The beautiful Alexa Chung

The DJs at the event

On Wednesday I flew to New York to attend the launch party for the Vogue Eyewear/CFDA City Collection that was held at the Sunglass Hut Flagship. I was in great company as you can see from the pictures. Jane and Natalie were the other two bloggers that were selected for this collection (Jane's hair is to die for.. not to mention her porcelain skin) and imagine my joy when Alexa Chung walks into the room. She looks exactly the same and was super sweet to everyone. I was so sick this day so everything was quite a blur and seems like a dream. Nonetheless, I did have a great time

For those who were wondering, you can get the sunglasses at Sunglass Hut.

Street Lamps

(Theyskens Theory Top c/o Edit, Zara Skirt, Steve Madden Heels, Style by Marina Leather Jacket, Bracelets by CC Skye, Low Luv, Anarchy Street, Chanel Bag)

I picked up this Theyskens Theory top at Edit during my stay in New York for Fashion Week. It was the longest time I've ever spent in a clothing store as most of my shopping is done online but from rack to rack, room to room, there were so many great items that it was just hard to leave the store. You must check out the store if you're ever in New York!

I wore this outfit to my best friend's sister's wedding and I've been meaning to do a 'What to Wear to a Wedding' post as I get a lot of requests. The most important thing for me when dressing for a wedding is, (ok, this might sound selfish) comfort as I look forward to the reception. Thankfully this Zara skirt is one size too big so it's quite perfect for times when I'm determined to overeat.

CFDA/Vogue Eyewear Miami Video with Monica Botkier

A couple of months ago, I was flown to Miami to film a fun little video for CFDA/Vogue Eyewear 2011 Capsule Collection. Monica Botkier from Botkier designed her very first pair of sunglasses inspired by the vibrant city of Miami which will be sold exclusively at Sunglass Hut starting September 29th.

We went to all of these amazing kitschy yet hip places in Miami that inspired Monica to design these amazing sunglasses. Being a lover of all things gold, I couldn't help but fall in love with the sunglasses Monica designed. Hope you guys enjoy this fun video of us and fall in love with her sunglasses and Miami like I did!

By the way, Monica filmed the first part before ever meeting me so she accidentally mispronounced my name. My name is pronounced Ah-Mee, rhymes with Mommy.

Tory Burch Spring 2012

Emphasizing on special details, Tory Burch's first runway show was a huge success and a show not to be missed. With Arizona Muse opening the runway with dainty music playing in the background, I felt like I was watching a Parisian movie full of young, fun, classy ladies on vacation. My personal favorite was the raffia trim jacket with the matching bejeweled top with the absolutely adorable bow kitten heels. I loved every one of the shoes that the models wore and even though I have no patience for golf, if I had those golf shoes I might just have to start playing golf.

I was also lucky enough to attend the opening of her Madison Avenue store the day before the runway and was blown away with all the great details and decor. The store is filled with color and prints and feels like your in the most stylish woman's town house. It's quite hard to go from one room to another because you spend so much time taking in all the great decor in one room only to be blown away by the next room. The first carpet above was apparently inspired by Tory's mother's bathing suit! How awesome is that?

Definitely stop by her 797 Madison Store!

Concept Korea

For four seasons in a row, Concept Korea has selected a few South Korean designers to showcase their collections at Lincoln Center. It was one of the few presentations that Wesley Mason and I were both able to enjoy as there was also menswear. The menswear you see here is Resurrection by Juyoung, and I wanted to make a smaller version of each and everyone of her pieces so that I could wear it. The wetsuit-like blazer was too good to pass, not to mention the bright orange color that was striking. Another favorite of mine were the colorful and cheery prints by the designers Steve J & Yoni P. What I'd give to wear the matching blazer, top, and shorts with the green clutch.

I've never paid much attention to Korean designers, but after this presentation, I'm quite interested in seeing more and could totally picture all of these designers becoming mainstream.

Dip Dyed

(Style by Marina Leather Jacket, Doris Apparel Dress, Calvin Klein Heels)

If I can't get dip dyed hair I might as well get myself a pretty dip dyed dress from Doris Apparel! Now contemplating whether I want dip dyed curtains in my living room or not.

All Red

(Vintage Hat, Forever 21 Shirt, Zara Pants, Theyskens Theory Wedges, Chanel Bag, Anarchy Street Necklace)

Most of my outfits for New York were so last minute and it was quite hard to dress especially since the place we were staying at had no full length mirror. Apparently as you can see, I was very into matching colors such as red on red or blue on blue.

Perfect Backdrop

(Lush Dress, Vintage Renoir Copper Belt, Guiseppe Zanotti Lace Up Heels, Rebecca Minkoff Clutch)

Can't get over how beautiful this dress is. With its multilayers, pleats, and unfinished hem, it's perfect for slightly windy days like this day. I love how Fashion Week gives people a reason to dress up, otherwise when and where else would I wear a dress like this?
