I am in love with this champagne colored dress in the December issue of GLAMOUR Magazine. IT IS ONLY FORTY DOLLARS. $40!!!!! I can’t wait for the release.

According to a Racked.com reader in the Marie Claire images post, there is another dress in Teen Vogue. Anyone have a photo?

A Savvy commenter on The Cut pointed out the Glamour photo.

I’m finally feeling well enough to go out in the world and enjoy life again. Being sick, and my broken macbook have put a bit of a dentin my social life and blogging activities. But I’m going to try to stop by the Armani Exchange store tonight to photograph this event. Hopefully, I’ll catch a glimpse of the amazing Kate in the flesh if I do make it there.

RSVP now to get a sneak peak at the A/X holiday collection, customize t–shirts, and meet Kate!

A Visit to Hello Kitty’s Three Apples Festival

November 4, 2009 · 4 Comments

Photobucket

I’m officially sick (low fever and body aches, boo!) so it’s time to catch up with all my posts. A few weeks back, I mentioned the Hello Kitty Three Apples Festival going on. Unfortunately I didn’t make it out to California for the festival and Hello Kitty’s 35th Birthday celebration. But my friend Isabel from LA got to go and took a lot of pictures that she is letting me share with my readers!

Isabel is one of the only people I know who loves Hello Kitty as much as I do. I’m so jealous that she got to go! But so glad she let me share her gorgeous photos. Visit her flickr to see even more!

Diana World Tour

Me at the exhibit. Photo via Lomography’s event gallery.

I haven’t been feeling that well lately, but last night I managed to make a quick stop at the lomography gallery store in Greenwich Village for the opening reception of the Diana World Tour.

Photobucket

There was quite a large turnout, with dozens of Diana-wielding photographers photographing each other and the many Dianas for sale and on display. The event featured the Diana Vignettes, a small exhibit of lomo photographs taken by celebrities (such as Elijah Wood and Amber Tamblyn) and nyc residents, and the Detrich Collection, a collection of vintage and classic cameras to gawk at.

Also present: special guests Princess Diana, and Diana Ross:

Guests were served drinks, mini burgers, and a slices of a Diana themed cake. The snacks were great, but my favorite part of the event: the wall of vintage cameras.

I want them all!

Beauty Channel Launch at KORRES

Last Thursday, before going to the Grace Coddington signing Jenn and I stopped by the soho Beauty Channel party hosted by Elizabeth from White Lightning.

We only had a short time to visit and play with all of the beauty products before heading over to Clic Gallery, but managed to enjoy sampling new makeup and down a few extremely mini cupcakes and a glass of punch while we were there.

There were free makeovers:

Lots of cool products to try:

Halloween Highlights

November 2, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Thanks to Halloween being on a Saturday, I had not one but two nights of costumed fun this weekend. Both nights I hit up parties nearby in Bushwick, since the L train insanity and bad weather kept me out of Manhattan. Friday was a friend of a friend’s party, complete with costume contest and a mini dance party with some of the weirdest and most random party music I’ve heard in a long time.

I went as Cleopatra:

Saturday night, I went to Surreal Estate’s Halloween party a few blocks from my apt. There were 3 floors full of party-goers, including a large outdoor roof deck. By the end of the night, things ended up getting a little too crazy for my taste. But not before having a great time with almost all of my best friends in nyc, and meeting other guests with amazing costumes:
