COUNTDOWN: 2 days till FFFWEEK!!!!

2. Taxi!

Do you know where you are going? Have you been to New York before? If not public transportation and getting around can be terrifying. I've got a few tip as and tricks to help you get around. Whether you are looking for a taxi, bus, or subway you will need to have some idea of where you are actually going. 

a. Uber, despite recent scandal, is my FAVORITE choice for being picked up. They offer regular taxis, black cars, and SUVs. They even have promos that can get you $20 off your first ride. Uber works through an app on your phone. The app allows you to arrange a pick up and it gives you an estimate on how much the ride will cost. It connects to your debit/credit card or paypal account so that you don't have to worry about carrying cash or taking your stuff out your purse. Uber has always had a fast response time for me and you get the name and a photo of your driver before they get to you. 



b. HopStop. This app is genius. It's gps for the public transit system in New York. It is easy to follow and accurate. Even the travel times are correct. I don't live in New York and u only visit about once a year but I keep this app on my phone at all times. HopStop is your best travel friend.
These are my favs for transportation in New York. I keep these two apps available to get around the city and they work. Whenever I can I try to buddy up with people going in my direction, especially late at night. Safety is always a priority. It's going to be an amazing week and I want to live to tell about it. Ladies 2 days left!!! Who's excited!

Swim Thick with Francie Maupin

Francie Maupin has been sketching fashions since her preteen years so it was only a matter of time before she put together a line of her own. She introduces The Diva Kurves Collection by premiering, Swim Thick, a line of swimsuits geared toward curvy women. In a market where the bar for plus sized swimwear has been dramatically raised by Monif C, Nakki Muli, and Cacique, Swim Thick is pushing its way into the mix to make sure all the curvy ladies are covered, literally. Swim Thick will cover standard sizes but will also offer options for ladies with bottom heavy proportions so that they will be able to find swimsuits that fit their curves just right. The extra focus on the ladies with extra curves definitely sets Swim Thick apart from other plus size swimwear. We dig in deeper about Miss Maupin and the release of Swim Thick: How did you start? What triggered you to start a swim line? It seemed like every time I would enter a store or boutique and ask, "where are the plus...

#LiveFashion with Stylist Jackie Turner

Fashion is built on foundation. In order to look good from the outside you have to start solid. Words of gold from Jackie Turner, an aspiring stylist out of Atlanta, fashion is her life... Turner is on a mission to become a personal stylist. Her goal is to help women who struggle with self esteem by showing them how to accent their true selves through fashion. Turner believes that when women are able to see themselves in a mirror how they see themselves in their heads, the positive visions, they can begin to accept and express who they are freely. Turner has had to over come obstacles in her own life and so her theories are from experience. Bullying and mean girls had been part of her every day struggle until she realized that she had a voice. Once she started to realize that she was in control of who she was and that she did not have to be what they told her she began to form her own personal style. Soon other people n...
