A Few Of My (current) Favorite Things




I seem to go through periods where I will buy "multiples" of a similar product. If I love something, I seem to want it in an abundance. Right now, I am into collecting pretty cake plates. They are perfect for visual merchandising and displaying my headbands at trunk shows. Kelly gave me a beautiful baby-pink cake platter from Miette a delightful pastry shop in San Francisco.

The other item is boots -- actually, that is a lie! I am not in a boot-phase, I am always addicted to shoes! It doesn't matter how many pairs I have, there is always going to be another pair that screams out to me that it needs a home in a my closet and a place on my toes! I found the cream pair of boots in New York City. They are so ballerina-princess meets sassy New Yorker, I just had to have them....

And lately my lingerie collection seems to be growing. I love the intricate details that come with lingerie.Working with the Aerie designers at American Eagle, I saw first hand the design process behind intimate apparel. It was quite fascinating, and it made want to grow my collection....but I'll leave those pictures off the web :-)

Fashion Honors

I woke up so excited this morning. I have an appointment with the accessories buyer for Henri Bendels, as a follow up to last week's Open See. 

As I was at the gym on the elliptical machine, I started reflecting my time in the fashion industry and the various fashion related events that have put me over the top and made me really elated. Fashion isn't everything in life, but these things have put a really big smile on my face...

Here is my list

  • Getting accepted to Parsons
  • Seeing Oscar de la Renta on a weekly basis as an intern
  • Assisting with Oscar de la Renta's Bridal Week Fashion Show
  • Going to a photo shoot the second day of my internship at Women's Wear Daily
  • Working backstage at Olympus Fashion Week and getting to dress the models
  • Going to the Olympus Fashion Week -- every time I am in the tents I am on cloud nine
  • Getting emails from Tamryn (Aerie Pre Production Manager) saying how much she appreciated me and all the work I was doing for her
  • Seeing my headbands on display at Debut New York
  • Getting a call back to Henri Bendels
