On Trend: Nude Shoes

One of the strongest trends for the new Spring 2010 season is color-related... or lack thereof! Neutral has made a BIG comeback this season when it comes to shoes. Nude pumps are actually not new on the red carpet, some of your favorite celebs already picked up this trend last season. And in case you didn't know, every version of Christian Louboutin's nude patent pump has sold out online amost immediately! From the Pigalle to the Décolleté!

Watermelon Cocktail

Summer Treat: Watermelon Cocktail

This recipe appeared in a recent People magazine article and is credited to Food Network chef Marcela Valladolid. Adapted from her cookbook, "Fresh Mexico". Note that "cooking time" involves no cooking; however, 2 hours (minimum) freezing time is needed prior to mixing the drinks to make the tequila-spiked watermelon ice cubes.

Carl Pascuzzi at Design on a Dime

This past Thursday (May 6th), Carl Pascuzzi (www.edgewallcoverings.com) donated his creative talent to raise money for Housing Work's Design on a Dime event. This year marked Housing Works Thrift Shop's 6th Annual Design on a Dime fundraising event which kicked off with an Opening Night Reception at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York City.

Lifestyle guru, Derek Warburton (DerkLovesShopping.com) was one of this year's designer and his aesthetic was inspired by Carl Pascuzzi's custom made wallpaper!

A Day in the Rain!

Good morning, New York. I see we have another couple of rainy days ahead of us so get out the umbrellas, rain gear and such! If you are anything like me you own a handful of such neccessities from last minute purchases from street vendors. I have a terrible habit of leaving my apartment with just enough time to catch my train which means no turning around and taking the elevator back up to the 14th floor...once I exit the lobby I must just pray that the weather holds up until I get wherever I am headed. I am getting MUCH better at checking the weather before leaving my apartment. In Orlando (Florida) I never had this problem - it was always sunny with a midday thunderstorm in which everyone went inside. Aaah...how I miss the simplicities!

Alexa Chung for Madewell

You might remember Alexa Chung from MTV's 'It's on with Alexa Chung' (or as her long stint as a model) but these days Alexa is working busy to promote her new line of clothing. The Alexa Chung for Madewell party felt like I was walking into a different world - a world where people were calm and happy and rode their bikes to work, stopping along the way to pick flowers and put them in their hair or bring home to decorate the tables. The clothing is very cozy and very chic. I definitely got that 'artsy' Anthropologie vibe. As for where the clothes will actually be sold - I was told mostly online for now*

Alexa Chung For Madewell Gift Bag

At the Alexa Chung for Madewell Presentation I got this really cute gift bag - I just love the old-school, gypsy- bohemian feel! I also think it's so cute how Alexa spelled her name out above the fortune teller-like hands.

Recap from working Mercedes-Benz Fashion week for Fashion News Live

Chat with Katy Winn from Wenn Images - we joke about outfits we have worn in our past that now make us cringe in retrospect (I tell her the story if my red velvet catsuit I found sexy in high school, don't judge - in order to be fashion forward, one must take fashion risks, we both agreed*) (*Note: Katy is wearing bright - very bright blue high top sneakers - which btw not too many people can pull off* She makes it work*) Walk around for about an hour marveling at how pretty the cast of 'The City' are in person (Which I do every time I see them!) 3PM: Show starts - seated front row next to Rocco (Thankyou Rocco)! Lots of interesting drapery, metallic knits, chunky shoes, knee high boots, leather gloves, leather hats...big, big hair*
