Chuniq appeared to me like a mirage amidst the sea of tourists on Michigan Avenue. I had gone down to the Magnificent Mile to pick up my new coat I’d ordered from Zara (outfit post soon). Her turban, natural beauty, and large gold hoop earrings instantly elevated her from the crowd. It’s the moments when I spot an extraordinary everyday person that drives me to do what I do. Capturing the spirit and the energy of the individuals I see who inspire me is really what my blog is about.

One of the coolest experiences I had at New York Fashion Week was hanging out backstage at the runway shows. I witnessed models transform into glamazons through the power of hair and make-up. I also watched the runway show rehearsal where the models walk the catwalk in their regular clothes to make sure the line-up is the best it can be. The Spring 2012 season was my first experience really attending runway shows. I had gone to two during the Fall 2011 shows back in February. However, there is a world of difference between having Brad Goreski get me into Tibi minutes before the show starts and having backstage VIP passes to every single show at Milk Studios. Just sayin’.
