NYFW …. The clothes! What to wear when you attend NWFW In the Fall….With this being My First Time, not a lot of time to plan and unusually warm weather, I felt I did pretty good on the packing and choosing the right outfits for for shows, travel, sightseeing and Nightlife. I didn’t feel out of place or uncomfortable in any situation but I did learn  pack only clothes that photograph well ( I wore a pretty dress that I love to the Social House event and It doesn’t photograph well…. It was perfect for Brunch which I knew It would be but I knew in my heart it wasn’t going to photograph well and it didn’t!) not having time to change to get to Social House…. I missed out on Having some great photograph opportunities….

I would make changes for sure….. Pack More skirts & dresses,  only clothes that photograph well, I didn’t need as much jewelry as I packed…. ( narrow down Jewelery to go with each outfit!) being my first time I brought Casual and dressy for each outfit❤️ I also brought to Many shoes Way to Many Shoes Narrow down to My Favorite Black Heels, shoes to match my dressier dress, 1 pair of sandals, pair of Tennis shoes and 1 flip flop and 1 Bootie or wedge! Really Take the time to match. Shoes to multiple outfits…Shoes weigh a lot and you really need the spare weight!

Things I packed that I was so thankful for…. My black waxy leather jeans I wore 3 times and made 3 completely different outfits with different tops, jacket, shoes and accessories (sorry we were rushing so much of the Time we forgot pictures of some outfits) my leather jacket… Not because it was cold (it was unbearably hot a couple of the days) but to add a cool factor on your shoulders! My Hobo bag ❤️ goes cross body for sightseeing And travel day’s, 1 pair of trendy jeans, shoe pads, gel for the heels, foot cream, Bandades, 2 portable charges, airborne and aspirin.

More Packing Tips in a feature Post!

Hope you find some inspiration in some of what We wore for New York Fashion Week ,

Melanoma Cancer is deadly and very different from Skin Cancer.

Melanoma cancer is deadly,  early detection is key, before it can spread to lymph nodes, organs blood.

This little spit fire is 23🤍 I can’t believe how f This little spit fire is 23🤍
I can’t believe how fast time has flown by 🤍

It’s been so fun watching him grow from a  little pistol into this young man🤍and amazing New daddy. 

His determination, and strong will, made him a great athlete, while his tender heart  and sensitivity & caring has made him kind to others. He’s loyal, has a strong work ethic and a joy for adventure. 

He’s our boy that would want to save every kitten and brought us home our beloved Binx and Little Miss…

The pickiest eater ever, until about the age of 12, and  He wouldn’t try a burger until age 13! (Thank goodness that’s all changed) 😉

So many memories , yet doesn’t seem like it could already be 23 years! 
Proud of the man and watching him become a daddy has been one of our biggest joys🤍🤍

Happy 23rd 🎂🎉Hampton Steel we couldn’t love you more🤍🤍🤍
