New York Fashion Week Day 4: More Bloggers oh my!

There were two events that I attended and they all reinforced why I like to be a fashion blogger. The first was the Chictopia10 after party which Corrine of Chictopia invited me to. What an honor! The store was more glamorous than what I thought it would be and I got some designer silly bands. I am now apart of the crazy silly bandz club.

This the wonderful Dara (with her two good friends) she has been working hard as a Teen Vogue intern.
She, along with Chelsea are an inspiration! 

 

Yes I went shopping. I ended up with a long pant jumper. 

Love ladies. To the left is Laura of On The Racks.
She is super sweet and hope to see her next season!

To the right is Pamela of Market Publique. I was drooling over her dress.

If you are fabulous enough to use a rhinestone encrusted mouse then you should have one.

The next day I  went to the IFB Tweet Up in the Skybox. Micheal Boardman (aka Mr. Mickey) of Paper Magazine. There was an eerie silence but so many of the bloggers in attendance had great questions to ask. I've never been one to think of a good question to ask at these sorts of things but I did take a few pictures!

New York Fashion Week Day 3: J.Cheikh Presentation

Sophie Lin and friend

 I arrived a little late, being lost the the "wonder" of 7 Ave. I was happy to see model Sharri Sutton as the Dj, she kept the party live. The models wore 3 looks and my favorite was this red velvet suit. It was non abrasive to the touch. Now I want one of my own. Aziz M. was on site with his IPad and let me take a look at his collection. When talking with Sophie Lin, the designer of J.Cheikh, she told me her collection had been lost in the mail. My jaw dropped! She was pretty resilient and will be showing at Chicago Fashion Week in October! Sophie was such a warm person and I wish her all the best. Be sure

Dj Sharri Sutton

I want to be best friends with this guy.

He was rocking some studded Louboutin oxfords.

New York Fashion Week: Day 2

Getting in the swing of things was very easy here in New York. There was so much get done during Fashion's Night Out.  I am sad to say I missed most of the pandemonium but I think I had my shareFashion night out was a great way to have fun amongst the "business stuff".  First the Kamau (bossman), Lesley, a few friends, and I headed to Kate Spade for Tim Gunn's book signing. I got see him but hordes of people were around him. The Kate Spade store looked so beautiful And I need a metal bow for fall. It is on my list.

A beautiful bow accent that reoccurs in the store.

Blane Charles and Lesley

This is what I call a win-win situation.

 

Even the staff was polished.

These ladies are my inspiration. They have a blog you should check out.

What we came there for!  He was such a nice man. And Kamau got great footage for his documentary. It is something I can't talk about yet but am super duper excited about. 

I also went to Rug Co. where Mr. Editor-at-Large Hamish Bowles sang. I have some unedited footage to show you via Google video but will be editing video once I get back home. He selected English standard.

 He is singing "Out in the Noonday Sun".

New York Fashion Week: Day 0 and 1

My internship is fantastic. Thank you all for your well wishes. I have met and worked with so many amazing people and this is just the beginning! I arrived in New York and was able to settle into my new digs for the next two weeks. The first night we went to a production featuring clothing by Emilie Jerard. She is a New Jersey designer who is really into goth wear but much more sophisticated than your average Hot Topic shopper. She is worth a closer look.

Can't wait to shop with her in Philly.

The next day was the 2nd annual IFB conference! So much fun because I met old friends and new. Most of the bloggers were fantastic public speakers and I was most impressed with how they presented themselves. My favorites were Susie Bubble, Bryan Boy, and Amy Odell of The Cut. Jenine of IFB, once again out did herself. I will be at the IFB/Amex tweet up on Monday. Come say hi!
