I’m so excited to be working with the amazing team at Children of Armenia Fund (COAF) and to be on the host committee for their annual Summer Soiree at the Dream Downtown hotel. My good friend Patricia Field (yes, the Patricia Field) took me as her date last year and I am so glad to have this opportunity to get further involved with this wonderful cause. Both Patricia and myself will be in attendance and hope you’re able to join us!

Coachella Diaries: Day 3 with Patricia Field
{Outfit details: Top: Boy Meets Girl Racerback Tank & Ruffle Trim Shorts, Bag: LeSportsac x Rifle Paper Company Marion Floral Print, Glasses: Rivet & Sway, Jewelry: Assortment of Pandora}
Day 3 (April 13th) could not have come with a better start. Glasses.com, the official eyewear sponsor of Coachella invited us to their VIP Glasses Half Full Coachella Party, which was like rehab for the soul. The space was so relaxing and beautiful, there was a live piano player and healthy bites from Fat Radish. Our fellow NYC pals, Vanity Projects we’re also at the event offering cool nail art and manicures. We lounged around the compound and visited the gifting suites from Sandro New York, Caeden headphones (which are a super cool design) and glasses.com. I found a pair of Rivet & Sway glasses that matched my hair perfectly and didn’t take them off the rest of the day (see pictured below).
Coachella Diaries: Day 2 with Patricia Field
After a super packed day 1 of Coachella (check out the full recap HERE), we decided for day 2 (Saturday, April 12th) we’d take the morning off and start the day with Pandora jewelry. Hosted at the Parker Hotel where we were staying, Pandora did a super cool activation during Coachella in which every day they partnered with a different designer and featured an exclusive runway show. Friday night they kicked off with Siwy Denim, Saturday with Nanette Lepore and Plenty by Tracy Reese and Sunday with WHit.
Coachella Diaries: Day 1 with Patricia Field
It’s hard to believe Coachella has come and gone! James and I had so much fun this season and having Patricia Field as our date is every bit as awesome as you would imagine and more! The three of us hit some miles in our Chevy Trax (which was the perfect travel car!) in our 4 days in Palm Springs (plus two in LA!).
We kicked off Coachella the night before the music festival at the “Not a Pool Party” kick off at Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs. Headlining the event was Elliphant, who unfortunately we left before she went on (had to rest up for the 1st day of Coachella)! We did however catch, PPL MVR, which was by far one of the strangest performances I have ever seen (and that says a lot).

What an epic weekend! It’s not everyday you get to go to Coachella with a fashion icon who just so happens to be someone you’ve admired since you were a teenager. As the costume designer behind the looks for the cast of Sex and the City, Devil Wears Prada, The Other Woman and now the new show, Younger, starring Hilary Duff, who better to check out the fashion scene with than with Patricia Field? And as DSW’s official festival corespondent I was taking notes all weekend and here’s the style recap.

The Secret Behind Patricia Field’s Red Hair
From the moment I met Patricia Field (and the decade prior when I would see her at events), her hair is always on point! And now that we’re at Coachella together, it seemed like the perfect time to ask what her secret was for achieving that iconic red hair.
Guess who’s going to Coachella with Patricia Field?
I’m not sure there are words to express how excited I am to announce that I’ll be going to Coachella with my good friend, costume designer and fashion hero, Patricia Field. We’ll be taking in all the music, events and fashion — and of course sharing it with all of you. We have some exciting things on the horizon and we will share more details closer to the date!

2014 Recap: Oh the Places We’ve Gone (and the people we’ve met!)
I started a tradition last year, where I do a recap post of all my big moments. And it’s something I suggest for everyone — well maybe not a post but at least to take some time to look back at the year you’ve had. It’s a great opportunity to relive some big moments and reflect. I’m always moving so fast that this is really my chance to look back and remember some of the great experiences I’ve had in 2014. So here we go…
Top 2014 Moments:
January – I rang in the new year in Africa (literally on the plane). My first trip there where I toured Uganda and Zanzibar (and got to be in a wedding wearing a traditional gown!).
February – An exciting month of hosting events starting with the launch of GrandCentralBeauty’s new serum with Orange is the New Black star, Jessica Pimental at Henri Bendel. As well as an Oscars party in Washington DC for the Four Seasons Hotel! I also met Joan Jett and Bill Cunningham during Fashion week, which just about made my life.
This is also the month where I got to take my little sister, Renee to her first concert to see Christina Perri thanks to MINKPINK.
March – I’m announced as Skype’s Global Beauty Ambassador! We have an exciting beauty series we’ll be launching soon! I also become an ambassador for Lavazza Coffee. I also have an amazing morning with Tim Gunn and my friends at P&G.
April – my first time to Coachella. A magical weekend of music, parties and fashion. My first time seeing so many amazing acts including Lana del Ray, Solange, Beck, Pharrell, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Diddy, Nelly, Gwen Stefani and so many more!
It’s also the month where I met Patricia Field, who I’m now honored to call my friend. And we’re going to be doing Coachella this year together!!!
I also attended the launch of Beauty Within Magazine with Gabby Reece (remember her? Talk about my old school sports hero).
May – I host the official launch party my charity Share Your Beauty. As a division of the non-profit, Family-to-Family, we collect unused beauty products from editors, bloggers, and beauty enthusiasts as well as brands who have excess products and donate them to homeless and women’s shelters in the NYC tri-state area. In less then a year since launching we have collected over 20,000 products!
I also look forward to heading to the White House Correspondents weekend every May and partying down with all my favorite celebrities. The highlight this year was President Fitz of Scandal.
June – My video campaign for L’Oreal goes live on StyleCaster! And I get to judge the ICMAD beauty awards! I also launch my second blog, In His Clothes!
July – I get to celebrate Patricia Field’s 2 year anniversary of her store with her and the opening of Birchbox’s first store on the same night.
August: I have a horse filled week! I head to the Hamptons to film an episode of the House of DVF at the Hamptons Classic. And then get invited to the Saratoga Races with America’s Best Racing.
I also get a private tour of the Jeff Koons exhibit at the Whitney after hours when it was technically closed!
September – The big moment where I had a 2 page feature for COVERGIRL in Cosmopolitan Magazine for the September issue! Now I’ve been in a lot of major magazine’s, but this was by far the most mind blowing and such an honor. If I could dream this big in high school, I would say it was a dream come true.
We also enjoyed another wonderful fashion week in NY, where I got to go backstage at Jeremy Scott for Miley Cyrus’s jewelry/art debut. I also had the pleasure of joining Caravan Stylist Studios to host an event for Save the Garment Center with the cast of Orange is the New Black.
October – I’m featured in an advertorial for L.A. COLORS in Life & Style and In Touch Weekly! I also get to go backstage at Hedwig, thanks to the shows makeup artist, Mike Potter and hang out in Neil Patrick Harris’ dressing room and play with the wigs!
November – I was so honored to be invited by Alive Magazine to sit front row at St. Louis Fashion Week.
November: A month in Australia, visiting Brisbane, Cairns, Melbourne and Sydney.
While I was there, I was featured on Century 21’s website (so flattered!) and on my good friend, Patricia Field’s blog where she wrote “I live for creativity. Creative people inspire me, entertain me, and teach me. Hopefully it’s a two way street, and I offer them something in return.” Obviously, she’s one of the most inspiring women I’ve ever met and this quote means so much since it’s exactly how I live my life and she’s such a role model for me.
December: What a month… I spent the first half still in Australia, a week in LA with a 2-day camping trip at Joshua Tree (which I’ve always wanted to do). And in major news! I was on an episode of the House of DVF!
The there’s the perfect close, spending NYE in Times Square with the official ball drop sponsors, COVERGIRL and Cosmopolitan!!
I’m so excited for what’s the come in 2015, thank you all for reading and being apart of my adventures.

While I’ve been non-stop snorkling down under, I came up for some air to two really exciting features. First off one of my mentors, and friend, Stylist Patricia Field (yes, the Patricia Field, costume designer for Sex and the City, Devil Wears Prada and countless others), featured me on her blog. Her intro was such a memorable quote and she inspires me everyday to work hard, stay creative and do what I love.
