I recently attended the Spring 14′ NY Mercedes Benz Fashion Week! I was only in NY for a weekend and man did I have an experience of a lifetime! Everything happened in the moment! I got to see several shows, meet celebrities and fashion icons, interviewed Tracy Reese and her lead make-up and hair team, was highlighted on essence.com for great street style, and best of all, I got to meet Diane Von Furstenberg – my fashion idol! Here is a brief photo recap of my fashion week experience – –
