By Invitation Only: How We Built Gilt
So, my cousin Monique Nelson, Uniworld‘s new CEO, recommended I read By Invitation Only: How We Built Gilt from the Gilt Groupe founders Alexis Maybank and Alexandra Wilkis Wilson for an interesting read on building a company in the fashion business.
Am currently working to use my artwork to start my own fashion brand and just got the book in the mail. I’m excited to start reading!
Yours truly,

Furla and Saks Fifth Avenue Presents Femme Fairytales
Last night I attended the unveiling of the Furla and Saks Fifth Avenue Femme Fairytales Handbag Collection hosted by Kelly Rutherford of Gossip Girls!
The candy bags were very whimsical and fabulous. Rebecca Moses was commissioned to illustrate and create stories of five special women (Femme Fairytales). They represent the story and lives of the women and each one was quite unique- jewels, studs and even blue ostrich feathers! The bags are actually not that expensive, to my surprise. Most seem to selling for at least under $1000.
I chatted with Vera Wang (love her work) and showed off one of my favorite bags with Fabio Fusi, Furla’s Creative Director. The president of Furla, Giovanni Furlanetto, was also in attendance representing the company. It was a lovely evening!
VOGUE Bambini Fashion Show: NYC Petite Parade 2012
This weekend the hottest designer fashion for kids hit the runway at the VOGUE Bambini Fashion Show also known as the Petite Parade.
Beautiful kids handpicked by the children’s fashion magazine strutted their stuff downtown at Industria Superstudio near the MeatPacking District. The show featured designs for children by Olivia Rose, Caramel Baby & Child and Lilly Pulitzer and more.
They were adorable!
Maison Martin Margiela for H & M
Maison Martin Margiela’s deconstructed and oversized look is hitting H & M stores November 15th. This playful collection will certainly stir up the ‘norm’ at H & M this Fall.
I personally just love the contrast of the below outake from the lookbook: sparkly silver leggings paired with a big white coat.
Spice Up Your Work Outfit with These Giuseppe Zanotti Blue Suede Pumps
Hey everyone,
Happy Monday to you, hope you’re having a great day at work!
These new Giuseppe Zanotti blue pumps make me really happy at work as they go great paired with a conservative gray, blue or black dress for the office!
This is a great way to spice up your outfit at work. Pair them with a great shift dress like the grey “CEO” or black “Work with Me ” dresses shown below, for example, from ModCloth.
