ANDI'S STYLES

      I am waiting to be picked up  to be taken to the airport for my flight back to JFK.  I was able to get some rest after I got in yesterday.  I have been exhausted for the past four days from running around, going to and from classes and dealing with my arrogant professors.  I was emotionally and physically exhausted.  I made up for all of that by just having Japanese food yesterday and sleeping for four hours when I arrived.      Hopefully today will be a nice day and I will have respectful Business Class passenger.  Anyway, the impossible public; what to do?

      It is a really nice, cool morning.  I am  getting ready to leave for Dallas-Forth Worth, then back to New York through Chicago.  I love this city, it is a much smaller, cleaner and nicer mini New York.  It was so cold and breezy walking on Lakeshore Drive then Michigan Avenue yesterday that I just came back to the hotel and finished watching the rest of Whitney Houston funeral.  Wow, I still can't believe that she is gone.  The funeral made it so final for me.  It is really a fact that my most loved singer is no more.  God bless us all.     Anyway, time to get going!

REST IN PEACE MS.WHITNEY HOUSTON

      I am both excited and relieve that NYFW2012  has officially come an end for me.  While I am thrilled that I was given the opportunity to be a part of something so grand, I am relaxed that I am  now able to sleep without thinking of questions to ask my subjects.  I am going to sleep late for the rest of the week and eat whatever I want.    I do miss Fashion Week already as it was a great training ground for me to hone my skills and firmly plant myself the the Blogger Of The Century!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just checking in  with my wonderful audience and here is what I will report back.      I was able to see these great show just by chance:  Coreylynn Calter, Billy Reid, Rafeal Cennamo, Fuguli & Shane Peacock, Rachel Roy, Emilio Cavallini and Negarin.      It was a dream-filled week for me.  I was there for all of you my beautiful audience in spirit.  I loved the shows.  Each designer did their greatest piece of work within each season.  I can love and appreciate them all for creating such beauty for  audiences and consumers as us.  I love these designers and I love them for giving me stand by/stand up tickets to let me partake of their beauty, visions and creations.  This is the first season of my blog so I did not have the know-how or connection needed to make fashion week glamorous on my part but God worked it out and I was able to see many shows...

Hello everyone,      I am sure you are having an amazing day!  I have just finished doing my first moment of press as a  blogger covering the world's most exciting city that hosts the world's most exciting fashion shows.  Well, I have quite a few highlights and  a minuscule moment of low- lights at the Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week 2012.  It was a great way to to introduce my blog to the world and establish myself as an official blogger ( heads bow while we have a few minutes of gratitude for my new life and venture...amen). First, I must  thank Ms. Rebecca Levitt Levy at Bratskeir & Company for giving me the opportunity to work with her doing the beauty prep backstage sessions as a member of the press at this season's shows.  Rebecca and her generous team gave me four shows to showcase.  The shows were:  HOUGHTON, TIMO WEILAND, JENNY PACKHAM and BIBHU MOHAPATRA....

Hello My Friends,      I hope all is well as my words greet you.  Today was another lovely day at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week!   I was a bit late getting to a show but all in all it worked out.  I met many new fashionista friends.  I attended Rafeal Cennamo presentation and it was very inspiring.  He is quite good and has an eye for elegance and beauty. The atmosphere was full of positive energy and many tasteful observers.  What a great day this was.  I am looking forward to doing this all over again tomorrow tired or not. My most beautiful couple of Fashion Week 2012:  Hawa of Somalia and Fernando of Portugal ! I learn by going where I have to go." – Theodore Roethke
