Two Words: Bryant Park (NY Fashion Week)

If you are a Fabulous Brown Girl and covet fashion then you are already FULLY aware of the happenings in Bryant Park!! Yesterday started NY Fashion Week where designers hold fashion shows twice a year (February and September) to display the new fashion trends for the Spring and Fall seasons.

Most of the fashion shows take place at Bryant Park and journalists, celebrities, and socialites are invited to survey their designs and decide who they will wear or give good reviews to.

Even though I do not claim to be anywhere near "Devil Wears Prada" status, I do enjoy fashion a great deal and will be looking out for the new hottest trends

Speaking of Devil Wears Prada, check out the real "Devil" herself, Anna Wintour, Editor In Chief of Vogue Magazine, in her new award winning documentary "The September Issue". It hits theatres nationwide today! I definitely plan on checking it out!
