White Love!!!

White is clean and pure and beautiful. Whenever I wear a white dress the response of attention,kind attention mixed with adoration for that of a virgin on the edge,is phenomenal than that of the usual. White hides the inner mynx burning red hot inside my heart.

Side little hat barrettes are back with a vengeance thanks to Eric Daman's other brain child Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen)!!!

Get this look at Etsy by designer Sweetsnlo's shop...

It only took last weeks one episode of Gossip Girl to show you the power of Stylist Eric Daman has over the fashion world right now.

And just a day before Gossip Girl aired this picture of Jenny Humphrey sporting around her little side clip hat,The Daily Candy was already on top of that by releasing this picture prior to the episode when Jenny storms society life with her guerrila fashion show...

This item above is hand made by I Love Factory Hand-Sewn Headgear...Check them out online here http://ilovefactorybk.com/ Their head couture is sewn by hand and will be available at specialty boutiques....

I love Katy Perry

Because she wears Bows,toured with Paige Wood my kickass rockstar blondie,and wears Mandate of heaven and is a phenomenal pop diva making pop music respectable again just like The Ting Tings!!!

BLOND SHOW FOOTAGE

Fashion Show Line outside THE BLONDS

You can tell a bit about a designer by the crowds outside its line,just waiting to get into the big show. THE BLONDS had all the right kind of cool outside. Rockstars,Fashion illustrators,a touch of uptown but mostly downtown taste makers.


My old pal Oakley Munson who currently has a band,with girlfriend Kristen named "Puddin Tang",Oakley is also the ex lead singer for "The Witnesses" a band that was making headlines in the earlier part of this century.

Die J Mars above has a band called "Tulips for Tina",he is an in house stylist at Patricia Field's and is responsible for getting the "Page SIX,SIX,SIX" t-shirt by SOPHOMORE on to Britney Spear's for the VMA awards.

Pipa McManus above is a fashion illustrator with hot hair that was appropriate for the BLOND fashion show. She was responsible for designing the Aurelio Costarella invite.

Pretty PR Girls working the door for THE BLONDS show outside the Altman Building.

Eric Daman hearts Angel Lust!!!

Thanks to blogger GLENDY of Style Amor,I've found out that "Gossip Girl" stylist Eric Daman styled a shoot with www.revolveclothing.com,the shoot was GG inspired no doubt grabbing clothing from the online store and throwing together some hot looks worth talking about.

Thanks to Stylehive.com for covering me with my girls at Gossip Girl Nights!!!

Last night I headed over to Gossip Girl Nights, appropriately held at a little Upper East Side spot called Pop Lounge. The weekly, fashionindie-sponsored event is the kind of thing that makes me wish I lived in NYC, or at least visited more. Every Monday a different designer from the show is featured. This week's event showcased Angel Lust by Kristen May, an adorable line of headbands and bows that are perfect for turning up the charm on your sweet (and even your not-so-sweet) outfits. The retro-style lounge was ideal spot for indulging in cocktails and appetizers and a few OMFGs, naturally, and when the episode ended I had a chance to chat with the incredibly sweet Kristen herself, along with a few of her friends. Topics ranged from vintage shopping to blogging to grandmas (yup), and my way out i was treated to a gift bag filled with chocolates from the Chocolate Bar at Bendel's (where Kristen's pieces have been showcased) and a few other girly treats. You can find Angel Lust headbands, including the must-have rockstar-inspired Spring 2009 collection at Patricia Field in NYC, revolveclothing.com, and at her Etsy shop. Check out Kristen's blog for more pics from the night, and keep up with her work...psst, her true passion is clothing design!

Aurelio Cotarrella brings on the Theatrics of Fashion

Aurelio Costarella's Spring 2009 was filled with airy earth tones such as muted yellow gowns,and light draped dresses. Aurelio made excellent use of ruffles. If I had to use one word for this collection,sculptural comes to mind. Not sculptural in the avant guard sense (how to make woman look awful and ridiculous). All silhouettes where sculpted to bring out the most sophisticated upscale woman who attend high end events.

I made an attempt to tape this show because you will see all the pictures online however you will miss out on the dreamy movement of the fabric,and watching the ruffles flounce!!! This show was conveniently shown after the Zac Posen show,so viewers could rush over to Aurelio who may not be as big as Zac put shows great potential if given the chance with backers and sponsors Aurelio Costarrella will have the ability to match or surpass Zac's shows without a doubt.

Backstage and name dropping at THE BLONDS

New York fashion week tends to be a bit seemingly boring at times. All shows thrown by MAO never seem to fail me. Last night if you missed Phillipe and David Blond's runway costume design extravaganza,then you missed out big. and I'm not just talking about the actual show. The crowd was equally important,the front row was filled with every hot fashionista brat in the business. Pat Field sat front row with shades on, yielding the flashing cameras. World famous Amanda Lepore was up front in her frilly pink frock,when the spotlight wasn't on here then it was on Andre J. No true MAO fashion show is absolutely complete without the legendary Warhol superstar Sylvia Miles with the Baroness Sherry von Korber-Bernstein and her feathered hats!!!

But enough party talk. I want to praise the Blond's for spicing up fashion week with their blingged out corsets,jeweled flesh toned bathing suits and feathered goods.

Thank you Coutorture for supplying pictures from the show.





This glammed up show was heavily accented with the finest jewels designed by Ramona Boucher,her couture jewelry line is called BASTION. I stumbled upon the table and chatted up with Ramona herself. To my surprise she told me that she designed that famous to die for rose diamond ring that Samantha owned on "Sex in the City" the movie!!! I told her a little bit about my baby headband company Angel Lust,and she said "Well maybe you and I should get together and design some head pieces together",My jaw dropped as she slipped me her business card. All I could think was "PROMISE???"...

She handed me one of her gorgeous rocks on a ring and said try it on,OMG was it hard to take off. Her good friend Chad helped me out in that area. Take a closer look at the beautiful rocks in his hands.



All the models where clad in blond wigs naturally,and their nails where even decked out like a disco ball with the help of Creative Nail Designs.

The crow clapped ridiculously hard as super model Alek walk out but it was nothing compared to the applause Phillipe Blond got himself as he strutted the runway at the end.

This was a true fashion moment that hasn't happened since Teri Toye hit the scene in the 80's.


Here is one of the little models backstage getting her hair undone.


Here's me with my crazy Japanese vixen hair dresser Ayumie. She's been working at the Patricia Field hair Salon for like 13 years now and anyone I send to her they leave happy and go back for more. Mention my name "KRISTEN" and you just might get the girlfriend discount...But no promises!!!

Elle Werlin high fashion stylist extraordinair!!!

The most chill out down to earth high fashion stylist I've ever met. I don't think it was coincidental we sat next to each other. The kindhearted stylista exchanged info with me so she could use my stuff possibly for upcoming shoots. Thanks so much for the inspiration Elle Merlin!!!

Check out her site: www.EllwWerlyin.com she is my current new fave in the fashion world I am in...

Last night's Gossip Girl nights at POP LOUNGE...

POP LOUNGE is a swanky gourmet lounge with 6 wide screen projectors that show GOSSIP GIRL every Monday at 8. A new designer will show their line every week in a trunk show manner or display. It is hosted by Fashion Indie. Right next to Bergdorff Goodman's I recommend this place to chow down at after a long day's worth of shopping. Its a great date space as well,or to just simply sit and look fabulouse....Be sure to try their lobster rolls and a side cocktail called "Flirtinie"!!!


Check out my viewing from last night's soiree gathering of creative women,Caycee Black voted in Lucky mag's top 7 designers to watch, Liz a dainty girl who is a metal smith jewelry designer, and perfumer Celle Adore.

Here is the beautiful Lisa Golightly alongside trend forecaster Glendy.

Stylehive's Lisanne made an appearance coming all the way from California for Fashion Week!!!
