Love Letter # 5- HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!

Dear Fashion,

Today actually marks the 1 year Anniversary of the start of my blog and the day I decided to rekindle my relationship you. Within the past year we have been through a lot of obstacles that the journey became difficult and overwhelming for me to blog regularly. Especially just dealing with the those who are envious of our love for one another trying to break us up but, we have been through much worst and there will always be ones who try to covet your happiness because they feel they just can. The main point to focus on is that I am much happier than I ever been. I am glad that I've took this route and decided to stick it out. I'm not giving up on us. I know in time it will become a lot easier and more rewarding. There is always room for growth and I cant wait to see where this takes us. Until then,  HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!

Love Always,
E.

NYFW Emerge! Spring 2013 Fashion Show

On Tuesday September 11th, stylist friend Zabeth Chang  and I had the opportunity to be guests during New York Fashion Week's Emerge! Spring 2013 Fashion Show, at the Broad Street Ballroom. Emerge! Fashion Runway Show is one of the top emerging designer fashion collective showcases during New York Fashion week.  The top emerging designers from around the world showcase their newest collections each season during this much anticipated event. Out of 100 applicants 6 were chosen to present there collection. I got to see the amazing collections from designers, Benny Martin- Catou Designs, Jane by Design Actress, India de Beaufort- Ballyhoo, Arefeh Mansori- Arefeh Fahion, Franklin Rowe- Franklin Rowe International, Taneasha Prunty- Gidi Designs, and Natasha Lazarovic- Temna Fialka. On top of seeing the wonderful collections and seeing a lot of familiar faces of people I have already met along this journey in the industry, I had the chance to meet a lot of wonderful new people including the Creator & Producer of Emerge! Dionne Williams, Project Runway Designer, Terri Stevens, one of the youngest runway models, Diva Devanna and last but not least Dwight Eubanks from Real Housewives of Atlanta. Everyone was so genuinely sweet. Thank you Jerry Jordan Brown, it was a night to remember!
