Viktor Luna Show in Chelsea.  My good friend Jeffrey invited me to a show during Fashion Week to preview the new SP2013 Line from Viktor Luna. While I was expecting a runway show, I was pleasantly surprised to find it to be a presentation where we were able to get up close and personal to the garments and the models were very willing to show of the clothes with stunning poses. The construction of his collection was amazing with pleating and beautifully structured jackets along with a gorgeous print of The Met’s rooftop exhibit titled “Cloud City.” The color palette included smoky gray, rich navy,  and fresh coral rounding out the neutrals of black and white.  There are more than a few pieces I wanted to add to my own closet. Which one is your favorite?

Oh Fashion Week, WHY must you be so fun and only come twice a year? Not sure why I am complaining, it’s comes twice as many times as Christmas. Although if it could be Fashion Week AND Christmas all the time, my head might explode. SO here we go. Day one, for me started with Fashion’s Night Out. Somehow I lost my mind last year and accidentally booked a trip out of town, so I missed it.  So I had to make up for it this year. I planned my excursion so as to get the most bang for my proverbial buck. I knew I wanted to start at Henri Bendel (favorite store in the the city) and maybe pick up some cute little bauble as well as get my hands on a signed print from my favorite fashion illustrator, Izak Zenou . I wanted to purchase an FNO tote from him 2 years ago but just didn’t and I am still kicking myself. I was determined to get something this year. I just adore the Bendel Girls he creates. I see myself in so many of them. From there the plan was to hightail it to Loehmann’s becaus...

I have been living in the Rabbit Hole for almost 2 years now. It has become my safe haven from the storm of this city. Don't get me wrong I love this city but it is nice to have a little sanctuary to retreat to when all the hustle and bustle starts to overwhelm. I love sitting at my window every morning to write and watch the parade of neighbors stroll by. I have come to "know" some of them, not personally but just by virtue of seeing them on a regular basis. But that will be another post. This is all about the Rabbit Hole. As I come up on the 2 year mark, I took a look back at where it all started. I remember walking into the apartment with my mom and my broker and falling immediately in love with this little space. I am so thankful we were able to pull off the painstaking process of actually getting the apartment. It has been such a great place to live. And there have been some changes. So here are the before and afters of the last two years.  It was so bare and crisp...

The Rabbit Hole continues to be a work in progress, although at this point there are only a couple little projects before it will be "done." For now. I am sure I will get itchy for change in a year or so. It's a trait I seem to have inherited from my mom. So here is the latest. I had painted a shape on  my bedroom wall that in my head was much better than the reality turned out to be. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either and the room just didn't quite feel right. So when the Rents were here in November, we brainstormed and decided that a thick horizontal stripe might be lovely. So I had paint chips pinned to my wall for the last three months. Don't want to rush into anything. :) Anyway, this last weekend I got super motivated and decided IT WAS TIME. So Saturday I painted over the wall with white and taped off the Stripes and by Sunday I had a whole new room....and it's PERFECT!  Here is the before. The In The Middle And finishe...

I took a jaunt out to the BK for an exhibit at the Museum on art of the American 20's called Youth & Beauty. While I was not "allowed" to take pics in that exhibit there were other photo worthy opps while I made my way there. Again with the tree thing. See what I mean.  If you look closely you can see the image, Me AND the Tree. Bummed this piano was used in an art piece, I really want one in my apartment. Let's Dance Art Deco Love

My birthday of course! Well it may not be Your best day ever but it sure is mine every year. :) Although I was solo this year I spent the day doing what I love to do in the city that I love living in. Who could ask for more? I went to my FAVorite store, Henri Bendel, to browse and shop and generally hang out. (I should probably apply for employment for crying out loud) Then I walked around the city and made my way to the Times Square Visitor Center. It's a gorgeous building (which I am a SUCKER for) with all kinds of fun things to do inside. Now let me preface this with, Times Square is not my favorite place in the city, BUT they have the New Year's Eve Ball on display and I really wanted to check it out. I even got to take pics with it. Besides it's huge and sparkly, what's not to love?
