A few years ago I delved into the world of blogging under the title "thatSkinnyBrownGirl"... It was fitting enough...I am a girl, I am brown, and yes, I am def on the skinny side. -trust me, this isn't always a positive label, especially now that the thicky curve look is IN-... Anyways, I still post for this blog: thatSkinnyBrownGirl ...mainly about silly events that happen in my life, interesting things I see day to day, thought-worthy quotes, a bit of suga, some spice...you know, just a mixture of things. I never thought about narrowing this mixture down however... until a few days ago.
I had just rushed from the tents at Bryant Park to Port Authority after viewing the ARISE: African Promise Collective Show for NY Fashion week. -Side Note, I love greyhound. I really do. I'd much rather take the bus during my travels than ride the train. Cushy seats, no stops, and sometimes they play movies? YES.-
Anywhooo....I was on a mini high. You see, I had attended shows at fashion week this year, and a year prior, but the ARISE show was one that I'd been dying to see. I just never had tickets...This year however I was able to finagle my way in, (Special SBG shoutout to my friend, photographer Todd Walker, for hooking me up!)
Either way, as I stood in line I noticed out of the corner of my eye a fabulously dressed, curly haired fellow fashionista hanging onto an ARISE fashion magazine..."She must have attended the show." I thought to myself. So, I asked her...she said "Yes", and that started a lovely conversation in which I was introduced to DC born-currently Philadelphian creative bloggerMs. Andrea "FlyGirlBlog" Pippins. We began to chat about the show as we waited for the bus to arrive, and the conversation led to blogging. Never mind what the conversation was about in detail, just know that I was very impressed by Miss FlyGirl and inspired to create something of my own.
Call me a biter... there truly are hundreds of fashion/style blogs. Yet, I just see myself as another set of eyes...another point of view. I am a fellow artist taking a light from the torch and burning it in my own special way. There are tons of things, interesting people, creative pieces, and inspiring new trends that I see on my travels and just want to share with the world... so check out STYLESKINNY.TYPEPAD.COM (go head/click on this link) and get the skinny on what's fresh in style. ...and don't worry, my crazy life and a whole lot more nonsense will continue to be posted on THATSKINNYBROWNGIRL2.BLOGSPOT.COM. Hope you enjoy both!
ps. I've posted about the rest of my time in the tents on the new site.
