I am back in effect Ya'll
I was unussually tired after dinner today and just fell asleep on my parent's bed for a bit. Now I am awake and recharged and ready to give you some updates. Thursday night I attended the Custo Barcelona show at the tents . His designs were psychedelic and fun. The swimsuits were my personal favorite pieces. The show was well put together and the length was perfect enough to keep me focused. 
After the show I hung out with my fashion girls from college and sat right outside the exit of the tents. We met a volunteer who later presented us with a small bottle of Imperia Vodka each . (Thanks Christian! ) After a few hours of sitting at the park we decided to part .
Again, I decided to walk through the NYC streets by my lonesome, to meet some of my friends . Walking in NYC always turns into an adventure for me. On the way over I looked up at the sky and saw the lights beaming up from ground zero. I leaned on the side of a building and just stared at the light. It straight up looked like the light was beaming from heaven instead of the earth.
That light represents all of those who were lost 7 years ago to many of us. To me that light also represents who I am today. 2001 marks the year I went away for school, the year Aaliyah died, the year my freshman class lost a friend because of a drunk driver. The past 7 years have marked 2 broken hearts , Loosing a 16 year cousin to gang violence , loosing my first friend in high school to domestic violence, building friendships with some of the best friends I could ever have, the path to my career, finding the courage to get on a plane to travel , all the babies that have been born and the list goes on. All these things have made me who I am , looking at that light just made me think of how much can happen in 7 years. A whole lot of good and bad. but all appreciated by me. What does that light represent to you?

Dear Diary .... ha ha ha
What an interesting beautiful day. I went up to 42nd to run a personal errand today during lunch and here was this guy with a Anna Wintour painting he created. The point of him standing in front of the tents was to get people to write messages to Anna. Red if you were in the fashion industry and I think blue or black if you were not. Of course I signed it . 
He is going to sell the painting on ebay. How awesome is the fact that my name will be on someone's wall one day ?
After a busy day at work I went to the opening of the new Maoz Vegetarian restaurant on Broadway between 71st and 72nd. The food was pretty good, compliments of the girls at Pitch Control PR.
I went to meet with with my homies , Instead of taking the train or a cab I decided to walk . It was a beautiful night and I was on the phone. Once I got to 59th this guy in a p
edi cab said he will give me a ride to 34th street for $5. So of course I took the ride. It turned out being free. He did not want to take my money. It pays to be nice in life. It was exciting ! Check out the pics !

It took almost an hour
but I figured out what I am wearing ... at least for the next three days. I love these BCBG shoes, I was trying hard to add them into one of my outfits but the truth is : They Hurt Like A MOFO! So there goes these shoes up on my bookcase for display along with the other shoes that look nice but don't feel too good. Anywho... Wish it was chilly enough to wear the jacket though.
YIKES !
My closet is pretty chaotic, It's fashion week and I don't know what to wear! Duh , I know fashion week started last Friday. I've just been laying low , the rain and everything else just made me hermit for a couple of days that's all. I am finally ready to just hit the shows and parties ... well not really . I have to decide what it is that I am going to wear first. Hmmmm .... I wonder what the weather is going to be like.
