Kos' NYFW S14 Entry # 1: Dockers Alpha Collection

I channeled my Alpha male when NY Fashion week kicked off for me Tuesday night. I was invited with a few of my dear friend's to the launch of the Fall 13 Alpha collection for Dockers. The men's collection was a mix of downtown meets vintage Americana showcasing tailored blazers with camo pants, vibrant colored bottoms in red are paired up with basic button downs and the classic quilted bomber. Guests were also treated to amazing music, drinks, oysters, sushi and the opportunity to get a free pair of pants from the collection in a special trailer.  My friend's and I laughed, danced, and ran into famailar faces throughout the night, it was the perfect way to start the work week after the long Labor Day weekend.

My friend's and I from the left: Shanna, Rachel, Diane, me, Curtis, and Kimanie lol we were the fashion United Nations.

I will be reporting on NYFW for the next few days stay tuned, and have a great week!

Out on the Weekend

Hey guys!

Once 6:00 hit this past Friday my mind was off work! Everyday for me this week has been go, go, go so I couldn't wait to finally sit back and do absolutely nothing...or absolutely everything this weekend.

Friday night I caught up with my friend Steph, we chatted about work, fashion, boys, and life. We were watching The Knicks/Celtics game. 

She couldn't get over my Iron Man case lol she got a shot of Iron Man during halftime:

Saturday I took it easy it was great for once, I worked out, napped, then met my friend Aiesha to stop at Loveday 31, our favorite vintage spot. I have been eyeing this dress when Loveday posted it on instagram a few days ago:

Ivona the owner of Loveday 31, was nice enough to take the dress down for me to try it on. I didn't want to take it off! I love the 70's vibe, I can rock it with boots or platform sandals. It is the perfect dress for spring/summer hijinks that I am sure to get into.

Aiesha ended up with two items with some urging from me. One was a skater dress, and the other is a sequin top I love the oversize tshirt inspired fit!

We ended up meeting our friend's later at a beer garden nearby. It was an awesome time as always, we laughed, danced, took shots, and watched the game. 

 

Off to work I go tomorrow but I'm excited for the week ahead: prepping for fall 13 press, shooting resort 13 at the Lower East Side, shooting for the blog, and seeing the Knicks beat the Celtics at the Garden on Wednesday ha!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!
