Posted on February 9, 2013 by Raijean S

As you guys know, I’m here in New York for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week! Some of my Pre-Fashion Week activities included attending various events; one of them was the launch of SoftSheen Carson’s New Optimum AMLA Legend Haircare Relaxer and Maintenance Line. The event held at Aire Ancient Baths in Tribeca was a pretty swanky affair hosted by RHOA’s Cynthia Bailey.

Events: Winter Lobby Eats at The Peninsula Chicago

Posted on December 3, 2012 by Raijean S

Last week, I was invited to try the new holiday menu at the Lobby Restaurant located in the Peninsula Chicago Hotel. I’ve never been to the Peninsula for dining before so I was super excited to see what the restaurant had in store!

Last week, Eddie Bauer invited several bloggers to the Michigan Ave. location to preview and style the holiday 2011 collection. They wanted bloggers to show them how we “dress down”.

My Style: What I wore for Fashion Night Out (FNO)

Posted on September 20, 2011 by Raijean S

In an effort to not deplete my bank account for my 10 days in New York, I decided I would try to stick with things that were already in my closet but remix it… For the most part, I’m very happy to say that I stuck to my plan and it worked in my favor. I switched up the way I wore my pieces in Chicago and to my surprise I got a lot of compliments and several website features while in New York!! Since I knew I would be doing a ton of walking in New York, I opted … Read More
