Nicky had been relatively quiet on the matter until Lydia posted this video. Apparently, it has…

Today I am sharing with you what I picked up in the Month of July. I am super busy with work, and keeping up my blog, YouTube channel as well as other projects in addition to getting ready for FW and hitting the beach I feel like I have next to no down time. Anyhoo I hope you enjoy my haul and happy summer everyone.

Here is the third installment of the shots I took outside the limited shows in September of 2020. The weather was good so there were more outdoor shows then there were this past February. People were quite creative in their looks and some were even humorous like the young woman in the space helmet./dropcap]

Here is the second post in my #under100 series. I was inspired to share this with you from my shopping trip Friday evening. This was the first time I went out full-on shopping in over a year. I got out a bit last summer, but did not by much and I did not buy any clothing online. I was not working and in lockdown so I did not see the point. It felt good to get out and shop, after a year and half of lock down or semi lockdown, and then working full-time and not really shopping, or taking a break it was quite nice I must say. But I did see this dress in person and it is super cute, the print is even prettier in person. I almost bought it, but ended up buying another dress that was on sale. I am going to share that dress with you next week in my post pandemic haul video.

Here are some more photos from my street style shoots from NYFW SS2021 shot in early fall of 2020. Did not get to Paris this year but I was able to shoot a little here in New York. Turn out was low but there were still some attendees and of course some street style to shoot. There was certainly more of turn out this past September than this past February.

The pressure to look our best is at an all time high and we can squarely blame it on social media. The days of magazines and movies making us feel inferior feels so quaint now. With filters and blow by blow larger then life Insta stories and feeds and everyone looks like a model on YouTube, well OK not really but the pressure can be intense. And celebs are not immune to this pressure either. There has been a lot of talk and buzz on the internet about Khloe Kardashian with many speculating on what kind of plastic surgery she may or may not have had. You kind of have to feel bad for her to a degree with the level of scrutiny she receives. Personally I thought she looked find the way she was but that was I felt, not what she felt.
