No, I am not sleep walking, even considering the jet-lag, these are my outside pajama pants!!  This is a perfect outfit for an 8am touchdown in London town. I have a very difficult time falling asleep on over night flights. Usually the first day of any farish, timezone changing trip I am dragging my feet! I just keep telling myself I’ll sleep when I’m dead or before my next trip I will seriously consider speaking to my doctor about a prescription for sleeping meds! It’s about 10pm NYC time when it is actually 5pm in this timezone, I’m exhausted! This outfit is living proof you can look chic and be comfortable! This was such a lovely day strolling around Chelsea with my boyfriend! Xxxx

Finally, A store in Miami that makes me gush!! The Webster is a 20,000 sq. ft luxury boutique located in the heart of South Beach. This store has a beautiful vision of what’s new and forward thinking. I was extremely intrigued and wanted to know a little more. After doing a little more research I found that one of the founding partners of The Webster, Milan Vukmirovic, is also a founder of the famous Colette in Paris. With a resume that runs way longer and more and more impressive than that, it all makes sense now. The french understand a thing or two about la seduction! Just booked my ticket to Miami this weekend, think I am going with an empty suitcase. First stop… The Webster!!

Giuseppe Zanotti

My first time meeting Guiseppe Zanotti back in 2009. 

Granted, I know this past month we celebrated the 20th anniversary of Christian Louboutin, but I am a loyal girl! There will only ever be one Giuseppe Zanotti! I remember being 18 years old and saving all my disposable income in order to save enough money to buy my very first pair of Giuseppes Zanotti sandals! I had my eyes on these shoes for what felt like eternity, but in reality was months! It felt so good when I finally had enough money saved up to buy my first pair of designer heels!!

It wasn’t for years later that I would actually have the pleasure of meeting Mr Zanotti, the man behind the shoes, for the first time. We met at Bergdorf Goodman where he was doing a personal appearance (PA). I was a buying office coordinator for Bergdorf Goodman at the time working the event. Earlier that morning I was out of the office filming an episode of The City, which is why I decided to stay late and help out with the event. I remember being starstruck, for the first time! I knew I had to have a signed pair of Giuseppe Zannotis; so badly, that I bought a pair of shoes that were a little tight to say the least, just for the signature. Money may not have been as tight those days as when I was in college, but the shoes definitely were. We hit it off right away- I ended up meeting up with he and his team for drinks at Bagatelle after the long day. Lets just say, now- everyone pair of my Giuseppe’s are signed! He is my favorite shoe designer not only because he makes works of art for my feet but also because he is the nicest designer with such a huge heart, people like him deserve to succeed!

WhitneyEve Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

WhitneyEve’s little curtsy

Jess Hart and myself

So proud of my girl!! Mercedes Benz NYFW is a holiday for most New Yorkers; it occurs two times a year (if you get the invites) your employers let you go to work late, leave sporadically during the day, and best of all you get play dress up just like it’s a holiday. What isnt there to love? Fashion is taken very serious during this New York Holiday… Cameras are everywhere and you never know who will be taking your picture! Whitney Port debuted her first solo runway show at NYFW for her line WhitneyEve. It was amazing to catch up with all my friends from MTV’s The City; Whitney and her family, Joe Zee, Jess Hart, and Kelly Cutron. This was one of my favorite shows this season, unbiased of course. I was so proud of Whitney’s evolution as a designer. Her collection was cohesive beautiful and fun! Congrats!!! XXXxxx

I’m such a last minute packer, always… I packed three hours before my flight this past weekend. Vegas for Presidents Weekend, why not?!! The best way to end NYFW! I haven’t been back to Sin City since I went with my love, Whitney Port, over two years ago. It definitely looks different than I left it. Seriously, how many new hotels are there? Vegas reunion with Whitney and my old roommate Eli, woohoo! Had a little photo shoot with Tess while I was packing. We were taking polaroids of possible outfits, it was our little Clueless moment! This look is so fun, I’m ready to rock the strip, not the strip club! This outfit is for sure in your face but my boobs are not! I hate the way girls typically dress in Vegas! Switch it up, make tacky over the top tight - cool! XXXX

I’m Dreaming of Spring! Unfortunately, I cannot control the weather outside, but luckily I can pump up the heat inside my apartment and pretend it’s bright and sunny! I pulled this vest out of storage a little while ago and couldn’t wait to show it off! This vest is off the chain, literally. Risto gifted it to me last NYFW and I have a feeling it is going to see a lot more bright and sunny days this year! XXxxx
