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 :)

All wrapped in ONE! ALL very Versace! I cannot WAIT!!! :)

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
