International update :) Kiev, Ukraine

hello everyone :) Yet again, I am on vacation again - this time we are in Kiev, Ukraine. Kiev is beautiful and i've have been having an amazing time here. I left NYC on November 1st and I wont be arriving home until the 14th. Today I'm going to do some shopping! I am dyingggg to buy a new fur coat and a fur ushanka ("russian hat" lol) and of course I need to buy little gifts for my friends & family back home. Also, I love the weather here. Its always sunny with a beautiful blue sky and cold. I love the cold weather because you can always dress nice and warm & i adore my boots & fur :) All in all - Kiev, Ukraine is a gorgeous city and I know that this is not the last time that I will be here.

On another note, I feel sort of silly updating my blog. Especially being that I haven't written in here since my last vacation in August and the time before that was when my dad passed away. It really makes me sad to think how distant I have been from something that I love so much, but my life right now (and for the past months) did not allow me any time to indulge in the blogging/youtube world :( I have been so busy with my full time job (actually, its not just a "job", I have an actual career going for me), college, traveling to Russia/Ukraine very often, and on top of that I have to be there for my family - things have changed a lot since my daddy has passed away. Anyway, the point I'm trying to make here is that even with being so busy and having such a full life, I still miss blogging and youtube. It is always in the back of my mind and I feel so sad for having to take such a long hiatus - but I guess that is what I needed to get my life in order. Most importantly, what I wanted to tell you all is that I am coming back :) Once I get back to America I will start getting back again into blogging & youtube and I'm sure everything will be good, or as we say in Russian "все будет хорошо" ♥

Moscow & Odessa :)

Hi everyone :)

I wanted to make a video before I left America, but I have been so busy with my new job lately & packing & preparing for my trip that I didnt have anytime to make you guys a video letting you all know whats been up lately & what I'm doing. Anywayyyyy - right now I am writing this from Odessa, Ukraine - I am here on vacation. I am going to be in Moscow, Russia and Odessa, Ukraine. I've been out of America since August 3rd and I am going to be coming back to NYC on August 18th :( wahhh I hate coming back to America - I really am convinced that I could just stay here forever. its beautiful.

So, just wanted to give that little update & hopefully when I arrive back in NYC I can get back into the YouTube & blogging scene. Until then, I will be enjoying Moscow & Odessa!! Speak to you all soon :)

XOXO Chloe

Nicholas K. - NYFW f/w 2011

ahhhhhh, the Nicholas K. show.
Unfortunately this show featured the first two model falls of fashion week, but trust me, after seeing the wonderful collection I almost forgot about the model spills. (note: I said "almost".)

The Nicholas K. fall/winter 2011 ready to wear collection was an interesting casual mix of grunge & luxurious boho (bohemian). I loved all the fur, the colorful plaid, the leather boots & jackets and the chunky, oversized knit sweaters. I could easily see myself wearing a few of the Nicholas K. pieces from her ready to wear collection.

Here are three of my favorite looks from the Nicholas K. RTW (ready to wear, for those fashion week newbies out there.) collection fall/winter 2011.

I am #INLOVE with this chunky oversized knit sweater, i adore the oatmeal color & i love how it looks with the gray pants and the brown distressed-leather boots. (oh, btw - thats the model who took the first spill and those boots were the culprit.)

I love this jacket, especially the unique shade of the fur, and how well it matches with the aviator sunglasses. If it were me, I would pair the jacket & the shades with jet black denim & knee high black boots. 

black leather + black fur = YES PLEASE.

Okay, enough with the fashion - on to beauty. #NAILS

For Nicholas K's downtown chic RTW collection, Pattie Yankee created two custom Dashing Diva colors, a deep hunter green and a brown with gold flecks. In addition, Dashing Diva's "Remember My Name" and "Limo Service" were also worn by the models.

I'm a huge fan of dark nail polish & after this show I am going to need to pick myself up a bottle of Dashing Diva's "Remember My Name" - i love it. All in all, the Nicholas K. show was a success (if you don't count the falling models..) and I really enjoyed her RTW fall/winter collection.

The Red Dress Fashion Show - NYFW f/w 2011

It's that time of the year again. FASHION WEEK.

& me, of course I am going to be at New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2011. #fact

The Red Dress Fashion Show at the theater at Lincoln Center on Wednesday February 9th kicked off Fall/Winter 2011 New York Fashion Week! The Red Dress fashion show is also known as the Heart Truth fashion show. This glamorous show brought a parade of celebrities, all in gorgeous red designer dresses, to the ruby-red runway in order to raise awareness for heart disease. Since red is one of my favorite colors, seeing all the lovely red dresses (all supporting a wonderful cause) was exactly where I wanted to be!

And, of course, I believe your nails are one of your most important accessories, so its obvious that I believe that the nails complete the outfit! This vital rule is also followed at New York Fashion Week! Backstage with Pattie Yankee for Dashing Diva nails I saw all the gorgeous polishes that the celebrities were sporting on the runway that evening.
