Louis Vuitton literally set the holiday season off in New York City. A reason to be home, and a reason to make that visit you’ve been long thinking of.
During my daily social media check in’s, I’ve been seeing images of the colorful Louis Vuitton Stephen Sprouse grafitti logo and a pretty cool Louis Vuitton train station stop plastered everywhere. Though this event was free, there were crowds and long lines all the time, something I don’t have the energy for. So when my SA enlightened me that there’s also a reservation system with time slots so we wouldn’t have to wait in line I was ecstatic. In addition to this reservation system, walk-in’s are also welcomed.
Having just got back from Iceland a couple days ago I was exhausted, but this would probably be the best time to go, as I can get additional information from an employee. So I hopped in my jeep, snapped a selfie to update Snapchat on my moves (did it happen if I did n’t post to snapchat?) and headed to VVV. Volez, Voguez, Voyagez Exhibition is about the House of Louis Vuitton, the evolution of the brand through the evolution of travel. Two of my favorite things combined, travel and fashion. This exhibition really gave me a more respected sense for the brand, seeing its humble beginnings to a billion dollar fashion house. Curated by Olivier Saillard, the exhibition told the story and growth of the French luxury House of Louis Vuitton from 1854 to the present. Being inspired by the travel industry, Louis Vuitton created huge high quality luxury trunks for the rich and famous in the 1800’s for train traveling to downsizing and creating beautiful duffels to fit on planes. The story was truly amazing to learn, with everything being on display including original receipt books to original photos. The exhibition takes you through a time machine from the past to the present showing his creations of that time. It was mind blowing how everything was preserved to perfection.
I love how they shared popular designs from the creative director of that time and even the Louis Vuitton X Supreme collaboration. A few of the pieces even brought back nostalgic memories such as the miroir collection that I used to see Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian wear back in the day. The exhibition was truly inspiring and I encourage everyone to visit even if you aren’t into fashion. The history alone will move you in a positive way.
At the end there is even a gift shop where you can purchase accessories like stickers, city guides and even a limited edition luggage tag. On your way out there are one of three Louis Vuitton X Pintrill pins that you get for free as you exit. The exhibition is now through January 7, 2018. Grab your tickets here and enjoy! xoxo

The event that marks the summer is officially back after a 3-year hiatus. The Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic is returning to Liberty State Park this June!
It’s been a while since I’ve been on a long haul vacation. What I love most about longer vacations is the variety of outfits I can serve. I spent a total of 9 days between Senegal and The Gambia. Here are some looks you can achieve on your next vacation.
I spent a wonderful week soaking up the sun rays on the remarkable island of Roatan, Honduras. A much-needed getaway to say the least, with the emergence of the way we vacationed pre-pandemic. With that being said, what is a vacation without vacation looks? Here is everything I wore and some inspo for your future travels.
In today’s efforts to combat overconsumption and become more sustainable, a lot of people are turning to vintage and pre-owned items. This isn’t something that is new for me, as I literally shop anywhere that sells clothes. However, when making certain purchases I do find it more valuable to be to go the vintage route.
Sometimes I look at the items with tags and think to myself “I could’ve invested in Amazon stocks with that” or that money could’ve gone towards something that I really really want.
For me, personally; comfort is always key, but presentation is ALWAYS everything! It doesn’t matter where you go ladies. Whether you’re running errands, going to the gym, teleworking, traveling, or late night creeping to “ya boo tings” house you gotta look good doing it.
As we are all aware, the entire world has completely shifted from freedom to complete uncertainty. Not knowing what tomorrow will bring is enough to keep us anxious and worried. For my fashionistas I know you are dying to debut your daily drip but that isn’t possible unless you’re one of those “get dressed to sit in the living room” type.
As you may know the Christian Louboutin Sample sale is a highly coveted event that only a few lucky individuals are invited to. The “important” fashionistas like celebrities, magazine editors and now influencers are invited to shop. The event happens twice a year and I was lucky enough to attend both this year.
Hey aunties, I just got back from an enviable trip to the South of France. It was everything I imagined it to be plus more! You can read my all about the parts that I visited here. Believe it or not, I packed very light and everything fit in y carry on bag. My trip was a very short 4 days and here’s what I wore.
I save up all year and mostly purchase my designer items in Europe because in addition to them already being less expensive I also get VAT tax back on top of that, making savings to about 30%. This applies to most big European brands.
Many women dream of buying their most coveted luxury item in Paris to feel chic, glamourous and save a lot of money. Many will argue its the “best” savings, I am here to tell you it is NOT!
A highlight of Turkey is their amazing carpets. Most countries that make carpets only knot them one time, Turkey is known for their sturdy double knot carpets which they rave about. During my time in Cappadocia, Turkey I visited a couple carpet shops.
Tokyo is known as a fashion capital outside of the Big Four. They offer your not so typical everyday looks with quirky layers and accessories.
Coachella has beautifully shifted from just a musical festival to also being as fashion showcase. From Boho Chic to skimpy cow girl, the fashion is definitely eye catching. Check out my looks for the weekend.
Aspen during ski season is a reason to show off your lovely warm weather garments. From fur coats to snow suits. Something that isn’t promoted often, winter vacations bring a different fashion taste.
