Wanna Hangout???

I have some exciting news for my readers! You all know I absolutely adore Google+ Hangouts (where you can video chat in groups of up to ten people). It's so fun and interactive...and a great way to meet readers that you normally wouldn't get to speak with due to geographical restrictions.

I'm happy to announce that one of my favorite bloggers from Australia, Sevan from Seven Autumn Leaves, will be co-hosting a Google+ Hangout session with me next week! Now since her and I have a 14 hour time difference between us (Sevan in Melbourne and myself in NYC) finding a time to hold this was rather tricky! This hangout session will be going on 8pm Friday, May 10th eastern time (and 10am Saturday, May 11th for those of you in Melbourne). For those of you in between here and there you can figure out the time according to your own time zone!  :-P

Up to eight people can join us for a chat about fashion, style, and trends! If you would like to join in on the conversation please leave your email address below in the comment section and I'll be sure to get you in the circle. Now like I said, there is only enough room for eight to join us...so I'll put the first eight on the list...however, if there are more than eight that are interested in joining us I will put them on a waiting list in case a space opens up. I do ask that you make sure you have Google+, a webcam, a microphone, and KNOW HOW TO USE THE HANGOUT SESSION FEATURE! If you have any questions feel free to email me and I'll try to help you out. It really is super easy!

If you know you cannot make it but still want to join in on the fun we are asking that you leave us some questions about fashion and we will try to answer them during the hangout. You can leave your questions in the comment section below, email them to me, or even leave them in a comment on my Facebook. The first portion of the hangout will be answering reader's questions...and then the second half we'll be talking about our favorite trends and how to wear them.

I'm also going to try to record the hangout session to share with everyone that cannot join. I've never tried recording a hangout before...so hopefully I'll do that correctly!

I hope many of you can join in on the fun! It's always wonderful meeting readers!

One Piece Worn Three Ways

I have to admit, sometimes I can be really cheap. Spending close to $200 on a pair of pants is a stretch for me. So if I'm going to be shelling out the money for them I definitely want to wear them as much as I can...and in as many ways (and in as many environments) as possible! Gotta get the bang for my buck! So below I am showing an adorable pair of striped jeans and how you can really wear them just about anywhere. They are also a fun way to bring two trends into your wardrobe: stripes and black & white.

Okay this one isn't difficult at all, but the hair and makeup might throw some of you for a loop! I'll give her some credit and blame this look on the 90's. Who is it?

*Snapshot Fashion on Instagram*

Are you following Snapshot Fashion on Instagram yet? Even though I try to update my blog daily, I find myself updating my Instagram a few times a day. Follow along and you'll get a glimpse into my life in NYC, behind the scenes of a fashion blogger, and my love for photography...not to mention a zillion photos of my sweet pup Rocko.

Here are a few highlights over the last week---

1) Enjoying the 70 degree weather and sunshine in Central Park with Rocko. He was so happy!

2) Along the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, enjoying the view of the NYC skyline.

3) A little sneak peek of the photoshoot I did with Sammy Davis.

4) Hoping for a little peace and love after all of the terrible things that have been going on in the world lately.

5) The festive decor at La Palapa in the East Village where I brought some out of town friends for dinner before a bachelorette party celebration.

6) Chrissy, Holly (the bride-to-be), Kim, and myself getting crazy!  :-)

Emma vs. Emma

For some reason I'm often mixing up Emma Roberts and Emma Watson. So crazy because I think of myself as a celebrity buff (and my friends can attest to that). They are both in their early 20's, both of them are absolutely stunning, and both have an amazing sense of style...oh yeah, and they are both named Emma! So you can see how I would often make the mix up, right?

Let's take a closer look at each of their individual styles-

EMMA ROBERTS

EMMA WATSON

Which Emma's style do you love more? I'm kind of torn...I really think they both look fabulous. But, I might lean more towards Emma Watson's just because she seems to like to take chances more.

And The Winner Is...

Thanks so much to everyone that has entered the Shabby Apple $50 gift card giveaway...but alas, there can only be one winner. Since I would love to pick everyone as a winner I used the generator on random.org to pick one for me. And the winner is...

Steffi

Congrats! I'll be contacting you shortly...so keep an eye out for an email from me.

Mellow Yellow

The Pantone color of the year may be emerald...but lately I'm seeing so much yellow around that I think emerald has taken a backseat. Yellow is so fresh for spring and summer...and it's an instant mood booster (don't you think?).

Emmy Rossum in Topshop

Olivia Wilde in Monique Lhuillier

I took a look in my closet and noticed that I do not own anything in a yellow hue! I immediately started searching online for some fabulous yellow pieces and here are some of my favorites---

Poplin-Crepe Dress available at Old Navy

Pintucked Skirt available at Gap

Ponte Flounce Dress available at Ann Taylor

Porch Picnic Dress by Tulle Clothing available at ModCloth

Jarlo Belted Maxi Dress available at ASOS
