Katherine Kwei for fall/winter 2013 features all that would possibly desire from a handbag line for this season — reach leathers, deep hues, attention to detail, fur, exotic skin elements, and interesting hardware bring Kwei to the forefront of handbag design, and we can’t wait to get our hands on these gorgeous bags in the upcoming months! Plus, there is a “Julia” style, pictured above, that includes a tech case — perfect for the on-the-go lady that we all just happen to be!
Peter Thomas Roth, the man behind the brand, and his team shared some of his favorite new items over a press breakfast this week, and at the top of the list was his CC Cream! Available in three tones, the Peter Thomas Roth CC Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Complexion Corrector brightens and corrects while providing powerful sun ray blocking skills and remaining free of parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. I also tested the amazing FIRMx Peeling Gel, which uses a clear formula of enzymes to lift away dead cellulose; you can actually see it coming up on your test area. Kinda gross, but also very effective! For aging skin care concerns the amino acid-rich Neuroliquid™ Volufill™ Youth Serum was recommended along with the FIRMx™ Firming Night Moisturizer.

Fashion Week Day 1…with seven shows and backstage coverage, plus Fashion’s Night Out, day one was CERTAINLY busy! I wore comfy heels, and stayed on time for all of my shows and appointments with my gorgeous, brand-new Baume and Mercier watch. Isn’t it a beauty? I’m really loving the double wrap around strap (shown here in light brown), BUT the straps can be changed, even to single strap options in order to switch it up as per your mood and fashion fancy. How cool is that?
As always, I wouldn’t be without my beloved Sorrelli jewelry, a fancy manicure (at least for day one…), press credential, and a massive bag! Here’s to a great week of fashion and beauty ahead!
