Shop Your Manifesto

I often say this, but I truly am lucky to be able to surround myself with the most creative people in the world. One of those creative friends includes the very beautiful Megan Biram (not kidding. she's breathtaking), of Manifesto. I am proud to be a small part of the launch of her Feb "lover" sweatershirt. I have been living in it since it arrived and Alison Conklin (yet another one of my crazy-talented friends) documented how I wear it over a recent lunch date.

You can see more at Meg's site : ShopYourManfesto.com and follow them @ManifestoTs

Happy to be a part of this one Megan!

NYFW makeup inspiration

This week, we are adding some new contributors to the blog! Excited to have some new stylish team members. You'll find intro's in this week's posts!

 After I packed my clothes and shoes for the NYFW I found myself left with absolutely zero space in my suitcase for makeup. I will be wearing a pretty bold eye and glossy lip all week long. 

Good thing-  these two products can be tucked right into my pocket.

Welcome our beauty editor, Ashley.

Kenneth Cole's Return to the Runway: Fall 2013

 Last night was my first night here in NYC for fashion week, and it was a really memorable one. I was invited to present Kenneth Cole with an illustration before his big return to the runway. Because of my job I have had the pleasure of meeting many designers, but I would be lying if I told you they were all as amiable as Kenneth Cole. He mentioned that he is now expecting a hand delivered illustration before each show, an offer I'll be taking him up on. (He is absolutely d-a-s-h-i-n-g in person btw.)

The models rocked red lips compliments of Mac Cosmetics and slick 

parted, pinned and thoroughly sprayed hair all compliments of Jonathan Products.

Hope you were following on insta and twitter.  The models were, they snapped shots of us back in their finale walk! So cute and clever. I was so happy to be a part of this socially interactive show.
