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 ,

Part 2 Summer Time favorite Moment’s… A little Sa Part 2 
Summer Time favorite Moment’s…
A little Saturday Series, I am doing to finish out Summer…

We officially have 3 more weeks left of Summer☀️🪴🪏🌻

I thought it would be Fun to share some moments that make my “favorites”❤️

🚨Come Back Next Saturday to see what made my list….

Today’s “Summer Moment”
Exploring the state we live in..
Ben and I have always loved embracing where we live, by getting out and exploring..
Doing stay-cations, pretty drives, enjoying the great outdoors and exploring fun little towns and the charming small business that fill them.

We love a good day date and Midway, located outside of Deer Valley, is a charming 🇨🇭Swiss town, that we’ve enjoyed bring our family to for years. 

It’s evolved over the years, (know for hosting “Swiss Days” 🇨🇭 the first weekend in September), is full of darling small business, from Cute gift & home decor shops, farm stores, several delicious restaurants, a charming book store, and something our family loves several farm to table shopping and eating establishments. 

If you love to support ranches, farmers and small local business, this is a must visit town. 
⛰️Surrounded by stunning mountains, green pastures and gorgeous ranches. 

Here’s a few of our favorites:⬇️
@havenhaus_co 
@ballerinafarmstore 
@thedaintypearco 
@folkloremidway 
@midway_mercantile 
@hebervalleycheese 

The @zermattutah is our favorite Charming  Swiss 🇨🇭Hotel to stay at, and our boys always loved they’re pool in the winter😉

Tell me, what’s something you do in the summer to make “moment’s”?

Do you like to do a little home refresh?
I do… A cozy candle, add in a few warmer colors, a Throw and a accent  pillow or two🍂🍁

Maybe a new coffee table book, a little accent piece or two….

I headed into Homegoods and found a few  Cozy things to refresh your space giving all the Ralph Lauren vibes.
