Hi everyone, hope Monday treated you well. I am excited to share my outfit that I wore to the first night of events for New York Fashion Week. I wore the below while stopping by the Runway Ready Room and Elaine Turner event this past Thursday. I LOVE everything about the season of fall, and I embrace the darker, neutral colors in full force. These Bella Luxx tuxedo stripe trousers are my new favorites. They are chic, yet I felt like I was wearing pajamas pants the entire night. I kept things simple with a black tank, new pumps and this adorable horn necklace by Margaret Elizabeth – a jewelry designer I recently discovered and really love so many of their pieces. If you saw my instagram from the Elaine Turner event, you will see the hat (in stores only) and bag I was majorly crushing on.

BRAIDED SIDE PART 101:
As always, I love hearing all your input and feedback about my posts and questions in general. In past posts, several of you mentioned how you enjoyed my hairstyle featured above, so I wanted to break down how easy it is to achieve!
- Lightly spray your hair with a soft hairspray (helps keep fly-aways down)
- Use your natural part line, but use the point of a comb to define and shape it
- Use that same end of the comb (see comb in picture below) to trace a two inch line down the left or right side of your head from your part to your ear
- Tie the bulk of your hair back and out of the way in a pony tail
- Start by your part and french braid that section of hair down to just behind your ear
- Secure with a clear elastic hair tie
- Presto!
