NYFW: Candela Spring/Summer 2013 Presentation

There was an indescribable innocence to the Spring/Summer 2012 Candela collection that made you want to lounge in the countryside — preferably in the south of France sipping champagne with one hand and holding a parasol in the other. Each design had an incredible softness that was completely inchanting and delicately feminine.

nhl caps You can’t throw a tent peg at a festival (or on a British beach) without hitting one of the following examples of hats to be avoided at all costs: Woody Allen ish floppy cotton hats, tropical pink straw styles that look like they should be hit by children bearing sticks piata style, cowboy hats, trilbies with ornate trims or in pastel colours, baker boy/ baseball hybrids. These are the hats of shame. So what does that leave?. nhl caps

nba caps In a city where talented and passionate cooks can be hard to come by, I have been quite fortunate to be surrounded by some very committed, hard working and loyal chefs who have helped me in achieving this. It can still be a source of stress and anxiety when I hear that we didn live up to a guest expectations, especially when it was because we failed to adhere to our standards and expectations. I am blessed in one sense though. nba caps

mlb caps Time to delve into the innards of both devices, and well, on paper the Lumia 1020 might seem to be better endowed thanks to its dual core processor, 32 GB onboard storage and 2GB RAM, but get into camera territory and the RX 100 II pulls ahead. It has a 1.0 type sensor with 20.2 effective megapixels, which might be lower in megapixel count than the monster 41.0 megapixel sensor seen on the Lumia 1020, but is significantly larger in size (the Lumia 1020 has an image sensor of 1/1.5 inch size). The RX 100 II also comes with a proper 3.6X optical zoom which compares very favourably with a 3X lossless zoom on the Lumia 1020. mlb caps

Asked how Pilar Sanders might have injured her lip, as it appeared in her mug shot, Gardner said her injury looked like she might have bitten her own lip.

Sponsored Post: Need a boost, try Starbucks Refreshers

As many of you know (especially my twitter/instagram followers), I went straight from a trip driving up the coast of California, to going to Burning Man, to doing a mini half-cross-country trip to Colorado, only to fly into NY for Fashion Week and then depart for a press trip to Poland (and I just landed back in NYC this evening). Needless to say, life’s been exciting by my energy levels have been put to the test.

Enter Starbucks Refeshers. This year Starbucks launched Starbucks Refreshers™ which comes in three forms, VIA (the instant coffee packets — just add water), an in-store beverage which is available in Very Berry Hibiscus (my preferred flavor) and Cool lime, and their sparkling energy beverages which comes in Raspberry Pomegranate, Strawberry Lemonade and Orange Melon flavors. I have actually tried them all… Starbucks Refreshers are naturally caffeinated from green coffee extract, and combines real fruit juice, B Vitamins, Vitamin C and Ginseng it makes for the perfect afternoon-pick-me-up.

I’m not usually one for bottled energy drinks, mainly because most of the cans on the market are filled with chemicals and are high in calories, but neither were the case with Starbucks Refreshers sparkling energy beverage. The ingredient list isn’t scary and it only has 60 calories per can.

It’s shocking to me that a beverage that tastes like a fruit spritzer is actually coffee. Or better yet, green coffee, which contains less caffeine then regular coffee so I don’t feel guilty about drinking them in the afternoon and/or early evening to recharge with the fear that they will keep me up all night. Plus it seems to chemically agree with my system better (I think my body is just immune to all of the dark roast coffee I drink) and is super convenient to stock up on in the fridge.

Picture from tonight: Straight from the airport I picked up some Refreshers!

It’s also hands down been my savior when it comes to jetlag. I boarded my flight to Poland drinking Starbucks Refreshers and it’s the first thing I bought when I landed at JFK this afternoon to keep me up until a reasonable sleeping hour (and be able to write this post). They have managed to keep me alert without feeling jittery or overly hyper. It takes about 20minutes for it to kick in and within that timeframe they completely dissolves that feeling of needing a power nap to go on.

All of the Refreshers are sweeter then I’d like but still enjoyable. My favorite flavors rank in this order: Orange Melon (it’s the most refreshing and natural tasting), Raspberry Pomegranate (which I’m also a fan of), then Strawberry Lemonade (which is the sweetest of them all).

About Starbucks Refreshers™ Ready To Drink: Each beverage is a sparkling, delicious boost of natural energy from Green Coffee Extract you can enjoy anytime. With real fruit juice, B vitamins, ginseng, antioxidants from vitamin C and only 60 calories per can, it’s a pick-me-up you can feel good about.

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post, produced in collaboration with Bliss and Starbucks.  I received a Starbucks Refreshers sample to review. The opinions shared in this post are my own. I have also since purchased Starbucks Refreshers.

NYFW: Falguni and Shane Peacock Spring/Summer 2013 Collection

Pushing the envelope right into the future, Falguni and Shane Peacock grabbed the crowd’s attention from the moment the static control-tower audio said lift off. A galactic experience began with planet-centric prints pixelated on sheer overlays, some in dramatic form grazing the runway others more playful hitting mini territory. Intricate embellishments on necklines and bodices added glamour to the fantasy, but my favorite might have been the space age sunnies that were dazzlingly decked out. True these out of this world garments danced the line of being costume-like, but for the right red carpet diva, I’m thinking Billboard Music Awards, a FSP number with all it’s sci-fi shimmer will evoke the right kind of looks.
