Fashion Week Detox

I am finally back in Dallas from NY fashion week (I hope you followed along via Instagram). What a whirlwind. A very fun whirlwind, but a whirlwind. I am taking the day off to catch up on reading, snuggle with my dog, unpack, do some laundry and get ready for my next travel destination! Molly and I leave this Saturday for our overseas travels. I can’t believe it is already upon us! I am getting so excited!!

Over the past few days all of us girls (Molly, Sally, and Amy) had some amazing chats about topics much deeper than fashion. One that hit home for all of us was how lucky we were to have each other; a core group of friends. After college all of my best friends moved away and I felt so alone. The ones that did stay were either busy chasing their dreams in graduate school, traveling, or found work friends to fill in the spaces. I felt so lost and was in a really dark place. When I am in this place I instantly blame the city or surroundings I am in. From that point on I planted the “I hate Dallas,” seed. It was there for quite a few years. I swore it was the city that was making me unhappy so I dreamed of other places to live; Paris, London, San Fran. Anywhere but Dallas. Fast forward a few years and I am now more than content in Dallas. It wasn’t the place I was living but the people (or lack there of) that I was surrounding myself with. After this past fashion week, I have really come to realize that I am so lucky to find a group of girls I love being around so much. It took longer than I would have liked but I finally feel so comfortable and relaxed knowing I have good (and extremely fun) people around me. I can’t say that I still don’t dream of moving to London or Paris, but that is why we have travel. Right?!

New York *&$@$^& City

Bauble Bar Earrings

It is that time of year again! All of us are back in NYC for fashion week! And it is cold! Right before leaving Dallas had a crazy snow day so I was prepared for NYC to be even worse! It is, but not as bad as I thought! Doable for a few days. I am excited to be here and around so much great fashion. Very inspiring. I hope to report back with lots of pictures. In the mean time stay up to date with me via Instagram #MASfashionTravels

Until I can upload pictures from NYC I can tell you a little bit about what I packed. Think lots of fur, pants suits, leather, and blousy tops. Doesn’t sound out of the ordinary for M.A.S. but oh they are! I can’t wait to share! One thing you can be sure is in my suitcase are these earrings from Bauble Bar! They go with absolutely everything and add edge to the simplest of outfits (which are my favorite). Until I share my recent looks you can shop these earrings and lots more spring/summer pieces at Bauble Bar!

Lublu by Kira Plastinina

When people ask what my blog is about I usually answer, “my personal style and things that inspire me.” I love sharing inspiring, new, designers, ideas, or websites. Whether it be fashion, art, or home decor, I try to write about what is inspiring me at that moment. Right now that moment is Kira Plastinina. You may remember her label, Lublu, from the video I did with my gal pals; A Hot Day In December. She was kind enough to lend us some amazing pieces for the shoot. When I first walked in all of the deep blues and really cool patterns grabbed my attention. Her pieces are so unique and high quality, you can’t help but swoon.

When I opened my inbox the other morning to a new press release of her spring/summer line I had to open it. I must be honest, bloggers receive so many press releases a day from people asking us to write about their clients “new line,” it is hard to read them all. Most of the time the designs are terrible and you feel bad for the firm who has to represent them. Lublu is so, NOT one of those designers. You know the designer is good when you can’t click on the, “download file” fast enough. She always has fresh ideas and beautiful pieces and her new spring/summer line did not disappoint. It actually is my favorite she has done thus far. The beautiful emerald greens, whites, and flowy fabric make it unforgettable and really inspiring. I couldn’t stop looking at the items trying to find a favorite, but alas, it is absolutely impossible!

I hope you check out Kira and her designs at Lublu! If you are in Dallas check out her beautiful shop in Preston Center or browse online!
