Friends and Fashion Week... Fin

Wednesday was my day off from shows so you know what that means...
S H O P P I N G ! !

I got a bunch of amazing stuff but most importantly- THE SHOES!

These Miu Miu's are sweet and sexy! Yes please.

And these? These Alexander Wang booties are ridiculous. They are so high and uncomfortable but SO good...

I need to stress the height here

I mean, seriously. Yikes.

I'm in love. Shoe love is a polygamist love... But it's so good.


On to Thursday which was was the day of my last show. The L.A.M.B. show!
It was so fun and they were really good to me with the seating assignment. Betsey's people shoved me in the 8th row against the wall like a red headed step child, and you know what happened at bebe.
We were second row behind Debbie Harry and Tom and Tony from No Doubt. So cool.

And speaking of cool- look at this! No wait, listen first cause it sounds cooler than it looks.
My picture is on Vogue.com in the "front row" section of their runway coverage! I'm there along with some seriously cool celebs which in turn, made me feel pretty cool myself. Don't tell anyone that I'm really not, I wanna see how long I can fool them ;)

Now am I the only one, or does it look like I sniffed a fart?
I wish the girl that took this told me who she was. I would have backed up, pulled out an oil blotter, and smiled.
Here's my do-over. Happy me.

Anyway, the show itself was so fun and SO Gwen. Prints prints everywhere. I love how she designs things that she wants to wear herself. It comes across as totally her and 100% genuine.
A mix of dance music and classic reggae played loudly while Gavin and the boys from No Doubt bobbed their heads to the beat. It was such a cool scene, just like the lady of the hour herself.

Here are some of my favorite looks from the show

And Gwen herself. Such a cutie!

Gwen is truly amazing and sweet and talented and I am really honored to get to work with her. I'm so proud of her success in design and music and her family. It's really great to be a part of it, even if it's a teeny tiny part. I'm really lucky and I'll never forget this amazing time in my life.


After the show? The after party!

Now for my stalkerazzi photos of the night...

Before the show:

What's Up, Bra...?

Ok so I've been completely obsessed with fluorescent lace bras ever since I saw Gwen Stefani rocking the shit out of them. She's been wearing them almost every time I see her and I love how bright they are.

Now that I think about it, Gwen is sort of famous for showing her bras right? Remember girls studding their bra straps in the 90's to be like Gwen?? Totally.

Well, after looking for the past year (I do not exaggerate) without finding anything nearly bright enough I finally got the nerve to just ask her what brand of bra her brights were. I sent her an email and to my excitement, she answered right away! Her answer...? She wears Deborah Marquit's fluorescent lace bras. Yay!

I'm still on a mission to find a cheaper version but I have yet to find one. These look so great under all the sheer tops I'm seeing for Spring. I'll definitely keep you posted if I find anything half as fabulous as these!

L.A.M.B. Afterparty

After an awesome L.A.M.B. show it was time to party! A quick trip back to the apartment and an outfit change later, it was back to Milk Studios for a cocktail party to honor Gwen and her successful collection.

We were there for about half an hour when she showed up and was instantly mobbed by photogs and well-wishers. Fellow celebs included Kelly Osbourne (who looked AMAZING and so teeny tiny) and Kelly Bensimon.

Gwen looked drop dead as usual and was so sweet despite all the commotion around her. I tried to stay back and let everyone get their time with her. You guys would die laughing if someone took a picture of me at one point. I was standing next to Gwen talking to her business partner about the line when Kelly Osbourne showed up. Well, these two photographers wanted to get good pics (one is the picture below) so they squeezed between Gwen and I squishing me up against the couch I was leaning on. It was really funny and if I took myself too seriously I would have been pissed.

ANYWAY- Gwen then called me over to where she was, which just tells you how unbelievably sweet she is. A party full of people and she still took time to talk and hang out for a few minutes.

I finally got a semi decent photo with her after working with her for over 2 years. haha

YAY!

♥

I wore a Robbi and Nikki top with silk shorts and sweater tights and of course, my L.A.M.B heels.

NWFW So Far...

I'm having so much fun in New York and I'm so glad I came! I don't want to miss another Fashion Week ever again!

My first day here I went to the L.A.M.B. show and it was AMAZING! I am so excited to have been a part of it. The line looked so good and Gwen and her team were all very excited about how it turned out.

A few of my favorite looks...

And I absolutely LOVE these boots we did. So hot!

My camera died right before the show started so I don't have the detailed shoe photos I wanted to get. I took some with my phone and will upload them when I'm home again.

NY Post-

"Equal parts tomboy, Brit punk, military and glam, Stefani's fall collection was everything we've come to expect from her. There was enough leather to drive PETA positively mad, popping up everywhere from chic black bubble short shorts (which she wore paired with a fitted leather jacket with shoulder pads to take her bow) to high waisted skinny black stretch pants and leggings. Other highlights included "punker pants" -- slouchy and boyish bottoms that beg to be paired with a cropped jacket, white tank and chains -- that came in soft camouflage print silk and over dyed denim, a long leopard calfskin jacket with asymmetrical button closure and loads of military inspired jackets and hoodies."

I wore a Theory sweater dress and super high L.A.M.B. heels.

Here with my friend and the mastermind behind all the Harajuku Lovers prints (plus TONS more) Jolie Clemens.

...My next post will be about the after party so stay tuned!!

Strap Me Up!

I'm not even going to pretend like every single time I have a meeting with Gwen I just act like it's a normal whatever thing. Like I just roll out of bed and throw on whatever... but that's how it's gotta look, right? hahahaha

I mean, I can't look like I try too hard, right?

(skirt and tank- BP, necklace- Intermix, shoes- Louboutin, bag- Balenciaga)

So this morning I woke up early and after 8 or 9 things, I ended up with the 2nd thing I had on. This. Boring you say? Pish posh.

It's casual yet stylish, no? It says "hey, I just threw this little ditty together and it's no big deal."

6 inch Louboutins for a 9am meeting? Noooooo sweat.

Anyway, I just want you all to know that I am human and yes I realize how cool it is that I get to meet with Gwen and yes, I get excited every time and a little nervous too and maybe that's lame but I'm a nerd and you just have to deal with it. :)

Oh- and the meeting went really well too, in case you were wondering. YAY!

TONIGHT!!!

Watch Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC tonight!! No Doubt is performing and Gwen is going to be wearing a pair of those Harajuku Lovers creeper boots I designed!! :)

Yippee!

Creeps!

So I have to express my pissed off-ness on this issue. I hate to be a brat but I'm really annoyed.

Last year, for my Harajuku Fall 09 collection I made a creeper and creeper boot, which I thought were awesome and I really truly loved. 

Well, low and behold amazing fashion blogggers like Rumi at fashiontoast and Susie at Style Bubble (here and here) are wearing similar styles. WHY does this piss me off? Well, because my freaking salesmen dropped the shoes because they didn't "get" them. They had no idea where I was coming from so they just didn't bother. 

SO ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!!!!

The upside is that Gwen ordered a pair of the boots in Black and White patent (shown on the flat creeper) and in plaid for her upcoming tour with No Doubt. So those of you who are going to the show- look out for my shoes! YAY!

Maybe those stupid salesmen (whom I actually love, but NOT when it comes to this issue) will feel stupid when they see them in the market and wonder where ours went.

Hmph.

Taxi Cab Confession

Still loving the puppy. Even though she totally peed on the bed... twice.

Do I look like a yellow cab? ;)

I love these L.A.M.B shoes- I think they are so Gwen! I should totally wear these to the No Doubt concert. 

On second thought- They'd totally get stepped on.

(tank- C&C, skirt- American Apparel, shoes- L.A.M.B)

Lots of things going on this week! We're seeing the first prototypes for Charles Jourdan at Titan which is so exciting. My friend Juls and I are totally going to see Britney in LA, plus I have my Harajuku approval meeting with Gwen at the end of the week! 

Phew!
