What I Wore: NYFW Day 1

If you follow me on social media, you'll know that I went to New York Fashion Week this year! It's been almost 2 years since I been in New York & I was so excited to go. I always come alive there! With that being said I came up with the bright idea to go maybe a week & a half ago! So, planning the wardrobe was very last minute. I know, I'm crazy.

Closet Whisperer x NYFW: Nolcha's Fashion Week

On Tuesday I attended Nolcha's Spring/ Summer '15 collection of emerging designers. I'm always on the lookout for what's new & next in fashion so I couldn't wait for this show. It was a packed house with notable celebs such as Rocsi Diaz, Russell Westbrook & my newest boo Johnny Wujek. Who knew Katie Perry's costume designer was such a cutie patootie?! 

CLOSET WHISPERER PICKS: 

#1 CHARLES & RON

The 1st designers to present were Charles & Ron which i loved! I could see myself wearing a lot of the pieces. It was very feminine & I loved the use of soft colors & print. Definitely a designer duo to watch. 

#2  Sofia Arana

I also enjoyed Sophia Arana's very girly collection.  She had me with the maxi!

 #3 Katty Xiomara

 I also thought Katty Xiomara shined with her collection mixed with structured & flowy pieces. I'd wear the last look in a heartbeat. Easy breezy & good pair of pumps is very much my style.

Designers: Monstruosite', Schuyler 4, Oiselle

Overall, The Nolcha Fashion Week presentation was well balanced showcasing a total of 13 diverse designers with their own point of view. I really enjoyed it!

Monday Motivation: Enjoy Figuring Out Who You are

I've always liked Zoe Saldana's confidence & how blunt she is. So, when I saw this interview that she did with Amanda de Cabanet last year, I wanted to share it with you guys. My favorite part was around the 3:00 mark where she says: 

"I know who I am. I love who I am. I like what I do, and I like how I do it. I like my mistakes and I like the pace at which I learn from my mistakes. I don't want to be anybody else but me, and by knowing this, I want to continue figuring out who the f*ck I am."

I'm real big on positive thinking and affirmations & I thought this would be a good one to repeat especially on those days where I feel a little unsure of who I am & where I'm headed in life. Kudos to Zoe!

I D.efine L.ife Interview Series Feat. Phil The God

 

Phil Reid, better known as Phil The God is our latest feature for the I D.efine L.ife interview series. I met him when we were both interns and I've been inspired by his growth ever since. The young film director has been making major moves building quite the resume working with brands and notable artists such as Common, Diggy Simmons, and Jill Scott just to name a few.  Phil took time out of his busy schedule to discuss his journey as well as share sound advice for other aspiring visionaires.

Nice, France

Overlooking The Mediterranean Sea

 Once upon a time The Closet Whisperer was actually a flight attendant for a major airline. At the time I didn't have a blog where I was the main focus to share my experiences, but now I do. So, BOOM! Let's get into it. I traveled to some pretty dope places around the world & one of the most beautiful places I went to was Nice, France. Seriously guys, this place is a walking post card. Sorry for the photo quality in advance, I took them all on my iPhone. Any who......
