I never thought I’d give into harem pants, but I found a slightly toned down pair at Forever 21 a couple of weeks ago. They’re sort of a harem-riding-pant hybrid and I bought them a little big because I’m loving the slouchy look right now.

I wore them a few days ago with my new jacket and tee from Zara, and of course, a loud pair of shoes.

Ideally, I would have had at least a full day to shop in NYC, but what’s a working girl to do? I had to make the most out of 60 minutes on the corner of 5th Avenue and 42nd Street - Zara and H&M. Surprisingly, I flew home feeling completely satisfied.

The Goods…

Whenever I paint, it always ends up on my face, I put eyeshadow on with my fingers, my nails are usually chipped, I always manage to spill hot sauce on clean white shirts and my closet is an absolute disaster.

Aside from my bad luck with hot sauce, the rest can all be attributed to my unpolished approach to art and style. In most cases, the method to my madness is generally embraced, but I can’t help feeling a little self conscious about the chaotic closet. I hate putting things away, especially since sometimes my “getting ready” process involves trying on multiple pieces before settling on a look.

Earlier this week I was in New York City for the T-Mobile Sidekick LX media event, aka Social Club. Though it was my work colleagues who brought me there to help out (thx Shel and Jax!), the event has to be one of my favorite highlights of 2009 - my career in PR and my life as a fashion blogger came together in a real world setting for the first time.

Several of my NY blogger friends attended including Wendy of Nitrolicious, Sarah A. of Pop17, Dina of Eye4Style, Carolyn of The Daily Obsession, Sarah C. of StyleIT, Lauren of Lifestyler Mag, Beka of reLYME, Julia of Fashion Pulse Daily, Tiffany of SixSixSick, Deanne of Dream Sequins and Gauri of The Gloss Box.

This morning I had a major fashion emergency. Though I have to admit, it was pretty funny. I got to the gym right next to my work and realized I left my dress hanging on the bedroom door at home. I carpooled today, so I was pretty much out of luck - just high heels, a pair of leggings and a zip up sweatshirt. I called my coworker/friend Shel to see if she could bring me something, but she had already left. A few minutes later she called me back to let me know she had an XL I Heart SK 3 (T-Mobile Sidekick 3) t-shirt I could wear. Better than nothing, right?

Coincidentally, my company is sending me to NYC this Sunday to help out with the new T-mobile Sidekick LX launch event and the phone was officially announced today. Appreciating the humor in today’s wardrobe malfunction, I stuck a post it note of “LX” next to the SK. After all, the SKLX is the reason I get to go to NY!

The new SKLX is a pretty sweet phone, especially if you’re a social media junkie like me - built in apps for Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and others.
