As promised a couple of months back, on the video music awards red carpet MTV revealed the new hosts of House Of Style, rising stars Karlie Kloss and Joan Smalls. The two busy models will share hosting duties when the show returns October 9th. Collaborating is nothing new for these two beauties, in recent months they graced the dual cover of W magazine’s July issue and have walked in Fashion shows as well. I look forward to this show coming back!
Hot off the tails of Fashion’s Night out…..New york Fashion Week is in full swing. New york will host eight glorious days of fashion, before the fashion crowds head to London, Milan and Paris.
Jason Wu presented his Spring/Summer 2013 collection Friday. Celebrating the woman’s silhouette, this collection had modern sex appeal, and a perfectly balanced contrast of hard & soft elements represented mostly with leather and lace although tulle and other sheer materials were present as well. Most of the collection was black and white with some pops of navy and red. I usually like a lot more color for S/S but this collection worked for me and I wouldn’t change a thing. Hair and makeup was perfect, I was fond of the ruby-red lips and sleek side swept hair, which was beautifully done without being distracting. My absolute favorite moment was when legendary model Carolyn Murphy opened the show in her beautiful leather sheath dress. Amazing!
As for the collection, Wu said he was inspired by two photographers with differing styles — Helmut Newton’s erotically charged imagery and Lillian Bassman’s soft dream-like imagery. “It’s two completely different styles. One’s quite beautiful, couture and the other is quite provocative and sexy and I love the idea of those two coming together a softness and a hardness coming together and I wanted to make a collection that sort of balanced, just teetered on that line of sexy but still sophisticated,” he said.

My favorite look!
The global fashion party known as fashion’s night out celebrated its fourth year last night. From Los Angeles to New york to Milan fashionistas, retailers and designers came together for the festivities. Besides shopping and socializing, crowds were treated to fashion shows, performances and parades. I celebrated in Los Angeles at the Beverly Center and the “lil Melrose” area of West Hollywood and had an absolute blast! Here are some pictures from the night.
Let’s just start by saying my feet were killing me by the end of the night but it was so worth it. I also keep getting questions about the dress. I was obsessed with this dress when I saw SJP wearing it on the Elle Jan 2011 cover
apparently I wasn’t the only one interested as the dress sold out FAST! I told my favorite Saks girl to keep an eye out for me and sure enough a dress in my size was found about 6 months later!!!!!!!!! So that’s the story of the dress….
Outfit details:
I had to embrace this white paper wristband, it was my ticket into the nights events, even though it completely clashed with my ensemble.
Draped silk dress, Halston Heritage. Skull box clutch, Alexander McQueen. Patent leather platform pumps, Christian Louboutin. Earrings, Le fashion truck. Bamboo bangles, Gucci. Black faceted jewel cutout cuff, Gojane.

Sometimes I come across a photo of great makeup inspiration online or in a magazine and I’m instantly on a mission to try it on myself. Here are some of those photos. Go on ……try one!
I love pastels and adore wearing light and fun colors all Spring and Summer long. This past Spring/Summer was no different I wore pastels like crazy but I wore the hell out of MINT!!!!!!! I LOVE ALL THINGS MINT! I really had a love affair with the robin’s egg hue! Now that Summer is coming to an end…..I am sad to say goodbye to my beloved mint pieces as I move on and embrace my “darker” side for Fall/Winter. I’m not saying I’ll be totally mintless…..there are days where I will wear it I’m sure……….but I won’t be wearing mint whenever possible like I have for the last 6 months.
Mint…..I will always love you and perhaps next Spring we will pick up where we left off.
