Mini Update after NY Fashion Week is over...

So this is the first informal entry by NYSH Editor! Something is different for me during this recent NY Fashion Week. Unlike past seasons where I was merely attending and liberated to make any frivolous observation, this time I had to work in many behind the scenes. Although I am abide by the confidential agreement, I normally feel free to share the experience with my audience and readers. However I considered this as a new experience for me, simply put it as the serious side of the business. Along with corporate nature of it, comes corporate privacy. Until I learn on how to express this as a educational information instead of hot fashion gossip I feel that I am not at liberty to divulge such knowledge.

As of the fashion opinion regarding of show after show? I leave that at my coffee shop conversation with my crew composed of models, photographers, writers from various background. I am not trying to be a judge or teacher here as these professions come with a consequence of being scrutinized themselves at a greater and disparaging standard.
On the lighter note, check out some sneak pic of my Fashion Night Out contributions!

From Left-Right Clockwise:

Giuseppe Zanotti (signed by the designer himself at the boutique);
Chanel (During Fashion Night Out, the boutique on 5th Avenue gave an opportunity for clients to be the first in the United States to order a custom-made classic Chanel Classic flap bag. Of course I was one of the few on the list. The clients were allowed to choose their choice of color of the lamb leather outter leather, inner lining, and type of hardware. Also, engraved initial letters was an option. The masterpiece then will be ready for pick up or delivery within 6 months, until then I will not disclose my choice of color/hardware combination);
TOD'S; Tory Burch; Gucci.

How Soon Is Too Soon

Some say that in order to get over a lost love, one needs half the time the actual relationship lasted. Others believe that nothing mends a broken heart like an instant rebound (or five). However, everyone deals with loss differently, and the amount of time necessary to heal after a breakup completely depends on the individual. There is no “acceptable” time frame, although the opinion of those around us may influence us to feel differently in these sensitive circumstances.

One may feel wrong to start a new relationship quickly after a breakup, especially since society tends to judge such a decision rather negatively. Having come across this situation myself recently, I began to wonder what is considered to be the “appropriate” way to conduct myself.

After ending a six month relationship, I accidentally found a guy with the exact qualities I have been searching for in a boyfriend from the moment I started dating, and the lack of which led to the dissolution of my previous relationship. Although it had been less than a month, I was positive that I had no feelings left for my ex and was ready to move on. Inevitably, my head was filled with nagging questions: What would my friends say if I started dating a new guy already?
Would he feel like a rebound? What would my ex-boyfriend think when he found out? However, after long hours of thinking, I concluded that this decision is solely mine to make, and while listening to the opinion of those I love may be helpful, this is still my life to live.

We create our own happiness and we are the only ones responsible for it. So instead of waiting for “enough time” to pass or some sort of go-ahead sign from friends, I let myself dive right into a new relationship and it was truly the best decision I could have made. Not once have I felt guilt or regret – I did what was right for me, and am the happiest I have felt in a while. Therefore, the moral of the story is that when it comes to seeing someone new after going through a breakup, you are the only one who can decide when the time is right. Personally, I do not believe in starting a new serious relationship in order to forget about the ex, this usually just leads to more confusion and hurt feelings, and not only your own. But if you do happen to stumble upon Prince Charming after parting ways with a frog, then please do yourself a favor – disregard everyone else’s opinions let your inner princess get swept off her feet.
