So I was thrilled to be invited by Lucky Magazine to a blogger shopping/breakfast at Lord & Taylor to kick off New York Fashion Week. After being treated to coffee and breakfast goodies and gifted with $200 to shop the store before it opened to the public, we met Suze Yalof Schwartz, former Fashion Editor at Glamour and current Fashion Editor...  Read More..

It pays to be a fashion & style blogger from Sweden. Elin Kling, who launched her blog, Style by Kling, back in 2007, recently collaborated with H&M to launch an 11-piece capsule collection, with 10 percent of the proceeds going to UNICEF.

Those are just some of the covetable pieces but unfortunately for most, they only will be available in H&M stores in Sweden...  Read More..
