ERIN WASSON X RVCA & Yours Truly


All images from Eddie @ www.StyleSightings.com

ERIN WASSON X RVCA

The final event that I attended for Fashion Week was the Erin Wasson x RVCA Presentation at Milk Studios. I think Erin has amazing style and I was generally impressed with the edgy, rocker, heroin-chic styling of the presentation itself. The models were sexy, sassy and svelte and the crowd was extra-hip. This is normal for the muse of Alexander Wang, and I would most definitely crown Wang and Wasson as the Prince and Princess of the New York young and edgy fashion world. I was lucky enough to be photographed (above) by Eddie for my own Wasson-inspired outfit, however my body necklace was vintage and not one of Wasson's own creations (though I would love to own one)!

Would it be okay to admit that I have a massive girl crush on Erin Wasson? I mean who doesn't? At the after party, the model/muse/designer owned at riding the mechanical bull and officially solidified herself as hands down the coolest chick to have ever been born. So she's gorgeous and totally badass? Oh and I also spotted her dancing to the old-skool reggae and hip-hop that was exclusively spun at the afterparty and, let me tell you, girl can dance. We're practically kin.

Also, it made me giggle a little bit that my photo is next to Leighton Meester (Blair) from Gossip Girl because the last time I was this close to her, I was a bartender in a sushi restaurant serving Chuck Bass a jack on the rocks while he broke up with her after taking her v-card. Season 1, don't blink!

Carolina Herrera FW 09 Show









Donna and some of her pieces.


I just returned from the Carolina Herrera F/W 09 show in Bryant Park. Sharon Stone, Anna Wintour, Nina Garcia, and Rachel Zoe were some of the onlooking Fashion A-listers. This was also my roommate Donna Kang's debut as a designer for Carolina Herrera!! Congratulations Donna!

I really loved the jewel-tone pallate of rich mossy greens, bronzes, gunmetal greys, deep turquoise and purples. I couldn't help but remember the plethora of patterns laying down in the middle of our living room floor at 1 am with Donna cutting and pasting the embroidery pattern as she organized the placements of each piece. Donna's embroidery designs were exquisite!

Obsession




Balenciaga. Pre-Fall 2009.

I am utterly obsessed with these Balenciaga dropped-crotch skinny-pants. They're really androgynous-tastic.

New Beginnings

It has been a year since I wrote in here... and I've decided to start up again. New beginnings mark important transformations in our lives and needless to say, things are always changing. Les choses se passent.

This year is going to be one to remember, and that's why I've decided to start blogging again.

Cheers mes amis!
