Oh So Random in NYC
This is a culmination of all things completely random from a crazy NYC native in her mid twenties. I think of things you cant even imagine and have been known to be in my own world. Fashion, sales, finance, FOOD, and oh so much more. Enjoy!

I love this blog. i feel that by reading this blog I increase my odds of being the seemingly smartest person in a room. Never mind that for the next few weeks the "room" is only populated by my self and a chihuahua.

Apparently, wearing earrings by men is not a new thing. Even William Shakespeare wore one. Earrings became an object of male fashion at the time of the English Renaissance, in the late 1500′s. At the time of Shakespeare (d. 1616) earrings were emblematic of poets.

Fashion Week! (And where to watch online)
New York Fashion Week returns to Manhattan on Thursday, and there are more ways than ever to tune in online.
More than 80 designers are planning to unveil their Spring/Summer 2014 collections simultaneously on-site and to consumers via live-streaming video, about the same number as last year. In addition, backstage footage from brands will appear on social networks such as Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Google+ and Vine. Members of the fashion press, too, will be reporting live from the front row, following up with slideshow-accompanied reviews on their respective news sites.
We've gathered the best resources for enjoying the goings-on via your desktop, mobile phone and social media. If we've missed any important resources, please let us know in the comments section below.
Live and On-Demand Video
Fifty-nine shows will be streaming live from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, headquartered in Lincoln Center, and another 15 will be streaming from Made Fashion Week in downtown Manhattan. You can see complete schedules on the official website of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and atmadefashionweek.com. In the latter schedule, livestreamed shows are marked in red.
To tune in live at any time, we recommend bookmarking the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week YouTube livestreamand Made Fashion Week's livestream on Rightster.
In addition to the shows listed on those sites, several high-profile designers will be streaming their collections elsewhere — on Facebook, for example, or on their own websites. We've listed those individually below.
