Backstage at #NYFW with Red Door & Vivienne Tam

Recently I was able to take a peek behind-the-scenes with Red Door Spa during the Vivienne Tam Spring 2017 show. If you’ve ever been backstage during New York Fashion Week, then you know that it’s an absolute whirlwind of controlled chaos. There’s such a flurry activity going on and so many models in various stages of readiness that you wonder how they’re going to pull it off in time. Yet somehow, everyone manages to do their part and pull everything together just in time for a few magical moments on the runway. It truly is a sight to behold… just make sure you stay out the makeup artists’ and hairstylists’ way!

As you can see, getting the models ready is clearly a team effort. The Red Door Spa squad had multiple hands on deck to create the perfect hair and nail looks to complement Vivienne Tam’s Space Cowboy Meets Rodeo-themed collection.

The clothes were an interesting mashup of textures and colors done in intricate lace and embroidery. I also noticed a lot of fringe and heavy use of metallics which are both trending for this fall as well. You can view more pictures from the full collection online at Vogue.com.

For the #LoveofShoes Event with The Mills at Jersey Gardens

I’ve always said that I could sit around for hours and talk about shoes. Well, last Friday I got to put that theory to the test with the wonderful folks at The Mills at Jersey Gardens mall in Elizabeth, NJ. In honor of their #LoveofShoes mall-wide sale taking place this month, I got to kick up my heels (so to speak) and dish out shopping tips and fashion advice on all things shoe-related.

The event kicked off with a special shoe delivery from Century 21. You guys know how much I adore designer shoes, and Century 21 is one my favorite spots to hit up for all the brands I love at a price that’s easy on the pocketbook.

Fall Must-Have Jewelry with JTV.com

Today I’m sharing my fall must-have jewelry selections with you sponsored by the lovely folks at JTV.com. I was paid for this post and received jewelry pieces that I personally hand-picked as compensation. Thanks for supporting the brands that help make this site possible!

Fall Must-Have Jewelry

With every change in season, I try to do a full assessment of my closet – taking careful stock of what key pieces I need to round out my wardrobe versus what needs to be tossed. The process is both fun and therapeutic, and I’ve definitely gotten more stringent with editing over the years… especially when it comes to my accessories. While I enjoy changing up my look, I’m definitely the type of gal who relies on a handful of quality, timeless jewelry pieces that I can reach for again and again.

JTV.com is a wonderful destination for with a jewelry designs with a vintage flair like this beautiful sparkling star pendant from their Titanic Collection. This piece dazzles in real-life, and is definitely a show-stopper. To keep the look streamlined, I paired it with a sleek black jumpsuit that will transition nicely into fall with a simple blazer.

Fall Must-Have Jewelry

Since the necklace makes a pretty bold statement on its own, I kept the rest of my look relatively simple with classic black pumps, minimal rings and arm candy, and an understated clutch. Below are a few of my additional picks for fall must-have jewelry from JTV.com’s Vintage Collection…
