Wednesday night I was lucky enough to go to the Kate Spade store in soho where Rebecca Ward had made this awesome instalation of neon pink and yellow tape.

The outfit above is what I wore that night!!

If anyone knows me they know I love neon pink!! still trying to find the perfect pink lip shade but the backstage Bambi is pretty good :)

What I loved most about this event was that we had arts and crafts to play with YAY!.

There were rolls upon rolls of the neon tape that you could use to decorate these little kate spade books that they gave out!

Here's a silly video of me conjuring up a ring out of tape. HA!

MALANDRINO ILLUSTRATED

During this glorious and exciting time that is NYFW, I was lucky enough to see the Malandrino Presentation. I have to say it was incredible.

I was so inspired by the whole collection especially the silhouettes, so much so I wanted to illustrate my favourite looks.

For the full collection please click here.

NOTE: these illustrations are only my depiction of the Malandrino collection and do not claim to be exact replicas!

And today I was very excited to see the collections at the Antwerp presentation.

And there we saw these amazing glasses by LENNY LELEU.

Her collection was really interesting and I need to buy some of her pieces immediately.

It consisted of deconstructed T shirts with interlayed corsets and bodices and colorful screen prints. See her Site for pictures!!
