Polyvore Style Lounge

PLUG-IN & primp

at the

POLYVORE STYLE LOUNGE

I was invited to "plug in and primp" with Polyvore yesterday in New York's Soho House. My guest was my lovely sister, Elizabeth, who was in a New york state of mind as her instagram post stated. I Love her!  The style lounge was created for those fashionable ladies who run from show to show and might be in  need of a "full  recharge". The set up in the room was magical with three Sephora make-up stations. I felt like a moth going straight towards the pretty little lights on the mirrors. Gosh, anything shinny and glittery is so distracting to me. I go from my moth stage to a gold fish with a one mintue attention span. I am admitting to a problem, but not ready for an intervention just yet. 

The style lounge also had light bites, drinks, music, charging station, Sephora goodies around the room and poly's love gifts as I like to call them (pins, phone charger, and double compact mirror). I will say this now, the two items that will never leave my bag will be the poly charger and mirror. Now about that polyvore phone case? *hint hint*

Poly's Love gifts

The best part was seeing Nadia and Jess again (my lovely's). They always look very stylish with an edge, yet elegant and beautiful like a rose. They are both sweet, friendly and really do care about the polyvore community. I love them!

I was also able to meet Marisa(piccolamarisa.com) she was there attending fashion shows as one of the three polyvore community correspondent. She is a cutie who works at Kate Spade and gets to be around color and polka dots all day long oxox

Then it was my turn to get my make-up done by Shawn Lumaban, a senior make-up artist at Sephora (http://instagram.com/shauneylicious) He was awesome and so nice.

Even the bathroom mirror had me at lipstick.

Wendy's Salad Fun w/Polyvore

  I received an invite from Polyvore to attend Wendy's Salad Collection roof top private party. This event was to … "enjoy the first tastes of summer with Wendy’s new seasonal salad – the Strawberry Fields Chicken Salad – and hear the hottest summer trends from style icon Molly Sims while overlooking New York City’s best views….celebrating the hottest season and Wendy's #NewSaladCollection Style Board contest in partnership with Polyvore."

The venue for this lovely event was the roof top of Rockefeller's Center. The weather was perfect, not just for the beautiful views, but to also enjoy a Wendy's salad picnic style. I loved the decor and pop of sunny sunflowers to reflect all the summer days ahead of us still. I will be honest and say I was never a fan of having fruits in my salads, but the combination of mixed greens, strawberries, blue cheese and dash of apple balsamic vinaigrette made this my favorite salad for the summer. I don't eat meat so I picked out the bacon and grilled chicken. To wash down the salad, we were all given the pleasure of drinking their strawberry lemonade. Ahhhhhhhh, the best and most refreshing drink i've had in a long time. *took one to go* ;)

Model, actress Molly Sims was present as spokes woman and judge for polyvore contest. She shared fashion tips and answered questions anyone may have had. And these are her words " I really love Polyvore" oxox. It was also nice seeing again polypals and meeting a few whom I've been friends with from the start, and now we finally meet. It's actually a surreal moment when we put a face to a screen name.

Fashion Week:Anna Sui SS/14

The second Fashion Show I attended was that of Anna Sui. Her collection was inspired by Pre-Raphaelite paintings and Psychedelic Posters from the 60's. This collection was indeed beautiful and the inspiration from both sources were clearly evident. Some of the models walked down with bright red orange hair, a trademark look in most Pre-Raphaelite paintings. Picture a modern day Dante Gabriel Rossetti's Ophelia walking around in New York rocking out to Jimi Hendrix.
