My Instaweek: 9.17.12

New York Fashion Week has finally come to a close and as such, I spent this entire weekend doing absolutely nothing. And it felt great! I went for a hot stone massage, had brunch and slept. Yes, quite the uneventful weekend but here’s a snapshot of all I got into last week:

– Huge shoutout to the folks at Birchbox and the manicurist from Color Club for starting my week off right last Monday. LOVED my manicure and all the special treats I went home with from the Birchbox Sample Stop lounge

– Three shows I adored last week: Rachel Roy (which I gushed about here), Gerlan Jeans (Minnie Mouse theme? I’m all in), and Rachel Zoe (gotta love the Zoe)

– I had the outstanding pleasure of attending the NY screening dinner for Iyanla Vanzant’s new show on OWN called “Fix My Life”. Hostess Demetria Lucas of A Belle In Brooklyn interviewed Iyanla all about the premiere episode featuring Evelyn Lozada and it was a night I will never forget. I even got the opportunity to meet and chat with Iyanla – I LOVE her! If you’ haven’t already, lock the show times into your calendar. Iyanla “Fix My Life” airs on Saturdays at 10/9c.
