Lounging InStyle
Filthy Magic Colored Collar Blouse 
Cheap Monday Bonnie Skirt (similar. similar) Joe’s Jeans Brenda Wedge (nude leather) Filthy Magic Choker Necklace & cuff (similar)
At first I hated these photos, but now I like them. Christine thinks they’re the best photos of us from NYFW. Thanks to Sabla for taking them for us. I spotted the InStyle magazine across the street when I was at Lincoln Center for shows. This was a private lounge unlike the Allure or Teen Vogue lounges and I wasn’t on the list. However, I gave the girl at the front desk my card and she allowed the three of us to go up and enjoy.
It was hands down the nicest lounge out of the other magazines. Not counting Elle because I forgot to put it in my schedule (oops). Anyway, InStyle had an open bar, a food spread, computers, comfortable sofas, lots of room (unlike Allure), and of course the latest InStyle with Beyonce on the cover. It was quiet, unlike Teen Vogue. The computers weren’t packed unlike the press area at the tents, it was just pure bliss. Of course I wanted to return since our arrival was only about 40 minutes before they closed for the day.
Well, Christine and I had a break in between events and stopped by again and was told that there was a private event going on so that was a bummer but completely understandable. On the last day of shows for me we had another break and tried to go back again and unfortunately we weren’t allowed to return. The girl at the check in was actually quite rude about it which is where I had the problem. I think I tweeted or something about her attitude and then that night I got an email inviting me to the lounge. Sigh. Late but I guess appreciated.
looking great! LOVE that skirt

I like your attitude, I wouldn’t have the courage to roll up if I wasn’t on a list, and even with the tweet, sometimes it pays to drop some negative feedback. This is a good lesson for me to learn from!!

Well I didn’t know that it was a private lounge. I thought it was public like the others. I will say though in my experience it never hurts to ask/let someone know who you are and what you do.

These definitely are my fav pix of us! I like the lighting & your outfit! Your accessories r always on point
. Your statement that she was rude is an understatement, but it’s nice that you’re being professional.

Ahhh if we lived close by I’d definitely bring you to stuff like this with me. It can be really fun sometimes. I just hated the lighting and everything I had to fix them in PS and someone else took them and they were off center blah blah. I hate handing over my camera to anyone that doesn’t know how to use it. :/
