new york fashion week: day 6!

aroma espresso bar was my morning adventure, as the internet is quite overloaded all around lincoln center. kind of a sticky situation during the hustle and bustle of fashion week! walked back just in time to catch the action of vera wang attendees exiting onto the secret street: kim kardashian, beyonce, and some of my favorite models! such a fun little crowd back there.i took a chill walk over to the diesel black gold show at pier 59, right on the hudson river (one of my favorite places in this city). i have dreamed about attending this show since my first runway experience, and i couldn't believe it was actually coming true today! the energy inside was indescribable. off to a fantastic start with magdelena opening the show! p.s. the models behind her were rockin' the catwalk with just as much charisma.the collection was outstanding: downtown chic, fiercely filled with attitude, yet still insanely chic. so many fun people at the diesel show! it was like a street style playground for those outside. everyone was in their creative dream element. favorite spot of the day: elin kling! i am an avid blog follower of hers. so fun to meet her in person and shoot some snaps for the bloggity blog.lots of writing to do. so the search for internet begins…starbucks? full. a closing borders? kicked out for sitting on the floor while shoppers raided the shelves. darn. a second starbucks? finally a seat! yipee. one reason i love this city: art is being formed at every moment, even in a crowded coffee shop, where everyone is working on top of each other. with this said~kamel (my favorite parisian street style shooter) tapped me on the shoulder in starbucks with a surprise photo! we had a mini shoot in there while writing reviews. gotta love it. see photos here.met up with aaron, one of the gurus behind 'we are films'! we headed backstage to interview valentino from improv'd. he was also a past designer of diesel, which automatically means he is a design prodigy. shannon did a fabulous job getting lolo magazine reader's the inside scoop (will be posted soon!) on the breath-taking spring collection. the layering and leather weaving details were to die for.this crew of three headed to the empire lobby for a time to unwind, and our friend sam that we met at athen's fashion week joined up! loved getting to recap and talk about memories~old and new!sweet dreams...nanette lepore comes tomorrow morning. it will with out a doubt be a fantastic ending to a fabulous fashion week. bravo to the crews of creatives, artists, designers, photographers, and everyone who takes part in this whirlwind of an industry.

new york fashion week: day 5!

feminine sparkle at jenny packham was better than starting off a morning with blueberry pancakes…glamorous yet muted was the way of this brilliant designer. mandy moore was in attendance, so adorable! the secret street was loaded with carolina herrera incomers! such a fun crowd, from the colorful nicki minaj to the ultimate editor, anna wintour.the calendar beckoned a rachel roy attendance! we made our way over to this fantastic show on the balcony of avery fisher hall, which has the best view of fashion week! fun to see the hustle and bustle from here. my favorite part of the day: lunch with leslie and terry! we had a blast at the delicious rosa mexicana and caught up on months of newness. i adore their sweet friendships!

a booked interview with the wonderful yeohlee brought us to a city escape, a little cottage type brownstone tucked away on east 65th. the garden was set up for an inspiringly (word?) intimate runway show! exploring this designer's knowledge and vision was astounding; she may be the most fascinating person…exuding such a rich and deep spirit!the rachel zoe presentation was next on our super-excited list, so we taxied to midtown to check in on all the hype! the collection was white and pretty. it was fun to see this expert stylist in action, straightening belts and mingling through the crowd along with her good friends and husband. rodger that.writing and more writing. caught up with lincoln center friends. headed to perry ellis. i love the subdued plaid looks in this menswear collection. it was fresh and exquisitely tailored. the show was full of energy!! met up with my sweet friends in the lobby, including marie charles from montreal! so excited for her first season here.

me and shan strolled on over to urban outfitters to search for our trending wish list items, then back to the empire to work the night away! what a fun day.
