On a hot and humid Saturday afternoon Mara Hoffman debuted her light and airy Spring 2015 collection appropriately named "The Sunrirsers." This Spring Hoffman found inspiration in everything that is light, and it truly was. Her fist piece sent down the run was a white linen button down with a pair of white cut-off culottes, white brim baseball cap and white shoes. Though Hoffman went for a brighter collection and cut down on her usual tribal prints she kept to her cool boho style, flowy dresses, crop tops, and wide leg pants. The make-up matched the style with a nude face and messy beachy braids.

Once again the show was packed and it was hard for me to see the the clothes in its entirety. From the view that I had, I loved the hats, prints, and the messy braids. I truly wish I could have enjoyed the show and see the full looks, but with the set up change that was made inside the Salon tent it's hard to get a good view from standing. You really need to find the sweet spot in there. After viewing the collection online did I truly notice that Hoffman is refining her ashetic and adding more pants into her collection. There are more tailored looks then just beautiful boho dresses. I love that she is showcasing her talent and her use of colors (or sometime lack of colors). I think its a bold move for her to move away from her typical tribal prints and go into more playful use of colors and solids.

What do you think of Mara Hoffman's Spring 2015?

Day 5 was all about the boho look. This was actually an outfit that I had planned to wear Saturday but since it was too warm out Saturday I opted to wear this on Day 5 since it was casual for a day time look and dressy enough for the Glam dinner that I attended. This look also is super comfy! I scored these pants on sale at Anthropologie for $30! As soon as I saw them I knew I needed them in my wardrobe and glad I did!

Under Armour #IWILLWHATIWANT Event with Glam Media

Thursday night I was invited by Glam Media to attend Under Armour's #IWILLWHATIWANT event on the roof of the Hudson Mercantile. When someone says there will be fashion, a fitness class, and cocktails...then I'M THERE! I don't talk much on here about my fitness routine but if you follow me on Twitter and Instagram you know that I love a good work. Under Armour is a fitness brand that not only is about fitness but really promotes strong woman (mind, body, and soul). Their new campaign #IWILLWHATIWANT truly proves that point by picking woman like Misty Copeland, Lindsay Vonn, and now Gisele Bundchen. Each of these woman faced diversity and who are strong bold in their fields. These women are truly doing what they want and killing it along the way. When the Misty Copeland campaign hit YouTube I couldn't help but get chills. There is something about their ads that really drive it home for me, that makes me want to push my workout sessions a little harder. So when Glam Media asked for my attendance I knew this was a night not to miss.

Under Armour not only provided an amazing trainer, Natalie Uhling (check her out!) to kick our butts for an hour but also provided all our workout clothes for all attendees and guest. Of course I brought my husband as my plus one since we work out all the time together. We do bootcamp and kettle bell training as well as we have been training for the Civilian Military Combine but Natalie Uhling really made me work muscles I never knew I had. My butt was literally hurting by the end of the night. As intense as it was I loved every minute of it. I mean, how could you not when you have a beautiful view of the Empire State Building and great music blasting.

I can't thank Under Armour and Glam Media for this night to remember. This is getting filed into the I feel very blessed for how far I've come in the blogging world. To be apart of a campaign that is amazingly noteworthy...I just feel so...blessed.

Sunday was much cooler then Saturday...although in the sun it was still pretty warm. Although I must say I was happy that I wore this sweater as the AC was on full blast in the tents. Anyway this Aritzia sweater is my new favorite sweater that I own. I have a feeling its going to be a staple in my closet this fall.

Do you have any stable pieces yet for this fall?

Friday night designer August Getty made his first fashion week debut under the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Tents. His Spring 2015 show was feminine and whimsy. Getty's collection was a perfect mix of girly, sexy, and fierceness. Pastel pinks and purples were mixed into this collection that was filled with black and white pieces. He drew inspiration from the flowers he would draw as a kid while at his family's botanical garden.

This collection was a great fashion week debut. His clothes moved well and had a sense of wonder. Remembrance is important when you are a starting designer and there were pieces in the collection that stood out, including the black and white dress with the oversized skirt. Which was one of my favorite pieces.

What do you think of August Getty's debut collection?
