Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week seems like it’s been ages ago already but it was just last month. I’ve posted NYFW photos here and there but I just got around to editing more photos. I still have a lot more photos to post from shows but here’s some random ones from outfits to dinner with friends to everything else. Here’s a link to all my NYFW posts, more to come!
A few days ago I was invited to nOir Jewelry‘s showroom to check out their new collections. Designer Lee personally walked me through all her new designs and I was immediately attracted to the nOir Jewelry for L.A.M.B. collection which debuted in Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. Spring 2012 presentation during NYFW. The collection was Indian-inspired and is simply amazing, I can’t wait till I can show the entire collection, here’s a sneak peek of what to expect! Trust me, there are other amazing pieces. Thankfully, the collection will be available to buy come spring! Stay tuned for more…
Happy 40th birthday to Mulberry! During NYFW Mulberry celebrated on the rooftop of Skylight West with friends and family and a special performance by Kasabian. The 70s-style dance floor was lit up in the center stage with DJ Harley Viera Newton and Teen Vogue‘s Andrew Bevan on the 1s and 2s. There was also a balloon artist making animal shapes and balloon hats for guests but I asked for angel wings! I nearly knocked everyone in the face walking around in my pink balloon wings but everyone seemed to have loved it (I hope) haha. And of course the Giant Bayswater was there to greet guests as you enter/exit and the multiple gold Bayswater balloons at every corner of the party. Always fun.

On day 7 of NYFW, Glam.com invited me along with a bunch of their favorite bloggers to dinner at Fred’s at Barneys New York. It was great to sit down to have a proper meal since I’ve been running around all week and it was the day before the end of NYFW. I saw a lot of my blogger friends and I had great seatmates, and also met some new friends. I sat with Bianca from Bankable Enterprises and Nola from Glam. Great food and great company!
Last week, Karen Elson and Nine West celebrated the launch of their collaboration at Beauty & Essex with a fun party and performance by the multi-talented model, singer, dancer and designer. Beauty & Essex was the perfect nightclub scene for the party, fabulous and glamorous. The Karen Elson for Nine West Vintage America Collection was readily available for guests to try on as you entered Beauty & Essex, my favorite is the THEGHOST wedge, Karen was wearing the black pair that night. Fun night. Outfit: Jessica Simpson Tie Dye Boxy Top (courtesy of JS), Levi’s Denim Skirt (courtesy of Levi’s), Dolce Vita Pela Wedge Sandal, Balenciaga First Bag, H&M Ring
My NYFW posts will be posted randomly, I’ve thought about posting it all according to schedule but that didn’t work obviously. So I’ll be posting mostly the events that I attended first. During NYFW I stopped by the new 5,000 sq ft Mulberry store in Soho and immediately fell in love with the book wall that consisted of over 8,000 hardback books. The store’s site has over the years been home to a zipper factory, printers and book storage, and this rich local history influenced the site-specific installations we commissioned for the store. And there was yummy Afternoon Tea served to us too, super cute. Mulberry loves New York and to prove that they produced two exclusive bag designs. The New York Clipper is a customised version of a classic Mulberry style, featuring New York-inspired detailing, colours and hardware. It is a Glossy Buffalo leather bag that comes in red, white or blue, with a luggage tag showcasing the exclusive Mulberry “peace, love and apple” motif. The Clipper will retail for $950 (£595). And if you feel like splurging, the exclusive Alexa bag design – made in Oak Ostrich and covered in dozens of gold apple-shaped rivets is really cute. Only 10 are available, retailing for $6250 (£4000) each. Both the Clipper and Alexa will be available from our US stores as well as on the US mulberry.com. Cute store, go check it out at 134 Spring Street, NYC.

On the second night of NYFW, Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld and Andy Valmorbida, in collaboration with Giorgio Armani and Phillips de Pury & Company, presented Richard Hambleton: A Retrospective, a survey of selected historical works from the legendary painter. The exhibition highlights 50 of Hambleton’s most influential works spanning from 1982 to the present, as well as twenty iconic images of the artist’s work chronicled by photographer Hank O’Neal. The opening event was pretty amazing, it was packed with supermodels and fabulous people. I kept my eyes open to see if I was able to spot Mary-Kate Olsen but had no luck, but I was happy to see Carine Roitfeld! *I still have a ton of NYFW pics to post, please bear with me!
