FNO Fashion Night OuT

Fashion Night was just great here in the BIG Apple. This is truly the one night when you go out and you feel that the retailer actually appreciates your business designers like Catherine Malendrino gave out complementary cocktails and also had manicures after on the Polo Ralph Lauren and Top Ten Model Management Yacht Fashion Cruise. Proceeds from the event went to the GoodWill. We ate bite size hors d'oeuvres and cosmopolitans.

Following were two more fashion show by emerging accessory and women's apparel. A quick stop at the after party and back on my ride home along the FDR bridge. Overall A great night people always look or attempt to look their best on fashion night out so... Great night

Spotted some great pieces on a few of my SNOB MEN :)

OPULENT OBSESSIONS

KNIT YOUR WAY INTO MY HEART

Crochet has been making a very large statement this season. All of our summer essentials are being dipped in this delicate knit lace, from tops, to shoes to belts and even jewelry. But this is not your traditional crochet that grandma use to make quilts and pillows out of, though the handmade quality and intricate patterns remain the same. The new Crochet has that feminine, sexy, demure look. I cannot get enough...

Here are some of my Opulent Obsessions

Rip & Run & Broadway

Though my style is not defined as a more casual look, I wear flats occasionaly usually during shopping trips, walks with my Pooch, or a quick run in the area. Otherwise you can catch me in my at the minimum 4 inch Heels, been that way since 10th grade. And my toes are still suckable! :)
I pretty much never wear sneakers except to the GYM, however a couple of my favorite designers have been making me somewhat change up my feminine aesthetic.

SNOBS the following are really created just for you... They all are uber chic and are standalone pieces. Most importantly comfortable, and utterly wearable.

My Men SNOBS I didn't forget about you .... your favorite celebrity sneaker junkies are wearing them too!
