Day 6 of New York Fashion Week was great, I’ve been looking forward to it because it was the Marc by Marc Jacobs show (check out the finale video here) and B came back from his two week vacation! Before the show, I went backstage and Marc Jacobs was just sitting here, so happy to see him- he’s always looking so hot! After the show I headed to the kick off of the Estee Lauder Companies‘ 2009 Breast Cancer Awareness Event, where they’ve introduced all their products that benefits Breast Cancer. Definitely support it since I am a woman and plus my aunt-in-law was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Afterward I headed to the MCM New York handbag collection launch event at Saks, then to the Baby Phat fashion show which was about 40 minutes late! After a long day, the best thing is get some yummy food to fill the tummy, went to Yakitori Taisho 2 with B. Stay tuned for all the posts coming soon… More pics after the jump…
I know I know, I’m way behind, I can’t even keep track of what day it is today! Back tracking to day 0 of New York Fashion Week, or shall I say pre-NYFW? Anyway, the day before NYFW there were a ton of events but decided upon only two, went to the HP event for cocktails and to preview the new Vivienne Tam x HP Mini netbook, then headed to Hotel Griffou for dinner with some bloggers and the fab Coach team (thanks Coach). Was kinda bummed I missed the Anna Sui for Target private shopping event at the pop-up shop but I had a great night, so can’t complain. For NYFW, I have been using the Vivienne Tam x HP Mini 1000 Edition and T-Mobile webConnect USB Laptop Stick (courtesy of T-Mobile) for blogging, checking emails and photo editing on the go. Lugging my MacBook would mean major back and shoulder pain, netbooks are the way to go. The webConnect USB Laptop Stick is a savior because WIFI sucks at Bryant Park Tents and it helps to have internet wherever and whenever. More on this later, I’m about to hit the sack- got an early morning tomorrow! Outfit: Tracy Feith for Target Leather Biker Jacket, Forever 21 Burnout Tee, Brian Lichtenberg Brianel Graffiti Leggings, Jessica Simpson “Andolo” Pumps (Sample), Coach Textured Metallic Alexa Bag, Chanel Sunglasses, H&M Necklace and A(r)mor “Chilo” Bracelet Cuff + Ring.

I have a weird thing about interesting soda bottles, I like to collect them. Last year Roberto Cavalli designed for Coca Cola Light, the Italian version of Diet Coke and this year they’ve tapped eight female designers — Donatella Versace, Alberta Ferretti, Anna Molinari from Blumarine, Veronica Etro, Silvia Venturini Fendi, Marni’s Consuelo Castiglioni, Angela Missoni and Rossella Jardini at Moschino according to WWD. The collaboration is to benefit the Milan for Abruzzo charity project, each designer created four special cover-ups for the bottle and will be unveiled at a special runway show on Sept. 24 in the courtyard of Milan’s Palazzo Reale. “An auction will be held that night to benefit the Milan for Abruzzo program aimed at finding scholarships to help young women in the Italian region devastated by an earthquake last spring. The bottles will also be on display open-air exhibitions in key spots around the city from Sept. 25 to Oct. 4 and a limited number will go on sale starting Sept. 25.” Nice, wish I can get a set of these for display!

Erin Fetherston has teamed up with LU to create a specially designed limited edition tin for the LU Crème Roulée. The project will launch on September 10th exclusively on Amazon.com. The tin of Crème Roulée Dark Chocolate Biscuits are sold in a pack of six for $39 – available for pre-order now at Amazon.com. Erin designed the tins with the thought that they can be used for so many things – holding colored pencils and art supplies, in the kitchen, and ultimately, a great hostess gift – definitely something that would be kept and re-used. The tins are so chic you can put them right on the dinner table for a party – LU’s tagline after all is “chic little cookie”! Cute, I want one! I wonder if these will be given out inside The Tent during New York Fashion Week… “I came to love LU when I lived in Paris as they are a European classic and everyone’s go-to cookie in France. LU has a long history integrating art and design into its campaigns dating back to the late-1800s. With LU now expanding into the U.S. I was thrilled to partner with them. I am an American designer and started my career in fashion in Paris before making my home in New York, so it really felt like the perfect fit. LU Biscuits have a strong French heritage and French style has always been a true inspiration for both my runway collections and my personal tastes. When creating the design for these tins, I was inspired by the wonderful sense of style and charm that LU represents. I felt that the handwritten script and fashion figurines would add my own personal, modern twist to the elegant spirit and sense of playfulness and delight of LU Biscuits.” – Erin Fetherston More pics after the jump…
Fatty Crab Took my bff Ada to Fatty Crab this past Friday for her birthday dinner, I’ve never been there before but she chose the spot and said I would love it- indeed I did! If you love crab this is the spot, the food is fun and exciting, don’t be afraid to dig in with your hands that’s what makes it more tasty lol. The atmosphere is low key and the waiters/waitresses are all super friendly and helpful. Prices are not cheap but the food is totally worth the price, we ordered a bunch of stuff to share since we wanted to eat everything. This spot doesn’t take reservations and gets packed on weekends, make sure you have plenty of time to eat there we spent about 2 hours digging into our crabs lols. So good, I’m actually craving for it now! I def recommend this spot, I’ll be back again…many times! More pics after the jump… |
