There are two more days left before NYFW 2012 comes to an end and by the looks of the street style photos, runway videos, and backstage extravaganza, I definitely missed a lot of fun and the comeback of color to some of the designers' palates.
Rebecca Minkoff was a show I have seen once, twice, and probably a dozen times (I lost count) and every time I saw the show, it was a completely new adrenaline rush. I never got tired of seeing each piece over and over again. Some of what I believe to be the most stand out pieces or looks (all shown below) are the glitter pants from look 1, look 25, 17, and 28. I love every single piece, but if I mentioned every single look from Fall 2012, this would end up being a chapter book long post.
Each piece is what I believe represents a strong and empowered woman, which is something that I believe to be very endearing qualities for a female to possess. The shoulders for the blazers and jackets are strong and sophisticated with hints of the uptown, downtown melange of qualities. The dress in look 25 is absolutely a stunner with a very unexpected, yet sexy cutout.
Unfortunately, we aren't in Fall 2012 yet (but who says we can't wear those clothes in May?), and we should try to resist the urge of putting away our winter coats and scarves for a bit. Sometimes accessorizing helps to uplift and update the wardrobe winter blues.

But just as flexible as you are with your wardrobe every season, you can alter the foods and drinks you ingest in your body. SanctuaryT, the place I call my oasis, provides an extensive assortment of teas, drinks, and eclectic types of dishes. Whenever I'm in town, I always find time to stop in for my cup of
Yaffa Rooibos tea, or my
Tropical Mate tea. The great qualities about Rooibos is that it is an herbal tea, which tends to clear your complexion as well as provide you well antioxidants! There are bits of chocolate in the Yaffa Rooibos, which keeps the tea lovers coming back for more ALL the TIME.
For those in need of a tropical breeze without the time to book a two week vacation to St. Barts, Tropical Mate helps me feel like I'm basking in the French sunshine. This clearly makes me a bit delusional because it is a mere 20 degrees (if I'm lucky) in Albany. Not only do the bits of real pineapple a pleasure to taste and smell, the tea is a great source of antioxidants, which helps to prevent sickness.
So whether you are in a winter rut or are in need of a natural pick-me up from the insanity that instills during Fashion week, stop by for any kind of drink at SanctuaryT.
P.S. They do provide an interesting take on cocktails using some of the teas as a base.
It's time to keep our spirits lifted as we wait ever so patiently for Spring to arrive!
