PFMs on the Town: Green Glam at Fashion Week

 

There's a craving I get every so often and surprisingly it has nothing to do with the latest recipe or handbag. It's a longing to get together with like-minded people who want to celebrate and share mutual passions...anyone else with me? So, when I was invited to the Green Glam Fashion Week Tweetup there wasn't a doubt in my mind that I would end up joining the party.

Hosted by 4 green beauty and fashion experts (including our friend and Eco-beauty goddess Rebecca Casciano) the event was a meeting of the green beauty-savvy minds...we bonded over our shared love of all things healthy and stylish. The boutique-like setting of Organic Avenue's Space of LOVE* was the perfect spot to sip fresh green juice and swap good vibes with dozens of other beauties. I met many amazing women from a variety of industries (can't wait to get together with them again) and had the chance to introduce my girl Jazmin to the awesome world of green beauty. Plus, we took home a sweet swag bag full of healthy treats! Looking chic and enjoying beautifying foods while spreading the message that vibrant health starts on the inside...now that's an ideal night spent during NY Fashion Week!

If you are inspired to be in the know about the next green beauty event in the New York area, I encourage you click the links above to follow or tweet any (or all) of those lovely ladies mentioned previously. Feeling like you want to empower yourself to make healthier choices in life, but don't know where to start? Of course you can always Ask the PFMs! This is just the beginning of a growing movement towards natural, healthy, and stylish living that is anything but boring. As green beauty-fashion-wellness enthusiasts, Sesheta and I are so proud to be setting a hot trend that can become an incredible lifestyle if you let it. xoxo Becca

Daily Outfit: Still Hanging On

i know, i know... we have already posted enough good-bye summer posts but, dang it, i'm not ready to let go yet! lol ...which explains these pics for my post today.  it was one of the hotter days of August and it was perfect for snapping pics in a new location surrounded by nature.  this dress is one of my summer favorites made by my girl and her Aunt.  it is actually a hand-me down from her closet but,  of course, in my closet it is brand new!  it actually has straps but it is so secure at the top that i made it an instant strapless.  it's so easy to throw this on and be ready for any event.  i added my white blazer (not seen here) to glam it up for work but i love that it shows the right amount of skin to still be sexy and demure.  i have been trying to convince my friend to start making clothing or, at the very least, make ME clothing!!!  maybe then she will be inspired to start a line! xo Sesheta

Daily Outfit: Silver Lining

sometimes it is a challenge to get our photo shoot in before the end of the day but the benefit for delaying this time was the beautiful way the natural sunlight played a part.  my outfit is usually colorless for me so it's a good thing the sun came to literally brighten me up! it wasn't supposed to be that way but i planned to wear something else and, in the last minute, had to change the plan.  instead of glam goddess i had envisioned, i went for comfy fashionista instead lol.  somedays, simple is better (and easier).

you can tell by my comfort outside that the weather was mild.  all this warm-ish weather has me pining for a "warm" winter.  it's actually a tease more than it is pleasurable.  every morning i am forced to check the weather to see what i should wear to be sure i'll be comfortable all through the day.  well, though i'm complaining, the stream of mild weather has definitely been the silver lining to the winter cloud looming overhead.  as november comes to a close and we enter into december, i am realizing just how lucky we have been!

P.S. AND THE WINNER IS (drumroll, please)... Kristina!!! Congrats for being lucky number 7!  And even better, all the other MF freebie contestants will receive 15% off their purchase of MavenFresh items! Everyone's a winner!
