Recap: Aldo A-List Party with Roni Simpson

Roni Simpson & Me

Last Friday night I kicked off the Easter weekend at Roni Simpson's Aldo A-List Party at the 5th Avenue Aldo in NYC. It was a networking/shopping event where she was getting to know people and encouraging us to mingle with each other, while Aldo offered 15% off all purchases. I'd say it was pretty chill with a great turn out and energy plus awesome DJs playing everything from Dancehall/Reggae music from like 10 years ago or more to
current Pop/Hip Hop.

I really liked the cheese selections

I got an invite from a friend and it was my first time hearing about Roni of TheLatestReports.com. I'm glad I met her. She was real down to earth, sweet and friendly. Originally a Cali native, she moved to NYC a year ago and I'd say she's doing a great job of fitting in. You know, throwing this sweet networking party and all. She was also SERVING in her black sequin jumper, red lips and fabulous hair!

I was loving the winged eyeliner on the girl next to her.

What I Wore: Youtube Unplugged Concert

In my last post I did a recap of the Youtube Unplugged Concert which was in celebration of the first ever 2013 Youtube Music Awards. Now here's what I wore.

It's still Summer in my head so I wore this yellow striped shirt I bought in April to bring some sunshine into my life. I tied it with my dark thrifted jeans, dark blue blazer, brown ankle boots, and brown zipper clutch for a Fall look. NYC was a nice 71 degrees that day so I only had to wear my black leather jacket with no sweater layer. Awesome!! I finished off with the purple lippie that was giving me any and all kinds of life that day.

I snapped some photos of my outfit of the day real quick before I left. I'm pretty sure that was why I was late for the concert and missed Chescaleigh's performance(yes, I'm still mad about it). But I couldn't NOT take photos before I left. That would just be wrong. In hindsight, I should have dressed earlier.

So, how are you adjusting to the cold? 
Are you feeling that Summertime sadness?
I don't like this one bit.
