Especially when it comes to the costumes.  And if your anything like me and love fashion and everything french then your in luck!  Starting tomorrow, Tuesday March 5th the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF), presents the CinémaTuesdays film series The Man Makes the Clothes: Pierre Cardin in Film, a tribute to the pioneering Italian-born French designer that examines his contribution to some of the greatest French films of the post-war era.

Allison_Tavi_KatieMARLO1

Upon walking into the Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center for the red carpet premiere of the documentary “MAKERS: Women Who Make America”, I immediately felt this a ridiculous fierce energy just knowing I was surrounded by some of the most groundbreaking women in America.  Proudly presented by PBS, AOL and Simple Facial Skincare, in walked the likes of Gloria Steinem, Allison Williams, Katie Couric, Amy Goodman, Marlo Thomas (alongside husband, Phil Donanhue) and Tavi Gevinson (to name a few).  As part of a sneak preview of the documentary, they let guests view the 1st hour and  part of the third.  The film is a unique initiative that documents the extraordinary impact women from all walks of life have made in America over the past 50 years. The ladies featured filled me with tears of inspiration and awe.

Mark your calendars (literally go get a pen!), MAKERS: Women Who Make America debuts on airs February 26, at 8PM on PBS.  Watch the preview here.

LARA: What’s the best part about being an Angel?

CANDICE: It’s definitely a big title that every model wants and the recognition you get from the industry and the world, but for me the best thing is being able to travel to beautiful islands and to call the beach my office. That and being with the best people every time.

LARA: What are you most looking forward to on Valentine’s Day?

CANDICE: I’m funny on Valentine’s Day, I don’t expect too much. I do try to step out of comfort zone and wear something sexy and different. Also my boyfriend should plan something nice for us, it’s his day too.

PC Honored by Mondrian Soho x NMRKT

Nicole Miller top, d.brand slip fit denim black pants

You know what, I really like hosting events. I mean really, REALLY like hosting them. Last week I was honored alongside D.Brand as part of a monthly fashion series that NMRKT and Mondrian Soho produce. Every month, the duo picks a different blogger and designer to celebrate and lets them host a party. And at Mondrian’s Mister H no less!

So basically, dream venue (if you haven’t been it’s straight out of the 70s nightclub — red lighting, stripper poles — and yet somehow it’s still manages to be classy). What I like most is that it’s a very intimate space so you can actually enjoy your guests instead of having to search for them. I had a ball! Over 150 of my readers, pr peeps, bloggers and friends came to support. I was so humbled by the turn out and felt so honored to host such an incredible group.

If you’re not familiar with NMRKT or D.Brand, lets fix that! NMRKT hosts an incredibly cute site that poses the question, what are you in the market for, and then
