Insta-Recap: Cupcake Addictions, a Flawless Bridget Kelly and My New Kate Spade Boots!

It’s a new week, time for “Insta-Recap”! First, I’d like to thank my fab reader Nigel Isaiah. He contributes to Lucky Magazine and said I inspired him to create the fun Insta-Recap that he did on CFDA and friends! Love it, hun!

This past week was another fashionable adventure: I interviewed the gorgeous Bridget Kelly at celebrity hair stylist, Keith Campbell’s, book launch. I also attended an event for Narciso Rodriguez’s new line at Kohls and shot a playful vintage fashion story in the park! A highlight of my week was definitely catching up with my mentor Constance White, the Editor-in-Chief of ESSENCE for a fun pizza dinner! These pics and more when you read on!

Please join me in welcoming the newest addition to my shoe collection! Her name is Tavie and she is a fierce pair of mod-inspired gold-heeled leather boots by Kate Spade. They are sophisticated, sleek and ulta-comfy! Welcome Tavie! Thanks so much to the fab folks at Kate Spade : )

I attended celeb stylist, Keith Campbell‘s, book event last week and while there I had the fab chance to interview the gorgeous and incredibly sweet Bridget Kelly! She complemented me on my blog and likes my turbans! It was so much fun talking with her about everything from her fav designers to relationships. She wore a bodycon DVF frock and totally rocked it! More on Bridget soon when I post our interview!

I channeled my inner kid for a vintage fashion story in the park! I am wearing an H&M sheer shirt, vintage skirt, turban–>silk scarf courtesy of Shimmer & Bliss, YSL heels and my bag courtesy of Handbag Heaven. Story shot by Shawn Walker!

I stopped over by one of my fav places: ESSENCE Magazine headquarters to have dinner with my mentor the Editor-in-Chief, Constance White. We had delish pizza and fries at Bobby Vans. It was so wonderful to catch up with her and hear her valuable words of wisdom. She is my idol and I love her dearly. : )

After dinner with Constance, I headed to the Narciso Rodriguez for DesignNation at Kohls event. I love his new runway-inspired collection and everything is under $150. Narciso drew inspiration from Istanbul while designing this modern and minimalist line.  It goes on sale Nov 7 at 7am! Celebs in attendance: Katie Holmes and Julianna Margulies. The gift bag was quite epic and one of the several items of clothing I received was this fab pair of silk pajama pants below!

My Narcico Rodriguez for DesignNation pajama pants are my new fav item! They are insanely comfortable and the vibrant color makes me swoon! : )

For more info on this beautiful collection, click Here! The amazing people over at Kohls sent me this 10% off coupon code: TENBLOG that you can use on kohls.com until December 29th! It can be combined with one other code, so shop away!

Can’t wait till Narciso’s collection at Kohls debuts next Wednesday, Nov 7!

Another thing that’s been making me swoon lately are the red velvet cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcakes in Soho. (The owners also have a show on TLC called DC Cupcakes!) These perfect little velvety treats are Everything! I have acquired a terrible addiction and really must stop myself. Le Sigh. But at least I can admire their cuteness!

My boyfriend and I took a bike ride in Central Park Saturday afternoon. Here was my camo look for the occasion! I am wearing a Vintage army jacket, Shimmer & Bliss scarf, H&M shades and Forever 21 brogues. Fun day!

I came across this little nugget of wisdom while Instagram surfing and had to share it with you all – my fab followers!

As always thank you for letting my share my fashion adventures with you! Stay tuned for next weeks Insta-Recap!
