CommentHi lovelies,
I got to interview Lee Abbamonte, the youngest American to visit every country in the world.
Some of his extreme traveling highlights include hang gliding over Rio de Janeiro, conquering the world’s highest bungee jump in South Africa, tracking silverback gorillas in Rwanda, summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, going on safari in the Serengeti, and white-water rafting down the level-five rapids of the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe.
We also talked about the latest trends in travel and why virtual travel is the next big thing in vacation planning. Learn about GeoVegas – an online tool that makes Las Vegas one of the first cities to use Google’s interior technology.

Cynthia Rowley gets sporty with new athletic line
CommentHi lovelies,
Below is my article that's feature on FashionEdits on Cynthia Rowley's new athletic line, enjoy!
At FashionEdits, we believe in fashion meeting function, especially in our fitness gear. But more than just being comfortable, we can also be chic while meditating, practicing our Yoga moves, or striking the latest Pilates pose.
Luckily for us, Cynthia Rowley, the quintessential ‘girls’ girl’ designer, just launched her debut fitness and athletic collection. She revealed the impressive line during her 2015 Spring presentation at New York Fashion Week. The designer uses everything from boxy silhouettes, wetsuits, 80′s inspired trends, floral-printed workout pants, red-white-and-blue and black-white-and-green color palettes, shorts with a scalloped cut-out motifs, and feminine swimwear, to even inspire us to want to look chic while sweating it out on the treadmill or the elliptical machine.
The break-out pieces from the collection were the full body black jumpsuit, the denim-printed short jumpsuit, the pastel color-blocked looks, and yes, even the gold plated bike helmet. Cynthia’s new fitness line has some must-have pieces because it marries function, fitness, and fashion by one of the coolest designers around. Will you wear Cynthia’s new line? What do you usually sport while at the gym?
The best from techSTYLE Lounge during New York Fashion Week
CommentHi lovelies,
Even though New York Fashion Week has come and gone in a blaze of Kendall Jenner glory and I spent the majority of my time on the West Coast, I was fortunate enough to still receive my swag bag from techSTYLE Lounge from New York Fashion Week.
techSTYLE Lounge is a not-to-be-missed event during New York Fashion Week that was, "created with the purpose of offering the ultimate fashionista a place to recharge while being accompanied by some of today’s most innovative beauty, fashion, health and wellness, and tech brands."
The event took place on September 8th, 2014 at the House of Bumble at 415 West 13th Street, New York, NY. Fashionistas, trendsetters, designers, publicists, writers, and bloggers enjoyed the lounge in-between shows to indulge in cool refreshments, delicious light bites, delicate cocktails, and to partake in customized brand experiences.
Check out my cool swag from techSTYLE Lounge below and a big thank you to PINCHme.
Shoe Guide: Your must-have shoe trends for fall
1 CommentHi lovelies,
Like any true fashionista, I'm obsessed with shoes. I wrote this trend guide for FashionEdits and couldn't wait to share it with you all.
Matching your outfit with the perfect pair of shoes can take any look from day-to-night, casual-to-cocktail, and from the boardroom to the bar. Get ready to unleash your inner Carrie Bradshaw with our shoe guide that compiles the must have shoe trends and silhouettes for fall.
Tall boots: Slip on a pair of tall boots, at least past your calves, to dress up any outfit. It's perfect over stockings or leggings. An added bonus to tall boots is that they look great with everything from dresses, shorts, to skirts.
Pointed-toe booties with a heel: Last season it was all about the booties with a wedge or flat bottom, but this season the bootie silhouette has upped its game and added an heel to elongate the leg and add a layer of sophistication to any look.
Go grey and back to nature: The color palette for the hottest shoes this season are greys, natural tones, greens, and earthy hues. Black and dark brown will always be staples but expand your fashion color palette with these lighter and muted hues to be on-trend.
Over-the-knee boots: This is one of our favorite trends for this season. Rock over-the-knee boots with a poncho if you want to look like you stepped out of the front row from Fashion Week. Chocolate brown, deep grey, and black are the perfect colors for this type of boots and opt for leather rather than suede.
Hi-top sneakers: Sneakers were super hot last season, but the new way to rock the casual look is to opt for the hi-top sneaker with a chunky sole and elevated wedge. These sneakers will take any look from hipster to haute couture.

So here's my take on a classic New York fall look, done the LA way.
