Bitty Style: Back to School with ATM Packs
Did you know that Spanish is the most spoken language aside from English in the USA?
I love this lunch bag from Hablando Sola. I had my mini friend, who is learning Spanish, join me for a drawing/lunch date. I tutor her during the school year, and was excited to show her this cool bag which we will be using for after school snacks when I pick her up.
Hablando Sola translates to “Talking to myself.” The creator,Daniela Rivera Zacarias, created “Dany”, a very simple, yet expressive girl, who constantly talks to herself, questioning the most important aspects of life.
I explained to my mini friend what Hablando Sola meant, and about Dany and why she talks to herself. We wondered about what Dany may be questioning. I asked her to think about what Dany would question if she lived here in NYC. Amazingly enough, with that alone, I noticed in the days following her visit, she was asking more questions. Sometimes we need to make special one-on-one time with our minis, especially our girls, so we can aide them in building the confidence they will need.
Companies like Hablando Sola, are not just cute….they are conscious in helping kids create their own voice, in what ever language they chose!

Taryn Manning gets Picked Up by The Fashion Police
Taryn Manning, singer of Boomkat and actress starring in popular show Orange is the New Black, has recently been picked up by the fashion police. That’s right – she made a very poor choice of outfit for the Triumph Lingerie Magic Wire launch in New York, and now she’s getting put in the SHU. Well, not really…but you get the picture.

Taryn spends the majority of her time dressed in boring prison gear. This is because she plays the crazy Tiffany ‘Pennsatucky’ Doggett in the popular prison show Orange is The New Black. However, it seems as if she likes to make up for that fact when she goes out to award ceremonies and launches.
To the launch, the actress decided to wear a fuschia top with matching lipstick, a black and white jacket with PVC sleeves, and a pair of baggy black trousers. She also wore a blue headscarf, Pat Butcher style earrings, and high heels. She definitely has an eccentric sense of style, wearing all kinds of weird and wonderful things when she ventures out. Somebody should have told her that you can shop for jumpsuits online – maybe she would have been more comfortable in a bright orange, prison style one?!
To the Emmy’s, she had the brightest platinum hair you’ve ever seen, worn with a pleated gold dress. She then switched into a dark blue dress of a similar style for the afterparty. The only difference was, the blue dress looked 5 times too big for her. She’s definitely getting herself a reputation for wearing whatever the heck she wants. She’s even admitted it herself, saying ‘I’ve always been a weird, funky dresser’. She described the Orange is The New Black set as being run like a ‘well oiled machine’, and told of how she’s good friends with a few of the girls she does scenes with.
However, Taryn explained how she’s nothing like Pennsatucky. She told how she’s got about 5 gay best friends, and Pennsatucky is pretty homophobic. That being said, in the last series of OITNB she made good friends with Boo Black, one of the main lesbians in the show. This means things could be changing for her pig headed character!
Surprisingly, Taryn even has her own clothing line; Born Uniqorn. Born Uniqorn is made for girls who are always on the go and like to express themselves through fashion. The range is very quirky. Taryn doesn’t always make fashion mistakes either; just like the time she promoted Orange is the New Black with a TV appearance. She curled her bright blonde bob, wore a floral shirt, and opted for a pair of plain white jeans. Her make up completed the look perfectly. She couldn’t be any different to Taylor Schilling, who plays the main character ‘Piper Chapman’ on the show. She always dresses perfectly, without a hair out of place.
Maybe the fashion police will let Taryn off for this one. At least she didn’t shoot anybody for ‘disrespecting her’, like her angry, crack head character in the show. Thanks for reading! -

New Issey Miyake Nuit D’Issey for Men
The best way to kick off New York Fashion Week is with a spectacular event. I attend the Nuit D’Issey at the Highline Stages. I jumped a LYFT car from West Village and got there in a jiffy!
Issey Miyake Parfums and Beauté Prestige International presented this newest men’s fragrance creation in a very beautiful way. The amazing environment allowed me to delve deep “Into the Night” to explore the inspiration behind the new fragrance – a moonlit universe of the imagination where nature is magnified, senses are enhanced and emotions deepened.
The fragrance is now available and the perfect transition into fall.A journey into the imagination… Dive into the night, where nature and sky become one. The powerful force of natural attraction. A fresh, woody, leathery fragrance with bergamot, black pepper, leather, and black woods.

Ann Yee S/S 2015 Collection @inninails @aveda @ayeecollection
Human history is characterized by man’s unending adaptation to his/her environment. Why should New York Fashion Week be any different?
New York Designer Ann Yee kicks off the season with a climate change inspired collection. As weather becomes less predictable, going from hot to cold with little notice, fashion must adapt, we must be ready for a blistering afternoon and a rainy evening.
This collection, and the looks are all about dress that can prepare you for whatever Mother Nature has in store for you. Layering and textured knits create an abstract look on the body that is complemented with a similar interpretation on the face and hair.
Makeup artist Fatima Thomas creates a natural look called “seasonless makeup” that features a natural look, with a hot color right in the middle. Like the weather the look travels from cold to hot with a vibrant lip that’s a mix of 2 lipsticks and a pigment in the center of the lip. Paired with these variations in temperature on the face are hair stylist Jon Reyman’s version of climate change with smooth yet textured, edgy doo on top. A sassy manicure with nail art by INNI.
Now for the hair from Aveda!

Jewelry You Can Really Fall For
Fall is coming, and so are new trends. Changing up your jewelry for the new season is one of the best things about the weather getting a little cooler. You have to start accessorizing differently when you’re wearing more layers. Plus there’s lots of fun new trends emerging. Some of them might follow runway looks, and some of them might come out of nowhere. Check out some of the Fall 2014 jewelry trends below.
Leather Collars Maybe this trend comes out of the 50 Shades of Gray craze. But whether it does or not, it looks like leather collars will be big this season. And that’s big in popularity and size. They’re not the daintiest accessory, but if you want to make a powerful statement then a leather collar is the way to do it this fall. It might keep you warm too!
Flowers There were lots of floral necklines on the catwalk for Fall 2014. Big and overstated flower detail featured in lots of necklaces, lapels and collars. So get your floral statement pieces out and make sure they’re big. Scarves are popular over necklaces too, so you might want to choose a cozy accessory over jewelry.
Just One Earring Instead of a pair of earrings, designers like Celine and Louis Vuitton went with a single oversized earring this season. The earrings were eye-catching enough for two, with sparkling, jangling, attention-grabbing features. So, instead of a pair of earrings, get your one earring on when you go out this fall. If you feel unbalanced, wear your hair on the other side.
Statement Bar Rings Don’t bother putting lots of different rings on this season. Try a single bar ring that goes across your hand, but looks like many rings put together. These rings will be popular this fall, and they’re easier than stacking a number of rings together. They make great statement pieces and will surely draw compliments and comments.
Glitzy Many accessories are getting glittery and glitzy, from shoes and bags to earrings and necklaces. If you’re Texas-based, for Houston jewelry stores try Whiteflash. You’ll find so many diamonds, you’ll be spoiled for choice. Nothing could be more glittery than a diamond ring.
Back to Nature Nature is a theme running through this season’s jewelry trends. Necklaces, brooches and earrings feature butterflies, frogs and peacock patterns. Plus furs and feathers make an appearance for a sophisticated but wild look.
Huge Accessories Don’t be shy this season, go big and bold with huge statement pieces, instead of sticking with small and simple. As well as oversized earrings and big floral details at the neckline, thick and colorful bracelets and bangles are popular too. Wear big, eye-catching necklaces that fan out across your collarbone, pop from your neck or hang down to your waist.
The main thing to remember for this fall seems to be to go big with your jewelry. So have the confidence to be showy and bold, showing off your jewelry, and the rest of your outfit too.
