Imitators vs Innovators

New York Skyline c. 1935

I've been thinking about Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York today. Originally, I was trying to figure out if I could take the time off work to go. Then I started wondering if I'd really want to go. You see, in my eyes once it hits the runway it's already done. Is fashion week simply a mecca for the imitators? So be it - it's the tastemakers I'm interested in. If I can make it work I'll be in NYC this October for what I consider the premier fashion weekend. Keep your fingers crossed for me - it'll be my birthday treat to myself.

Great bday gift! We leave Sept 1st for our yearly trip back east. This year we are staying in BRooklyn for a change of pace. I'm thinking I might take some street style shots there this year...

When is your bday? Mine is Oct too :)

Are you a Libra?

I am a libra. No wonder we have such similar taste.

You are going to have a great birthday there!

I knew it. We're the most stylish of the bunch ;-)

You'll have a great birthday there too. If you eat seafood go to Pearl's Oyster Bar. The lobster wrap is to die for!

My goal is to go without luggage or a carry on - only my purse (do people still use that word?).

I look forward to your pics!
