Loaf

Long week and a fight with a certain someone isn't helping. But I'm glad you guys like the pics from the press preview. Been running around a lot and realized I need a new great comfy pair of flats. Taylor on RZP was wearing such cute loafers in Monday's episode, I wish I can get a pic. I never thought I could like loafers again. I used to make fun of my mom for buying JP TODS in every single color. But I guess mother knows best because she has them in every single color and they have lasted her for years and years. Well now I'm in need of a good loafer; trying to switch it up from the usual ballet flat (ugh they bore me).

I actually just tried these on the other, dumb me for not buying them. How cute are they? Forever21 has a cute pair too but they're patent leather which I'm ehh on. And while we're still on Bakers aren't these adorable too? I'm really loving the whole oxford english look these days. Will probably head back to the mall and pick them up.

Hope you're all having a good week...I'm anxiously waiting for a package from Forever. Taking too damn long.

Press Preview

I told you I would show you guys some pictures from the press preview. Well here you go. Not going to mention the names of the designers for credits issues. Bla bla bla I'm sure you know what I mean. (Well you can obviously see from one picture one name of the clients.) But thought I'd share some of my favorite pictures from the day. I have so many to go through but this is pretty much all of it. Except that we also had two bedrooms that were filled with different handbags in amazing colors. Enjoy!

Are those skull stands not to die for? I love.

My absolute favorite designer of all them. She's so cool and her all her pieces are like grungy rock n roll chic. She begged me to wear some of them during the day. I was like you don't have to ask me twice. Can't wait to wear more of her.
Me wearing some stuff. How amazing is that bracelet?

Although it was crazy it was so fun to play dress up and just keep switching off pieces throughout the two days. It was like a new outfit every hour. Love it.

I Like My Money Right Where I Can See It

...hanging in my closet. One of my fave SATC quotes. Got through the long and stressful press preview and therefore fashion week for me is dunzo. Was too exhausted from last nights madness of having to show the clients and then clean up the hotel room so I unfortunately didn't participate in Fashion's Night Out. Was gonna go to Saks to see J.Timb but been there done that so I opted out. A friend asked me to come to Lord & Taylor and write an article about what went on last night but again too tired. So yea I was a party pooper but did drink plenty of champagne with my bosses in our room in between clients. Btw I work for a fashion pr firm that focuses on up and coming accesories desginers. I don't work for a magazine, in case I might have confused you. I promise once I upload the pictures I took from the past two days I will post them here and show you guys what it was all about.

Anyway got these fabo boots. And most of you know by now I've been complaining that I want lace up boots. Well here these babies are and even though I haven't worn them yet, I love them and can't wait to play dress up. Oh and yup got them on Ebay. It was a buy it now or best offer and yea my mom's a serious pro on ebay and we got a great deal: a total of 25 bucks including the shipping.

And one day when I'm not lazy I'll start using my camera and not just my laptop. Thanks to you guys for commenting and keeping me calm during fashion week. It really helped. =) Have a good wknd!

Also today is a sad day in NYC. We will never forget all those people we lost 8 years ago today. I'll never forget where I was when I heard the news and not to mention the countless hours my family & I would stand by the bay & see where the beautiful skyline has changed. I even remember standing in my backyard and ashes flying all around my neighborhood. That's how close. Never Forget.

Take It Home Baby

Fashion week has begun which means hectic hectic hectic. Spent all day and most of the night at the hotel setting up for tomorrow's big press event featuring all our clients only to have to wake up in a few hours and head back. So officially exhausted and wish I was in a bed with satin sheets with a bat to hit something. Sometimes it just fun to break things. Although I'm stressed and about to be running on very low sleep and have a terrible tummy ache, I'm excited to see how everything works out tomorrow. Plus got my bff to help out with the event. Accessories, bff and champagne...I can't complain.

Peace until the madness is over ;)

what comes after hate? H-NINE!

Haha..I love that joke (title) for some reason. Heard my cousin telling it to his son who's 8 and he goes dad that's not funny. Meanwhile I'm 21 laughing hysterically. Cool lex! Anyway been spending this weekend mainly soaking up the last of the sun. I guess this is the official last weekend of summer. Sucks even though I've been begging for some cooler weather but I'm quickly eating my words. Aside from tanning and spending time with the fam for the holiday wknd I made a bunch of these bracelets in minature sizes for my cousin. Her son's school is having their annual fundraiser and she thought it'd be a good idea if I made some bracelets for them. (Pre-k to 5th graders..so yea I call them teacup bracelets...hehe if you watch Trueblood you'll understand that reference.) My little cousins go to PS 8 so instead of my usual spiritual charms I made a whole bunch with the number "8". Hard to see in the pic but they are adorable.

Prepping this week with the office for our big press event for all the clients for fashion week. Instead of a fashion show because these are mainly accessories desginers, we have a suite rented where all the accessories will be displayed and editors will be walking in and out. So that means busy week. Hope everyone is having a good holiday wknd.

RZP

The other day in class we were asked to admit our favorite tv guilty pleasures and hey I am not ashamed to admit that The Rachel Zoe Project is my ULTIMATE fave. I don't even see it as a guilty pleasure because I am so in love with her, her style, and her team. "I Die!" I swear I watch each episode several times to seriously take in all the fabulous outfits RZ and Taylor wear (not the mention the fabulousness of Brad). I love even more that RZ is all about things vintage and she has a serious collections of fur that's to die for.

Unfortunately as much as I love the way it looks, I can't bring myself to wear fur. Dad's a vet, mum's a serious animal lover. Yea so I grew up with all things animals. However I do eat meat (rarely though) and wear leather, so I guess I'm a hypocrite to some people but it's just something about fur that I can't wear. I even own a fur coat given to me as a present by my aunt and uncle which is gorgeous but I can't wear it. (My uncle owns a pretty serious leather manufacturing company in the city which provides leather for furniture but also designers including Uggs.) But I cannot help but love the look of a plush cream fur vest as seen on RZ.

Good news for me there are so many designers now going pro-PETA and working with the faux look and I am in love. Last year my little sister talked me out of getting a faux one (that was simply gorgeous) from Forever21 bc she said I looked like big foot. Major regret esp since it was like 30 bucks. I swear I'm not listening to people talk me out of buying things ever again. Maybe that one will come back to stores but I also really love this on by Rachel Roy for Macy's. "Bananas!" Who would have known I'd love Monday nights; thank you RZP! Plus just read this article about RZ's collection coming to QVC! YES!!

Knock Three Times

School and work are kicking my ass. I'll live. Got to close down shop today while my bosses went for a meeting with a client. I love them; it's only been four days but it's going great. Anyway while I had the time to myself to hold down the fort my laptop died so I just browsed through the endless racks of magazines the office accumulates. Fell madly in love with this Elizabeth & James sweater featured in the new InStyle mag. Hello sequins, black, sweatshirt-does it get much better. A tad pricey but fun to look at nontheless.

Now time to chill out and pos watch Adventureland (awesome movie). I eventually want to do more outfit posts but I'm such a bum when I go to school that it's not worth it & by the time I come home from work I run fast to the shower...so we'll see.

anyway...xx
