Mallory Musante Handpainted Shoe Collection
Connecticut based custom shoe designer, Mallory Musante, held an intimate preview of her Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 bridal work at Ruia, a cute little boutique in SoHo. Each of her designs are handpainted! Perfect combination of art and footwear. I am a huge supporter of independent designers. They bring a fresh perspective to the industry.
I first met her during fashion week at the Keo debut...

Brunch at Pranna
I can’t say much for what is left of Spring in New York City, but Summer is literally right around the corner. Here’s to hoping for more sunshine! This means rooftop parties and brunch. If I had my way, I would start a brunch collective and get together my bests to wine and dine in style, every weekend.
Soooo… this all leads up to Pranna last Saturday. I’ve always went...

Lands' End Fall 2011 Outerwear Collection
I feel like I’ve complained about the bad weather for the past few posts. It’s just been so chilly and soggy this Spring that its hard not to think about layering and bundling up again. When I previewed the Fall outerwear collection from Lands’ End, I was too excited about finally going out — that I totally under-dressed for the weather. Oops… by the...

Splish and Splash
Rainy days go away! Just checked the weather and its rain, rain, rain all week long. Lovely. Fortunately, on this particular rainy day, I went to The Makeup Show! My first time, yes. Needless to even say, I was super amped and vlogged the entire day (video up soon).
Head to Toe: Chooka rainboots, Forever 21 leggings, Fashion’s Night Out tank, Victoria’s Secret boyfriend sweater,...

Cantamessa US Debut Party at Manhattan Motorcars
Italian brand Cantamessa entered the US luxury market with a glorious party hosted by Irina Shayk. I was lucky to be invited to attend among stars like Susan Sarandon! The jewels were so delicate and exquisite. I love that it was displayed against a backdrop of high-horsepowered Bentley vehicles. It added such an edge to the collection and party.
The jewelry collection has a lot of fun and...

Deep Cleansing: L'Oreal Go 360 Clean Anti-Breakout...
Hope you enjoyed the little intro video and my new haircut in action…
As you’ve heard me complain, stress has been a major factor in breaking me out lately. Just when I think I got rid of one pesky breakout, another one joins the party. To understand how stress plays a part in acne, we need to get a little scientific.
When we are under stress, a hormone called cortisol...

Katherine Kwei x Charmco A/W 2011
The Ancient Art of the Chinese Knot…
What’s so exciting and refreshing about Katherine Kwei’s collection is her use of Chinese Knots in a variety of ways. It’s pretty much a lost art form dating back to the era of dynasties, except during festive times, like Chinese New Year. So in essence, her bags are true works of art…
Above: I’m wearing a...

I took the plunge!
Just when I could not deal with my long heavy hair anymore, I decided to finally call Alibi NYC Salon based on a recommendation from NH Media’s founder Natasha Huang. She spoke highly of the hair stylist Kelly Madigan. Anyone who sticks with the same stylist from the west coast to the east must mean they are phenomenal, right?
That theory my friends… has been proven true!
