It’s not everyday that you’re asked to style the host of a New York City fashion week event.<\/p>\n

But for little ‘ole Sammy Davis Vintage — that day was Sunday, when the founder of the fashion blog Creative Cookie<\/a> and host\/event organizer behind tomorrow’s NYFW sustainable fashion event “Mind Over Matter<\/strong>” asked me to style her in vintage to shine in the spotlight at one of the week’s most attended and buzzed about events.<\/p>\n

I love “trying” to trace back my relationships to their origins. As my world grows to include so much energy and positive influence from people new and old, I find it harder and harder — and also, less necessary! — to know how\/where I met everyone I consider a friend, colleague or support.<\/p>\n

Lesley is one of those people. I could say I met her at a party … but I don’t know which one. I could say a friend email introduced us … but which friend? Or maybe we met a bloggers conference, or just through the internet of tweeting\/Facebook liking\/ FourSquare check-ins and everything else digital inclined in the online social sphere.<\/p>\n

But like I said, the origins of our relationship no longer matter. Because as people who live in the moment, we can embrace the relationship for what it is right now<\/strong>, and love our connection because it is continually fresh, continually inspiring, and always true, authentic and good.<\/p>\n

I showed Lesley one of my new favorite East Village vintage stores — No Relation Vintage<\/a> — and styled her in three distinct vintage fashion looks<\/strong> for the “Mind Over Matter” event at Greenhouse in NYC’s West Village. If you’re in Manhattan or a surrounding borough and want to participate in this year’s NYFW in a way that’s conscious and care-driven for the health & wealth of our planet & its people, then I highly suggest you RSVP for the event and stop by to introduce yourself to Lesley and the other stylishly sustainable ladies & gents attending. Oh, and wear vintage!<\/em> [wink, wink!]<\/p>\n

Keep reading after the jump to see how I styled Lesley in three vintage fashion outfits from No Relation Vintage … and for a bit of inspiration to kick off New York City Fashion Week!<\/p>\n

Whatever you’re doing to celebrate a new season of fashion and an entire year of creative inspiration — and no matter where you live, because not everyone has access to this high-brow events! — I know that you’re out there thrifting, saving money, gaining style, and investing in fabulous vintage pieces.<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s what fashion is all about:<\/strong> Reaching your highest creative potential.<\/em> And thanks to a growing awareness about healthy, “slow” fashion [versus the fast fashion of H&Ms, Forever 21s, Charlotte Russes’ and the like] you can now elevate that potential farther<\/strong> by looking to second hand and vintage for a stylishly sustainable YOU.<\/p>\n

And remember: Your creativity inspires ME! Always looking for a bit of inspiration, so shoot me a line on email<\/a>, a holler on Facebook<\/a> or a twitty tweet on Twitter!<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
