fashion week

(view from my seat)
Going to a big time fashion show has been a dream of mine for a long time. I may be strict about what I buy, but don't get me wrong - I love fashion. When a buyer friend mentioned that she had an extra ticket for the Anna Sui show I probably squealed with delight.
The show was everything I wanted it to be and more - crowded, glamourous, loud and colorful. The people watching was beyond amazing...just across from me was Karen Elson, Russell Simmons and Coco Rocha. I saw Bill Cunningham as we exited the show.
And the clothes! I was actually too busy trying to shoot everything (those girls walk fast!) to really study the collection, but there were some really beautiful pieces. To see the full fall collection, click here.
Since you are probably going to ask, I wore a green silk dress (80's most likely) from Shareen's, an old coat from Banana Republic, and my vintage Gucci purse...
....and the swag included blush, perfume and socks:
CAG - thanks again for taking me!

irish hunger memorial

Every time I visit Lower Manhattan, I discover something new. This trip led to me the Irish Hunger Memorial, a multi-level structure commemorating the Great Potato Famine and drawing attention to current famine struggles.

It's my hundredth post! I feel like I should post about something momentous, but instead I'll just pat myself on the back for keeping up with posting. Yea for me!
