Travel Fashion Guide: A Week At the Lincoln Center

What was once an amazing week under big white tents in Bryant Park – Midtown Manhattan, has moved to the Upper West Side for an even bigger week of fashion at the Lincoln Center. It’s almost that wonderful time of the year again – Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in NYC. Loads of flashing lights, incredible runway shows, parties, shopping, glitz, and glamour – If that doesn’t catch your eye, than perhaps the NYC street fashion as it kicks into high gear will. There are always some really great looks both on and off the runway.

I’m a little sad that I’ll missed most of it, but I’ looking forward to some much needed vaca time in the Caribbean and I’ll be back in time to catch a few shows and parties before the week is over. Two of my favorite shows to watch are Michael Kors and Betsy Johnson, and each always has some amazing pieces for me to pack and take on my next adventure.

This month the Travel Fashion Guide will be introducing you to some fab designers that are on the move.  Menswear, women’s apparel, and accessories  I know you’re going to love learning about these designers and adding some unique pieces to your travel  and everyday wardrobe. Do you have a favorite designer? Live in the NYC Area? What are some of your “go to” pieces for stepping out during fashion week?

Wishing you happy travels! -xo AGT

Travel Fashion Guide: Cruisin’

Hey travelers and fashionistas!

This week, let’s pack our bags to go on a cruise…!! Wherever your cruise destination is, you will look fabulous and ready for a week on the high seas!

Cruise wear can be really fun and simple. a great maxi dress is a comfortable yet dressy look for any cruise. it’s quick to throw on and doesn’t need a lot of accessories. a flat sandal will work perfect, just make sure your toes are done ;) anchors are a great addition to a cruise look and of course, an oversized pair of shades for a dramatic look.

A great reference for looks to mock is the haute couture resort collections. Every year the hottest designers and labels produce a resort collection all about cruises, beaches, and hot vacations people take during the summer. They are an amazing inspiration for sexy, fashionable looks you can wear all summer long.

Soak up the last days of summer and enjoy your vacation :)

Travel Fashion Guide: Hellooo Gentlemen

Hey travelers, fashionistas :)

How did everyone’s vacations go this week with your 10 must have items? I hope it went great and you looked fabulous…

I decided to do something new and different this week… as a girl, I focus a lot on women’s fashion, however, men travel too, so this week I wanted us to take a look at men’s travel outfits to give the men out there some fashion tips

You guys typically pack light when it comes to travel…but 2 outfits that are necessary on any vacation are a casual outfit to tour with during the day and a dressier outfit for your night life experience.

Casual for you can be so much and so simple. A dark, straight leg designer denim is a comfortable and trendy way to look fashionable on vacation. It creates a clean look that’s easy to move in. Adding a band t-shirt to the mix, gives a punk look and layering it with a patterned button up over it adds a slight edge of fashion and a preppy, contrast to the outfit. As all of you know for women I am OBSESSED with a Converse Chucky Taylor, and they are a perfect shoe for men as well…top the look off with our designer accent piece and grab a great pair of shades to really show off the overall look.

Your dress up outfit can be perfect for whether you are going out to a nice restaurant or out for a night on the town. It’s simple, yet chic. Start with again, a designer dark, straight leg denim…classy and simple. Pair that with a Ralph Lauren button up shirt (a slight pop of color will definitely work great here). Layer that with a dark blazer (featured COMME DES GARCONS designer blazer for an accent of designer chic). This keeps the look dressier, but still maintains a trendy look that’s not a full fledge suit.  A Calvin Klein box toe, patent dress shoe gives the blazer a fancier buddy, but still maintains a trendy look to offset the denim. To create a stylish look, top the outfit off with a dark colored fedora and you’ve got a sexy look that will bring all the girls around :)

I hope you men out there have a great week of traveling, looking amazing, stylish, and trendy.
