Press event: Fornarina

Fornarina was the first show I photographed this past Fashion Week and I found myself graced with the brand's presence again during press week. I particularly love this line because it's the perfect balance of elegance and animated fun. With the little flower accents, pronounced polka dot patterns, and the dazzling metallic shades, there is an eloquent fluency throughout the entire collection.

Kipling

Yesterday I attended several press events. This one happened to be one of my favorites. Kipling carries a large array of various types of bags that all have two very important things in common: practicality and durability! The various lines include backpacks, totes, messenger bags, travel, luggage, and even wallets and accessories. Whatever size or style of bag you are looking for, they probably have something that will cater to your personal style and needs! I personally prefer the over-sized bags with bold colors and offbeat phrases as a personal reflection of my own style. I love, love, love the gift I received as well; an iPad case (which I was in desperate need of) with the signature monkey key-chain.

Al e Ro Design "People's Look" event

Yesterday, I photographed the AL e RO design “People’s Look” event at the charming restaurant, Ama.Mi. Al e Ro sunglasses are the first rubber mounted sunglasses that are entirely flexible with interchangeable lenses. Those who received an invitation to the event were encouraged to invite as many people as they wanted.  It was a great turn out and overall an amazing event. Everyone enjoyed being able to try on the glasses in their favorite shade and then have their photo taken. A nice little added bonus: Whoever is chosen for having the "winning photo" wins a free pair of glasses!!!

Below you can check out some photos from the event! I had to keep the glasses neutral since my dress was already loud.

Pink&Chic Newsletter: Look Divine

"Real connoisseurs do not drink wine: tastings secrets." ~ S. Dali


From the 13th to  the 15th of this April {2012}, the Grand Hotel Royal  and Golf (www.hotelroyalegolf.com) Courmayeur will host the first edition of the Royal Wine Festival, a window of a reality that reserves many surprises: the wines of Valle d'Aosta, the crème de la crème of Italy.

The charming lounge bar of the historic hotel will host the wineries of the region; offering the opportunity to become better acquainted with not only the wine scene Valle d'Aosta, on the Route des Vins, but especially the "Vignerons" which, thanks to their love  and passion, despite the  difficult geographical and climatic conditions within the territory, they still continue to produce high quality, genuine wine. In addition to delighting the palate, wine grapes also offer us new ways of enjoying complete relaxation.

On the occasion of the Royal Wine Festival de Beauté Centre of Grand Hotel Royal has studied wine therapy treatment based on active grape: body scrubs, grape seed oil, massage and facial revitalizing properties, antioxidants, and toning.

Having satisfied taste and touch we can not satisfy the view. Here then are some leading looks in which are ideal to exude divinity:



 Melys (www.melys.it) proposes a wine-colored dress in soft cotton and cashmere, slim-fit, long scarf are made from elegant tones.

For a sharp look, Vladimiro Gioia(www.vladimirogioia.com) suggests a leather overcoat adorned with studs on the shoulders, perfect when paired with mini dress in leather and rubber sun glasses AL E RO AND DESIGN (www.alerodesig.com) 

The more formal the proposal instead of LAURA MANCINI (www.lauramancini.net) a practical suit jacket and pants in shiny satin fabric black grapes.

LONDON IN PARIS (www.londoninparis.com) offers us a sparkling skirt red lace flounces, while Gulhan OZER a classic high-waisted skirt in shades of purple. 

Today's Picks. 4: From Studs to Spikes

After attending the Frankie Morello fashion show this past fashion week, I knew that anything 'spikes' were going to make for great statement pieces ...immediately following. That collection was one of my favorites and rightfully so. I love this particular trend because it's fun, bold, and a certainly a bit on the edgier side. There is a lot of versatility that is offered with 'spikes' as well. You can continue the consistnecy of the theme by pairing spiked pumps with a sleek black leather jacket, skinny pants and a white tee; or take the look in a completely different direction by pairing those same shoes with a pretty pastel dress. I think both are great and convey entirely two different presentations!
