Lauren Sanchez opted for a white suit to the 2025 Presidential Inauguration, and so many are up in arms about her look. Styled by Kelly Johnson, the Alexander McQueen suit was previously worn by the author and journalist when she spoke at the Forbes Power Women’s Summit on September 11, 2024. Is re-wearing an outfit the fashion faux pas, or does this particular style lead to raised eyebrows? Although I love the fantasy of fashion, what I love even more is when we get realistic about how often we wear…

Resources For The Los Angeles Fires
Los Angeles is known to experience fires and earthquakes, but the Pacific Palisades fire is a disaster that the residents have never seen before. What started in Pacific Palisades and was expected to move toward the beach has done the unexpected and drove east right after the fire spread north to Topanga Canyon and west to Malibu. Expanding to more than 17,200 acres, the Palisades fire left thousands of people displaced from their homes. What makes this so devastating is there are multiple fires taking place in different parts of…
An Epic End to 2024 Events | B&H 2024 Wrapped
B&H blew me away with their epic 2024 Wrapped Party! With multiple activations that stimulates various senses, I was quite intrigued by the incredible production that Deanna Testa and her team put together for hundreds of creators. I threw on a floral Nicole Miller asymmetrical dress with a floral jacket and a fuchsia sequin beret. It was a very chilly evening, so the line outside the venue on Canal Street surprised me as I wondered how anyone was going to cope with waiting to get checked in as they endured…
Soho International Film Festival Awards Night Gala 2024
Upon entry into Circo for the Soho International Film Festival Awards Night Gala, I went to the VIP section where Ashley-Lauren Elrod was seated watching the stage from afar. The room was filled with high energy and joy as everyone was focused on the stage while actors, producers, directors, and writers were being awarded as they were compared to their peers who took part in the Soho International Film Festival. There are moments that help me learn that I’ve truly grown. After eating, the waiter came to clear the table…
What I Learned From Hosting The Creator Logic NYC Holiday Party 2024
I probably wouldn’t believe you if you told me I’d be co-hosting a holiday event in 2024. I’m so grateful to have been able to organize and produce the Creator Logic NYC Holiday Party! Created by Avi Gandhi, Creator Logic is the premiere resource for those working in influencer marketing as well as influencers/creators. Although I’m not new to events, I spent some time isolated and started getting back to the real me late last year. I’ve been working in marketing for about 7 years and during my pre-marketing days,…
Last Brunch of 2024: The Smith
I’ve wanted to brunch at The Smith for years. The midtown staple’s previous green stripe exterior initially caught my eye 8-10 years ago. I knew I had to check it out at some point, but I kept forgetting. When my best friend, Marllory said she wants to do brunch at midtown, I sent her a list. The Smith was included in the list and my emphasis of my interest in going to The Smith for years led her to believe our choice was a no-brainer. The decade-long interest was the…
Advertising Week New York 20 Exceeded My Expections
I started off Advertising Week New York 20 eager to gain new insights about the creator economy and actually thought I could attend at least 10 sessions per day but that was not the case. Upon entry, on day 1, I realized AWNY 20 is certainly not like other conferences. From brand activations by TikTok, Netflix, Instacart, Meta, Snapchat, Canva & so many more, along with the thousands of marketers heading to sessions or catching a bite in the Oasis Lounge, I knew this is not the average conference. Stopping…
Get Out of Your Way – Creator Economy NYC
Are you getting in your own way? I recently decided to get out of my way and it has elevated my life. The things that would have stopped me in my tracks no longer matter because I decided that I can’t keep getting in my way. If you’re not new to Befitting Style, then you know personal appearance is very important to me. My amazing mum raised me to always look my best. A couple of weeks ago, while being out and about, my Zara crop top ripped. If this…
B&H Photo Capturing Fashion at NYFW SS25
I can’t think of a better way to kick off New York Fashion Week than hanging with B&H Creators by B&H Photos and learning to capture fashion with Canon. I grew up watching YouTube and noticed that a lot of my faves used Canon cameras for their content. Although I found that interesting, I still never cared to use a Canon camera. Once I created my YouTube channel, I began filming with my Nikon D5500. I’ve only created with Nikons and played around a bit with Sonys so it was…
Fashinnovation Worldwide Talks 2024 – NYFW SS25
New York Fashion Week started a bit early for me as I kicked off the SS25 season at Fashinnovation Worldwide Talks which was filled with a wealth of knowledge. I’ve never attended a conference during NYFW but there’s a first time for everything. At Fashinnovation, industry leaders discussed sustainability, entrepreneurship, economic development, and trends. I threw on a purple and green plaid dress and went to the 11th annual Fashinnovation Conference. The sustainability panel resonated with me as I don’t believe we should throw away our clothes. Clothing should be…
