    NYFW September 2018 Recap

    September 21, 2018fashion, travel

    OMG, it has taken me waaaaay too long to get this up. I’m still on such a high from attending NYFW. It was EVERYTHING. I shared a TON on Instagram while I was there, but I wanted to create some formal content here on the blog. This will be part of a multiple post content series surrounding NYFW 2018. After months of planning, my friend Ruthie and I were able to attend together thanks to our friends at Alaska Airlines. It was a dream come true and to make the dream even sweeter, we were able to bring our photographer and beloved friend Mae along with us. She captured every moment and I can’t believe it was her first NYFW! She NAILED IT! We made the best trio and I know we will do it again.

    There are so many layers to fashion week, and being that the landscape has changed with the rise of bloggers and social media influencers, there is really something for everyone. The designer collections were fantastic, the attendees were dressed to the nines and even with the weather being a pain, it was such a great time to connect with other bloggers and creatives.

    Without further ado, here are some snaps from NYFW 2018 with some notes from yours truly!

    NYFW 2018 Shows

    We went to a handful of shows while we were in town! Each experience was totally unique and I have to say, the collections did not disappoint.

    Nolcha Accessories Preview

    The Nolcha Accessories preview allowed us to see shoe, jewelry, and handbag collections, with the designers right there to tell us about their brands and answer all questions that Ruthie and I had.

    Oxford Shows

    The Oxford Fashion Studio show shared multiple designers in one show. I was blown away by the use of color (neon specifically) and the ultra-feminine details of chiffon, taffeta, and satin.

    Academy of Art

    The Academy of Art show did not disappoint. The one in SF is always a highly talked about event, and it was so cool to see the school at NYFW> I love the creativity and risks the students show in their work. These designers are the next big thing! Seriously.

    Nonie

    I was so excited to see Nonie at NYFW 2018, especially since the Dutchess of Sussex (my girl crush) has been spotted wearing the designer. The Nonie show was a fine display of minimalistic elegance. I want the sheer trench, please. 🙂

    Ruby Fang

    We were SO excited for this show and it did not disappoint. Ruby Fang brought out the elegance with fringe, lace, feathers, and beading. The experience was enhanced by the big brass band music that went with the show. It’s like we were instantly transported to the streets of New Orleans!

    Getting there with Alaska Airlines

    The Kachet Life and Ruthie Ridley Blog: NYFW at Chelsea Piers

    You know I’ve worked with Alaska Air in the past, and most recently Ruthie and I were their Weekend Wanderers so we were thrilled to work with them on this trip to NYFW. We flew on their direct red-eye flight out of SFO, which was very convenient. We ran into zero traffic on the way to the airport!

    I love partnering with Alaska Air because they are not only a comfortable and reliable airline, but their team members go above and beyond to ensure that every flight is memorable and you are treated exceptionally well! The in-flight experience is awesome, with free movies and entertainment, power outlets at every seat from First Class all the way to coach, free messaging on a mobile device as well as delicious food offerings! I was able to get so much done on the return flight home!

    Alaska Air offers the most nonstop flights from the West Coast to US and international destinations than any other airline. Additionally, with 15 airline partners, they can take their guests to over 900 destinations around the world! Who’s ready to explore? If you’ve never traveled with Alaska, what are you waiting for? Plan your next trip here!

    Look for more posts in my NYFW content series coming your way soon! xo

      I am always amazed at the fashion at these events and often wonder if people actually wear them in real life.
      The photos captured are amazing and you guys looked like you had a blast.

    Hello from me + sunbathing @lifeofrudytheboston! I Hello from me + sunbathing @lifeofrudytheboston! I knew I was gonna take a break from social media, but I didn’t realize it was gonna be two weeks. 👀 Been trying to transition into 2021 with a clear head, lots of gratitude, reflecting, reading, healing and adopting some new habits. I’ve got major goals this year and I’m trying to stay consistent, starting with my daily routine. I’ve got my SQUAD personally + professionally to hold me accountable. I won’t be stopped. ⚡️

Y’all - We learned the lessons last year. Now it’s time to apply. Remember that awakening last June? Yeah, that was just the beginning. I hope you’re paying attention to what’s happening around you. There’s a lot more work to do and we need to do it together.

How are you doing over there? What’s new in your neck of the woods?
    Why am I smiling + kneeling in the bathroom? Becau Why am I smiling + kneeling in the bathroom? Because I partnered with @homedepot to tile the floor of our half bath with QuicTile by @daltile! 🤩 This is the first major DIY over here and after having the tile around for a bit, we had to just go for it — and let me just tell you, I wish we had done it sooner.

From prep to reveal, the refresh happened in just matter of hours. And now, the half bath feels like we’re somewhere else… 🤣 maybe a hotel?! ➡️SWIPE TO SEE THE BEFORE. 

Wondering how it happened in hours? You install the QuicTile on top of the existing floors by putting down an underlayment to protect the surface below. The tiles “click” together and before you know it, it’s time for grout. Seriously. There are so many different variations of QuicTile that you can have fun with in any room of your home! It doesn’t have to be scary. Click the link in my bio to get to the post with process details and to see it all happen.

And selfishly, I can’t wait until it’s safe to have people over so they can see the glow up! The plan now is to add pictures and wacky art on the walls so it gets people talking. Are you planning any home projects for 2021? Tell me what you’re up to!

    Y’all, I rounded up five of my favorite brut ros Y’all, I rounded up five of my favorite brut rose’s that won’t break the bank! 🥂🙌🏾🍾Each is under $25 and the list starts at $8.99, just in time for you to grab for your New Year’s Eve at home.

You’ve been here for all of my bubbly moments ☺️ (thank you, BTW) and it’s about time I share what I look for when I head to the wine shop! Now, they may have some similarities but each brut rose gives the palate a different experience!

And yes, I shared where to get it and what to pair with it, although, a glass of bubbles by itself is always appropriate! 😉 Click the link in my bio for the full roundup and let me know what you think, if you’ve tried any of them, and if you have a rec to share. Cheers and let’s say goodbye to this year with a little flair!

    Happy Monday, y’all! Been off the grid for a qui Happy Monday, y’all! Been off the grid for a quiet + calm Christmas weekend. Did you have a nice holiday? Try anything new? Burn your candles?! What did I miss?

After Christmas, I slept a lot, spent time in reflection and got out of the house to move my body. I also tried out aerial silks with @mrenere. Don’t believe me? Just swipe to see our grand finale after spinning upside down. I can’t believe how hard my body worked. 😆

I have some content coming your way this week to close out this year with a bang. Well, more like a pop! 😉 🍾  Bring your taste buds.  Can’t wait to share and hear what you think. Got a request? I’ll see what I can do. Take care of yourselves! 💛
