Yesterday was the last day of summer! What a bummer!... But it's okay. Even though I am not in love with fall, there are many things to look forward to during that season. Last weekend, my boyfriend suggested that we spend our day with two of our closest friends, Andrew and Bianca. These two are amazing people with great personalities; so why not spend such a wonderful day with them.

In the heart of Dumbo, there we were, walking from cargo container to cargo container admiring the collections of photography create by emerging and established photographers. Each collection had a story to tell. Whether it was the happy days of being a child growing up in the seventies or a tragedy and the will power of perseverance that allowed the individual to overcome their struggle. Many of the photographic images resonated with me. Especially those that portrayed the effects of war and poverty. I have always been sensitive when viewing people in need. That's why I am as charitable as I am.

Besides the photography, there are many photo opportunities available for you to experience at Photoville. I had a really lovely day there and you should check it out before it ends on September 28th, 2014.

This is what I wore for my day of fun.!

Thank you for reading!

As various New York Fashion Week events were being orchestrated in the Big Apple. My family and I traveled to Atlantic City to celebrate my sister's birthday (This being a substitution for Las Vegas) . Of course, I wanted to be in the mix of events happening in New York....but I knew what was a priority for me. I said to myself "It's only one day of fashion week events that I would not be attending.So missing one day of events wouldn't kill me!"

When we got there, our first stop was a cute little Mexican restaurant. By the time we had finished eating...everything was closed! But I couldn't be mad. We had left NYC mid-afternoon and when we got to Atlantic City it was late. After dinner, we hit the casinos and took a lovely walk on the boardwalk.

For that night, I put together the cutest ombre look!
