blog of the week | NYFW



New York fashion week happens twice a year, and it seems like for those two weeks all I am doing is looping through a list of my favorite blogs to find their coverage. This week, instead of just suggesting one blog - I'm sending you to the places I have been clicking around to see what has been happening in the streets and down the runway.

{Cupcakes and Cashmere} was interviewed for the Wall Street Journal about fashion week (she links to it on her most recent post) and has had a backstage pass to see the makeup and hair trends thanks to her recent partnership with Estee Lauder.


{The Glamourai} got a backstage look at Joseph Altuzarra, and has been documenting the incredible outfits she has worn while watching the shows. The first outfit (the black cat sweater) ended up on numerous other blogs reporting on fashion week, so I'm thinking maybe she should be in NYFW instead of the just covering it.

I was so excited when I found out that Whitney Eve was showing at Lincoln Center, that I went home immediately and started looking up ways to get tickets to the show and how much a flight & hotel room would cost. Unfortunately, everything was way out of my budget. Thankfully, {Whitney Port} gave a full recap on her site. I'm always intrigued about the outfits she puts together for herself, let alone what she comes up with when she makes a collection.

Other favs:
{Where Did U Get That}
{The Sartorialist}
{Nina Garcia} <-- but of course!

blog of the week | Cupcakes and Cashmere


All the blogs I've mentioned here (and that I have yet to mention here) are all equal in my book. They all provide me with a ton of inspiration, happiness and motivation to do what I'm doing right now. However, if I had to choose a favorite - {Cupcakes and Cashmere} would definitely be in the running.

Emily Schuman has maintained consistent, daily posts revolving around the topics of food, fashion, and creative projects for over three years now. I first stumbled upon {Cupcakes and Cashmere} when I was an intern at a publishing house in Detroit. It was my first taste of cubicle life, and instantly I needed a creative escape.

I remember when I found it, I went home that night and read each and every post that came before that. It was my first impression of "fashion blogging" and instantly I was hooked. A real girl, my age, is just being herself, yet still is sharing daily inspiration from a seemingly beautiful life.

And a beautiful life, Emily does have. Since I've been reading, she has had partnerships with Forever 21 (I walked by the storefront once, and there she was on a giant poster in the window), designed her own bag with Coach, and most recently paired up with Stylemint as the guest stylist of the month of November.

There is nothing I don't love about this blog. I hope you enjoy her as much as I do.
