Prep School Bound

Well, not quite (maybe 12 years ago), but this look channeled the prepster inside, with a little dose of Julia DiNardo spunk added to it! My two newest items in this look is what I really think gave it some extra oomph, making it more ‘me’ than just preppy! For starters, I’m carrying the Gina Buckle Satchel in Blue from Handbag Heaven (on sale for $67.96). As usual, I was testing out a new, fabulous style compliments of the site, and this one totally struck my fancy for its cool faux exotic skin print, unusual shade of blue (that works with all colors of garments, including black), and its incredible size,which lets me place multiple newspapers, water bottles, toiletries, you name it in there! It’s also certified as Vegan, has a detachable long strap, and a chic navy and white striped lining. It is definitely reminiscent of another luxury bag, that let’s say costs at least a few thousand dollars more.

The other item is my Katie Ankle Boots, compliments of Kork-Ease (retails for $210). Kork-Ease is known synonymous with comfort, and if you’ve had boot issues, you know that not all boots are created equal — just because it doesn’t have a five-inch heel does not automatically make the shoe comfortable. From the get-go, there was no “breaking in” with these boots, and I love that the tiny stud detailing gives them a bit of an edge. Available in three colors (black, brown, red), made of Vachetta leather, and vegetable dyed,  I think the brown makes a perfect fall color choice, and can even look great with a long or short skirt and thick, opaque tights.

Via Spiga 25th Anniversary Party

Hosted on the magnificent roof deck of the Empire Hotel, Via Spiga’s 25th Anniversary fete displayed serpentine bejeweled heels (compliments of Kenneth Jay Lane) and plenty of conversation regarding the esteemed footwear brand.

Compass Trade Show

Checked out some the newest, coolest, footwear designs from the likes of Walkover Shoes, Kork-Ease, Sorel, 80%20 and more — so many fabulous styles coming out for spring, I don’t know if I can wait!!

Tory Burch Denim Launch & Styling Contest

I had the great pleasure to check out the latest fall merch from Tory Burch in her uber-cool Meat Packing District store on Little West 12th Street – in addition, we were invited to take anything we wanted from the collection and style it with the new jeans – my styled look is above, at left!

Casio G-Shock ‘Shock the World’ Event with Ke$ha

Ke$ha, best known for her chart-topping singles “Tik Tok” and “Your Love is My Drug,” officially announced her roles as Brand Ambassador and designer at Casio’s annual “Shock the World” press event in New York City. The singer also served as the evening’s entertainment, performing a set of songs to us press members.  Also launched was the new men’s Edifice watch, a more upscale approach to the G-Shock style.

Jones New York Jewelry Preview

At this event, FPD took in jewelry styles from Jones Apparel Group’s brands, including Jones New York, Nine West, and my two personal favorites  – Rachel Rachel Roy (pictured above, left), and Givenchy (pictured above, right).


Lord & Taylor: The Ultimate Face Lift Event

The storied department store on Fifthe Avenue is getting a complete makeover in the beauty department, and I was invited to check it out (they gave us pink hard hats as part of the theme -cute!). We met with representatives from Clinique, Lancome, and Estée Lauder to learn about their latest product offerings, and received services such as brow defining, blow outs, and makeup applications.

Nautica Cruise

One of my favorite events of the summer, Nautica hosted a cruise on the Manhattan Yacht for a handful of bloggers to sail down the Hudson while taking in some Nautica eye candy (aka male models in swimsuits!), great food, drinks, friends, and a fabulous souvenir — Nautica sunglasses.

Call it Spring Launch Party

Call it Spring opened just a week ago in NYC’s Manhattan Mall, so I was invited down to shop and check out the new store and footwear offerings! From boots to flats, ALL styles are affordably priced (i.e. nothing hits $100) and the brand also offers some handbags and small accessories. Stay tuned for a post with my footwear picks from the event!
