Kids Fashion Week: Alivia Simone

Peyton and I attended our second Kids Fashion Week presented by Petite Parade this past weekend.  Peyton is a year older and boy did she enjoy it.  Peyton hammed it up for the paparazzi, made new friends and then told me she wanted to be in the shows when she turns five.  We'll add that to our vision board.  One designer I was excited to see was Alivia Simone.  The designers play on patterns and textures along with detailed design caught my attention earlier this year.  Here are some of my favorite looks that hit the runway from her Spring/Summer 2015 collection.

Weekend Style: Peyton in the City

Our New York City trip was a few weeks ago but it feels like we just got back.  You would have thought Peyton has been to NYC before.  She acted like a true New Yorker (but a little nicer).  She loved the hustle and bustle, bright lights and tall buildings.

Bonnie Young Show at #petiteParade

Peyton and I returned from the petiteParade Kids Fashion about a week ago and we are still talking about it.  One of the most anticipated shows during Kids Fashion Week was Bonnie Young.  After working as Creative Director for Donna Karan for 16 years, Bonnie Young started her children's luxury couture line.  The Bonnie Young fashion show was packed and standing room only (you know I made sure P and I had a seat)!  This show brought out top magazine fashion editors and celebrity kids, like P Diddy's girls who sat front row dressed in her designs. 

Video: Rachel Zoe on Motherhood at Lucky Fabb

Hearing Rachel Zoe, one of the top stylist in the game made going to Lucky Fabb in New York all worth it!  She is such an inspiration.  I give her even more props since she became a mother.  I love that she is so into motherhood and loves to talk about her cutie patootie son Skylar!

Here is a video of Rachel Zoe talking about motherhood and managing it all.

I am sure all you moms can relate to what she is talking about.  It was hard for me to leave Peyton for my trips to New York.  I wish I had the money to bring Peyton everywhere with me!  For now we will just hang in Atlanta!  Were you a workaholic before having a child?  Have your views changed after having a baby?

This awesome video was taken using my Verizon Galaxy S III!

What I'm Wearing to BlogHer: Suakoko Betty!

I am headed to BlogHer in NYC in August!  So you know I gotta get my Carrie Bradshaw on!  I am ecstatic to announce that I will be rocking Suakoko Betty!  Suakoko Betty (pronounced SWAH-ko-ko) specializes in using African inspired prints with contemporary designs!  I don't know if you remember but I started stalking, obsessing falling in love with Suakoko Betty after meeting the designer Charlene at a fashion show earlier this year!

Launched in 2007, suakoko betty (pronounced SWAH-ko-ko) transforms authentic West African wax and resist-dye prints into dresses and separates that are flattering and current.
