Fashion Star Week 3

I am now a panelist for the show on NBC4! You can chat with DC's Who's Who of the fashion scene every Tuesday on NBC4!

Here we go:

The conversation last night was great! Members included Maggy Francois, Angie Goff of NBC4, Aba Bonney Kwawu, James Cornwell, DewdropDC, Katherine Kennedy, and many more! These chic Washingtonians dished on their favorites of the episode, made critiques, and we all tried to guess who would get a buy before it happened!

These designers were purchased last night:

Above: The looks purchased by Saks Fifth Avenue. They are available at the Tysons Galleria location and online.

Above: The pieces purchased by Macy's. They are available online.

Above: The pieces purchased by H&M. They are available at the Tysons Corner location and online. (Ed. Note: Dress: $29.95 and Shorts $24.95

Overall the experience was great and it was wonderful to see so many people engaged in a show at once. I can't wait for next and you should join us too on NBC4!

Team Elie Visits DC

This past weekend, members of Elie Tahari's PR team came to Saks Fifth Avenue Tysons Galleria for an amazing Spring fashion show. The show was packed with many of Washington's fashion power players and shoppes eager to see the collection.

I love these types of fashion shows because the people that make Elie Tahari happen behind the scenes can come forward and tell you what they love most. Also, many fans would never have the change to meet a corporate team member for any of their favorite brands This opportunity allows them to engage wit the team.

NYFW Day 2: Herve Leger by Max Azria

What a treat to be invited to Herve Leger by Max Azria! Next year I am really hoping for both Max Azria and BCBG (but beggers can't be choosers!).

This show was beautiful, proper, precise.

NYFW Day 1 Look

Lauren had fun with all of the snow and was able to get some great daily style shots.

We had a mini photo shoot in Hannah's apartment after we attended the Goodness Lounge...

NYFW Day 1: Katya Lenovich FW 2012

I attended Katya's first collection ever presented in the US in September and after seeing that, I knew I had to come back!

This shot gives me goose bumps. I had to stand on my tip toes to get at a good angle!

 Cuts!

Um, bravo again katya!

Trip To Tommy!

A few weeks ago, I was able to go back to the Tommy Hilfiger corporate office for a private tour of the offices, the corporate closet and archives, and I got to peep into Tommy's personal closet!

NYFW Day 1: Nicole Miller FW 2012

After Rebecca Minkoff, I had a few hours to relax before Nicole Miller. I met Nicole Miller a while back and was able to connect with her PR team. The graciously extended me an invitation to the Fall/Winter 2012 show!

The show had a bohemian-chic feel to it. Nicole is a creative genius and is very caring. Thank you so much for having me!

This is my floor.

I had the amazing opportunity to go to the Teen Vogue offices and have a private tour of every department. This took place during Paris Fashion Week so not all the editors were around, but I was still able to meet some!

Erin Fetherston

Erin Fetherston graced my local Neiman Marcus and present her Spring 2012 Erin Erin Fetherston collection to an audience of young girls and their mothers.

I also made this little YouTube video:
