Of all the flannel and suspenders wearing fashion designers, the dynamic duo of Costello Tagliapietra is my favorite. Their approach to design differs from season to season but grace elegance and ease are a constant factor.
Hearing loss is a very real threat affecting many Americans each year. For some it is a genetic condition, for others a degenerative disorder following old age, for even more it is the culmination for years of poor ear health.
As bloggers go Perez Hilton is one of the most notorious. Often recognized for his sharp tongue and take no prisoners approached to gossip he is more often seen as a social pariah than a patron saint. Though many may not know of his softer side thousands witnessed first hand the extent of his reach, as he pulled together an amazing charity event in NYC’s Hammerstein ballroom. The evening aptly titled “One Night in NYC” is a partnership with Hilton and the GLSEN to raise awareness and raise funds to help prevent bullying in schools. The concert sponsored by OpenSky, Music Choice’s SWRV TV, Brita FilterForGood Music Project, SOUL by Ludacris, popchips, ZICO: Pure Coconut Water, TY KU, UV Vodka, Asahi Beer, and BlogAds featured an amazing line up of talented musicians.
On an unseasonably warm evening in the heart of NYC at the illustrious “Espace” venue, T-Mobile presented the latest in Android powered technology. The Samsung Galaxy 2 and the HTC Amaze joined the T-Mobile family with a glamorous red carpet party complete with passing edibles, open bar service and celebrity sightings. Guests were also invited to various kiosks to try the new devices for themselves for an authentic hands on experience. Samsung pulled out all the stops for these two hand-held entertainment centers whose features include:
The talented duo of the Ruffian design house, presented their 2012 Spring collection in a packed house at New York’s fashion week.
Last year there were over 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S. alone. This staggering number is a small glimpse in how far research efforts and modern medicine have gone in the last decade. Though progress has been made there is still much work to be done.
Every year some new celebrity throws their hat into the fashion ring. Relying solely on a sudden popularity or group of talented but faceless individuals to pull off their collections. Rachel Zoe had no such luck.
One presentation I never miss is Callula Lillibelle, a personal favorite for its inventive use of color and prints. The stellar collection often draws inspiration from legendary actresses and notable screen sirens of bygone eras. In viewing the offering for Spring 2012 I found myself thinking of Marilyn Monroe, Sandra Dee, and the legendary Lucille Ball. The collection featured soft delicate colors and ladylike details. Also prominent throughout the collection were polka dots. The whimsical print weaved its way throughout the collection adding a touch of merriment throughout.
One of the most stunning pieces was this beautiful mint creme gown. The full skirting and cinched waist are a knock out combination. In keeping with the Lillibelle tradition of combining old and new, pops of orange were added.
This surprising mix of dots was an interesting instantly wearable look. We loved the playful print slacks against the mix media dots.
We loved this 2 piece combination. The color and detailing are superb and uniquely Lillibelle.
As collections go Lillibelle has once again provided the fashion hungry masses with a banquet of style sophistication and fun.
