My NYFW experience





















It was a week filled with tears and laughter and sweat. I'm serious I did all three of those things throughout the week if not all at one time!
It started friday I shlepped up to Manhattan to help Jess with the organizing and achieving the emmence task of wordrobing 20+ models in the fab BODYROCKSPORT bras and an incredible selection of everything from jumpsuits to business suits to denim and GAGA inspired leather numbers from euro clothing giant Supertrash. So with rumbling stomachs ( who has time to eat?) and caffine induced focus Jess and myself got everything together for the show that was @ chelsea piers.
Friday was FNO (fashion's night out) So I had a friend meet me in the city after she styled a show that was going on ( http://www.karaandersonhairstyling.com/) and we went and explored. We started in TriBecA and ended up somewhere in rockerfeller center...and in our quest I realized just how MANY Sephoras there are in this city!! Each of wish was have a fabulous party complete with little bottles of Moet and colorful macaroons held by handsome waiters in ebony attire. Every store from Payless to Prada was having a party and it seemed like the city that never sleeps took a no-doze because the mood was positively electric and Im so glad I didnt miss a beat.
Saturday I was supposed to go to the Vivianne Tam show. Unfortunantly I missed it due to some unforseen occurances, and I am still scarred by this because I really wanted to go. But I ended up meeting up with some friends and we ran through the QVC pop up store and had a ball. ( not to mention picked up some free goodies!!)
Monday was the big day for me however, It was the day for the BodyRockSport showcase @ chelsea piers. Jess Myself and the owner Kelly Dooley along with her team worked so hard and it was finally the day!!! Things went smoothly and we all were dressed in out BodyRock and looked fierce. We even ended up on MSNBC thanks to the lovely miss Claire Duffy!

THEEEYYRREE BBAACCKK!!!!
yup. clogs and slides and chunky heeled shoes ala 1993. Only with a 2010 twist. I was NEVER a fan of the clunky-ness and I thought they should have been left in amsterdam where they came from. Lately, however, the throwback trend is growing on me. One, because they're so gosh darn comfy! But they are actually quite chic. My favs are the Fendi Zucca Platform slide (shown) I walked into Bloomies in SoHo today with the specific purpose to find a nude heel that wasnt patent leather or suede..(F.Y.I the ONLY place that has matte leather nude pumps is ALDO...i've been searching for weeks) Anyway I'm completely enamored and smitten with these Fendi slides. I walked into the shoe department and had a mini coronary. Especially with that gold heel. (gold is my new thing, idk why it hasnt always been, it looks great on my skin)I digress.... Steve Madden had a pair that I like that are reasonably priced, and I think this is one trend I might have to get on the bandwagon.

Outfit post to follow....lol
