Today was Sunday, so by normal standards, that means people are “off-duty” and can dress in their favorite weekend gear. Not so for fashion week, but because my feet needed a little reprieve, I decided to build a look from the bottom, up, starting with my most comfortable pair of sandals! I also added an extra element to my look via the Beyond the Zone Color Buzz temporary color for hair in Pop Pink; it’s a chalk-based hair color from Sally Beauty that let’s you have some fashion-worthy punky tresses for a day! I added some color just to the tips for a light-catching glow.
I bedecked my digits in my favorite crysal bedecked Avon ring, and one of my favorite MiMi by Sorrelli pyramid stud rings that added a glistening effect to my hands every time I reached for my camera (which was frequently!).
The night was capped off by an intimate dinner with the team from NARS Cosmetics and some fellow bloggers at the lovely La Palma restuarant in the West Village. I was early (for once) and snapped this pic before any one else arrived; doesn’t it look just so magical and romantic?

The Theme: An impeccable infusion of the magical, feminine romance of Paris and the modern, on-the-go boldness of New York.
The Color Palette: Frosted blues, mint greens, powder pinks and pure white
Best / Collection’s Signature Standout Look: French twist faux-hawks and leather caps, classic pumps and feminine silhouettes with a uniquely modern flare were abundant in Catherine Malandrino’s Spring / Summer 2013 presentation. Body-hugging pieces incorporated French cotton guipure, power mesh, stretch cotton jacquard, suede and leather in utterly beautiful whites and pastels. Geometric cut-outs and strapless bra tops paired with high waisted trousers and skirts successfully created a look that was sexy, sporty, and refined.
