My December Reads and Other News

ambassador of fashionambassador of fashion, olsen twinsambassador of fashion, charlize theronambassador of fashion, lady gagaConsidering I’m a fashion blogger, it may come as a surprise that I never took an interest in reading fashion magazines until just this past month. Here are the magazines I’ve been reading the last couple of weeks. I definitely have a favorite already, which I just subscribed to. But I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings ;) Let me know if there are any magazines you rely on to get your fashion scoop…or if you read all of them. I’m interested in knowing what everyone else is reading.

This week is currently a bit chaotic, with trying to get everything situated at home and with work before my break for the holidays. I will continue to keep you all updated, but I’m definitely excited to be getting out of the city for 5 whole days next week! :) One of the many things I love about New York is getting away from New York every once in a while. I feel like it keeps me grounded, and it just makes me love being here even more.

Also some other news I’m very excited about, I’ve been invited to cover the 6th annual Broadway Sings for Toys event, which will take place Monday night at the Symphony Space in the Thalia Theatre in Manhattan. It may not be the most fashionable event of the year, but it will certainly involve a wonderful cause and some of the most talented people in New York City, and I’m so honored that I’m going to take part in it. :)

Escapism Couture: Iris van Herpen – Wamel, Netherlands

‘Escapism couture‘ is the perfect terminology one would use to properly describe designer Iris van Herpen‘s haunting collection.

fashion, style, ambassador of fashionWhen viewing a large number of her pieces, at one point I actually thought “…could van Herpen be my new McQueen?” Well, there will never be another Alexander McQueen, however after having read in van Herpen’s bio that she had interned under the late designer in London, I thought it made only too much sense. I imagine after interning with Alexander McQueen, it would be difficult to ever see fashion in a “realist” sense ever again. Although I like to think van Herpen found some inspiration from the great designer, it’s quite clear she’s succeeded in creating her own world of artistic expression.

AOF, Chanel Iman, & DKNY’S Million Dollar Perfume Bottle – NYC

Last Monday, I attended DKNY’S unveiling of their Million Dollar Perfume Bottle. I waited until today to share my photos because I do what I want.

Remember back when I went to see Uma Thurman at Lord & Taylor a little while ago, and I said photographing celebrities was not my thing? Well, lucky for me, I had no idea who Chanel Iman was when I attended DKNY’s event.

Before leaving, DKNY was kind enough to give me a sampling of the Be Delicious fragrance to take home!
