I attended the Elle/Armani Shopping Event hosted by the fierce and fabulous Style Director of Elle, Kate Lanphear last night . Shoppers who spent $100 at the store was able to get a A|X Pima t-shirt customized with embellishments and get styling advice by Kate. I would be totally lying if my main goal was just to get a t-shirt embellished. I was in the majority that came out just to meet Kate

I usually don't blog about celebrities, actresses or whatever because of the obvious reasons that some of them are... not mentally stable regardless of their fashion choices. But one young adult actress that I admire for her commendable movie roles and they way she carries herself is Natalie Portman. Since her role in The Professional I haven't seen her passed out drunk in a car or worst, coming

Frida Kahlo's presence was definitely felt at Alexander Michael Snyder's debut show as the models graced the yellow catwalk showing off his spring 2010 collection. Inspired by the Mexican artist, the textures were impressive, the colors were dramatic, and the looks were polished and mature. The runway was filled with high collars, big shoulders, girly yet sophisticated lace, and bright teal and

Due to the weather a last minute change to the Tribeca Grand Hotel didn't stop the crowd from viewing Abigial Lorick's collection. Three Mediums the theme of the presentation with an artist there painting the girls on a portait as they posed for the fashionista crowd. There were three sittings titled, The Watercolor, The Pastel and The Acrylic. I really enjoyed the abstract prints that was used

New York Fashion Week is just around the corner and while for the past few years the Bryant Park Tents has been the haven for bloggers like myself, it's not the only place this time around.The Hautelook lounge located in the penthouse of the Bryant Hotel will feature previews of Alvin Valley, Lula Frost Spring 2010 collection and others. However the best part to the Lounge is the free Wi-Fi.

I had the great pleasure of attending the Geren Ford Fall 2009 collection last season at NY Fashion Week. So it wonderful to know that the Geren Ford brand is expanding by launching their first online store. Now all the uber-chic dress that I was lusting for is available online.

There's been so much of buzz surrounding Nina Garcia, from Project Runway being on Lifetime, her role on the Beautiful Life and recently the changes in the fashion department at Marie Claire. Regardless of all that she's always calm, cool and collective.

Thank heaven, therefore, for Grace Coddington. A former model who now resembles a witch somewhat, she's Vogue's creative director and comes up with the magazine's most creative spreads. In the film, she shares the spotlight with Wintour as the only staff member who's not afraid of the boss. Her sensibilities, old fashioned and inspired by art rather than commerce, offer a nice counterpoint to her

Once upon a time under the tents at Bryant Park during fashion week I was hounded by questions by a curly haired boy, no taller than five feet. We were in the line for the Twinkle show and he wanted to know how does someone get tickets for this shows? Obviously he snucked in and was clueless of the machine that runs New York Fashion Week.Fast forward to now Marc Sebastian has crashed the front

I guess a second time is a charm. The first time I interviewed at Teen Vogue was the same time (in the same week) I interviewed for my first internship. That day I actually had two interviews with both of the assistants, tip: Always carry more than two copies of your resume. I had to sadly decline the internship because it conflicted with the class schedule. A full year later saw a posting on

John Crocco, the Creative Director for Perry Ellis Menswear knows in these crazy times mixing it up is essential. For the Fall 2009 there were a mix of old and new looks for Perry Ellis. John went back to the history of Perry Ellis and modernized it for today. There were blazers paired with dark rinse jeans, buttons down shirts with chunky knitted cardigan. Also there were plaid pants, a litttle
