What a change from NYC lights, taxi cabs, catwalks, and gorgeous dinners every night! I’ll take it, though; it’s always good to be home, all nestled in with my li’l chicks, and ready for fall. So, not only did I go back home, I seemed to have gone all the way back to the 90s. The denim
New York Fashion Week: What I Wore (final night)
Alas, this is my final “What I Wore” post (sad face). But there’s no need for tears and despairing, because Haley will be sharing her NYFW outfit posts this weekend! Hooray! I jest; I hope you know we don’t take our posts that seriously (most of the time). These photos were taken our final evening
New York Fashion Week: What I Wore Day 2
So, this trip was not just about fashion week, for my team and I. We had several shoots, projects, and meetings to cram in, but most importantly, for many of us, it was our first time meeting each other in person!! I’ve known Haley for over two years now, and speak/text with her almost every single
Sassy-Casz
Whew! We’ve been busier than ever here at SMP, and the enormous, juicy-sweet cherry on top is that we’re attending Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week next week!!

Trending: It's All the Rave (Print)
So, electric “rave-inspired” prints are currently trending, and are expected to be a major trend this fall. But before we get into all that, I, personally, want to make something really clear about this trend business. I could honestly care less if what I’m wearing is “on trend,” or not; I’m too old, too busy
Stripes to the Max(i)
Overused terms like “Now and Later” and “Transitional Style” seem to be taking over our little fashion worlds by storm like a torrential trend, and although I’m pretty weary of them, their over-use is for a valid reason. It’s almost fall, but not quite. Although mornings/evenings might be feeling cooler, it’s still hottt during the day.
Bordeaux Blues
I know. The temps barely dipped into the 70s, and I busted out some fall-wear. It’s the hat’s fault; I got that bordeaux goodness in the mail recently, and haddd to wear it! At least I didn’t pair it with fur (yet). I’m not that ridiculous (yet). Oregon Wearing: Chambray Shirt: Madewell. Jeans: ASOS. Hat:

The Backpack Trend: Going My Way?
So, in case overalls and Birkenstocks weren’t junior enough, backpacks were also added to the mix as a major trend this spring. They will also continue to be one of the new “It” bags this fall. After trying overalls (not so bad!), this trend is a piece of cake. They come in all kinds of grown-up
