Swarovski Remix Soiree with Skai Jackson and Patricia FIeld

Swarovski REMIX Party with Skai Jackson, Patricia Field

Last week, I closed out fashion week with some major sparkle, hosting the Swarovski’s REMIX Collection Launch Party with actress, Skai Jackson at the brand’s Rockefeller Center Store. Skai also served as Teen Vogues Fashion Week ambassador and did a really great recap of her journey and the event on teenvogue.com. For anyone not familiar with the Remix collection, it’s a vast mix of silver and rose gold bracelets with a magnet clasp making it easy to stack, and also hook together to turn bracelets into wrap bracelets, necklaces and beyond.Karlie Kloss Swarovski Remix CampaignWith so many styles and endless mix and match opportunities — just look at all the different ways and personalities Karlie Kloss captures in her above ad campaign. What I love about this collection is its versatility and ability to be styled to your personal style. My style is a mix of edgy and classic, I love mixing metallics and textures. I also loved looping it through my ring finger.Speaking of personal style, I was so honored to have one of my favorite people join me, famed costume stylist and fashion icon, Patricia Field. And of course, my pomeranian and side kick, Charlie, who was rocking some Swarovski of his own.

Greetings from Mykonos

I don’t know what to say except island life is really agreeing with me. I don’t know that I’ve ever been so relaxed. Mykonos really agrees with me. I have no concept of what time it is or even what day it is. Patricia Field threw the most fabulous party and runway show for her ARTFASHION x Apostolos Mitropoulous collaboration on the island (I’ll be posting the video and images shortly), and she’s been the most amazing host.

Her friends are incredible, full of life and just so happen to have the best taste in restaurants — great food with exceptional views of the water. Speaking of her friends, Darren Star and Debi Mazar came from filming the finale of Younger to be at the show (are you all watching? Because it’s one of the best comedy shows out right now, plus Patricia Field is styling it!). And yes, Debi Mazar

Celebrating Karlie Kloss as the Face of Swarovski #BeBrilliant

nbs-studios-charlie-kingOn Tuesday Night, Charlie and I enjoyed a glamorous evening at the Top of the Rock to celebrate Karlie Kloss as the new face and brand ambassador to Swarovski. In a gorgeous campaign shot my photographer Tommy Ton (we LOVE him!), here is one of my favorites from the campaign. You can see all of the images HERE.

I never imagined my dog could be such an amazing +1. And to think I almost didn’t bring him! Before the event Charlie and I visited Swarovski to take a look at the new collection and what can I say, he charmed the crowd into lending him this amazing Swarovski necklace that’s part of their collaboration with Jean Paul Gaultier. Needless to say it’s on both of our wish lists!

I mean, how cute is he? I’m not sure there was a single person at that party that didn’t hold or snapchat him. He was in the arms of everyone from Hailee Seinfeld, Bryanboy to Harley Viera-Newton. And we may or may not have a video of BryanBoy saying he’s the most fashionable dog he’s ever met. #Goals people!

Swarovski’s Natural Reflection

Swarovski Gems™ launched its Natural Reflection collection last week at the beautiful Glasshouse 21 venue in NYC. This collection maximizes on the contemporary and unique beauty of the mineral marcasite. Swarovski uses marcasite in the Natural Reflection collection because of its metallic and modern look, blurring the line between gemstone and metal. Take a look at some of the amazing pieces displayed at the event!

Bravo’s Mad Fashion and Fashion Hunters Season Finale Tonight

Q&A with the cast of Mad Fashion and Fashion Hunters

Yesterday, I had a sneak peek into Bravo’s Mad Fashion and Fashion Hunters season finale airing tonight and some quality time with the casts from both shows.

What to expect? For Mad Fashion, watch Chris March and his team  in action as they make the most amazing black McQueen inspired evening gown for Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, Chrissy Teigen, for her first major red carpet appearance (with,ahem, boyfriend John Legend) to the 2011 Met Ball. Since the event already happened, I don’t feel bad about showing you the dress. The train is to die for!!! It’s made from thousands of Swarovski crystals!!! And despite a little drama over which collar Chrissy should wear, the feather one she ends up going for is stunning. Although wait until you see the other neck piece — It’s so Mcqueen with a Chris March twist;). And considering the theme of this years Met Ball was Alexander McQueen it would have been perfect!

The only frustrating part of the episode is wanting to tell Chrissy to have her own opinions when it comes to what she wears! Input from your man

Week in Review (9.20 – 9.24)– Parties, Places, and Happenings

Swarovski Element '22 Ways to Say Black' Event

Monday (20th) – I attended the Swarovski Elements ‘22 Ways to Say Black’ charity auction. Hosted at Phillips de Pury, I registered for a paddle and partook in the auction, although I came home empty handed.  The event raised over $100,000 to benefit breast cancer research. Guests in attendance included Halle Berry, Julianna Margulies, and Sofia Vergara.

Welcome to Coterie

Tuesday (21st) – The first day of the Fashion Coterie Sole Commerce show at Jacob Javitt center! I spent the day at the Chocolat Blu booth lusting over these shoes! I have to wait til Spring 2011 to add them to my collection. That should give me enough time to decide which color I want.

That evening I took my first Pole Dancing class (Intro to Pole Dancing, taught by Bonnie Fischer) at NY Pole. I’m not one for working out (I try, I just get bored), and I’m incredibly shy, so walking into the small studio, I was a little nervous. However, my friend and I had a blast! It was so fun, and we both felt so comfortable that it wasn’t scary at all. It was such a great workout and the time flew by. I even learned a thing or two;)

My new Hermes Silk Jersey Scarf (36"x36")

Wednesday (22nd) – I was a bad girl and joined my cousin at the Hermes sample sale.  Meet my new friend (above). Love my scarf, but I’m officially cut off.

Lara & Erika at the Casio Baby-G & Hellz Release Party

That evening the lovely Erika (from Shoes, Shirts, and Other Sh!t) and I attended the Baby-G & Hellz Collaboration Release Party featuring DJ Elle at 1Oak. Creating two signature watches, L.A. based designer Hellz and Casio Baby-G watches featured 80’s pop fashion homage to the NYC streets. What do you think of them? Better than the poor excuse of a drink 1Oak served up? Agreed. What can I say 1Oak if you’re not offering an open bar and are going to charge $18 a drink, put some alcohol in it.

Hellz and Casio Baby-G watches ($89)

Thursday (23rd) – Back to the Coterie show, this time to hang out with former Project Runway contestant, Daniel Feld and model his new line, Kymerah. I WANT IT ALL! I will post more about the line shortly.
