the weekend ahead. However, as someone passionate about cruelty-free and vegan products, I won't be purchasing the perfume for myself until Prada stops testing on animals...
Saturday: Meeting Influencers and Sustainable Fashion
Saturday was all about soaking in knowledge and inspiration. I started my day by attending a talk by the TikTok sensation, @IzziPoopi. Her insights into the world of content creation were not only informative but also inspiring. I've always strived to maintain a sense of myself within my style, and Izzi's perspective added another layer of creativity to my fashion journey.
After the talk, I had the pleasure of meeting some of the sweetest girls ever, and we decided to grab lunch together. It's incredible how fashion can bring like-minded individuals together, creating bonds that last a lifetime.
Later in the day, I attended a presentation by Sustainable Baddie and Natalia Trevino Amaro, highlighting local, sustainable, and indie designers. As someone deeply committed to sustainability, this event was a dream come true. The passion and creativity displayed by these designers inspired me to continue advocating for eco-conscious fashion choices.
For my Saturday look, I opted for a rented Selkie dress adorned with a neutral plaid pattern. With bubble braids and a pair of vegan Doc Martens for a masculine touch, I felt like I had walked straight out of a fashion fairytale.
Sunday: A Farewell to Remember
As the weekend drew to a close, Sunday was bittersweet. I attended a farewell party, where I genuinely almost shed a tear saying goodbye to the incredible friends I had made over the weekend. NYFW had not only filled my heart with fashion inspiration but also connected me with beautiful souls who share my passion.
For my final NYFW look, I chose a sheer plaid set, accompanied by a bra and underwear from Parade, a brand I adore and even have an affiliate code with (NATALIELEWAND for 20% off). It was the perfect blend of style and sustainability, reflecting my commitment to eco-conscious choices.
But there was an extra dash of glamour to my Saturday look. I was fortunate enough to wear the newest Kate Spade purse, the Dakota Croc-embossed Small Crossbody in Rock Garden. While it was made of leather and therefore not in line with my usual ethical choices, there was no denying that it was a beautiful bag. It added a touch of sophistication and style to my outfit.
As I made my way back to upstate New York, I couldn't help but reflect on the incredible weekend I had just experienced. NYFW had not only given me a front-row seat to the world of fashion but had also introduced me to the kindest souls who share my values and dreams.
I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to College Fashionista and Kate Spade New York for this unforgettable opportunity. NYFW has left an indelible mark on my journey as a content creator and a fashion enthusiast. I can't wait to share more sustainable fashion adventures with all of you. Until next time, stay sweet, stay stylish, and stay true to your passions!
