Four years is a long time, that’s how long you’re in high school and then college…and apparently that’s how long I’ve been on Twitter too. I don’t recall if I’ve had the same photo the entire time, but I have had it for a loonnnggg while, like to the point where I’m pretty sure I’ve noticeably aged. So with the recent shoot I did, I figured it was time for some ch-ch-changes!

There’s always something fashionable to do when it’s social media week. I highly suggest checking out this panel.

Not too long ago, one of my fav designers Charlotte Ronson tweeted a little tidbit about her partnership with mega-fitness club, Equinox.
While it seems like her show is always one the toughest to get into during NYFW, I find it kind of enlightening she chose to partner with a company that’s somewhat outside of the fashion industry. Given this is fashion after all and we love to be fit (and skinny), it’s refreshing she opted to partner with the gym.

So what does fit combo entail? Fans can enter to win a VIP once-in-a-lifetime Fashion Week experience on Equinox’s Facebook page. Given all fans have to do is fill out a few questions to answer, the ROI on this giveaway is pretty humongous. Two randomly selected winners will get first class airfare and access to Charlotte’s show along with the A-list treatment at restaurants. I’m assuming the winning pair will also receive clothes from Ronson’s line too.
