Kimberly Baker Jewelry

I was never much of a jewelry girl, pearl pendants and diamond solitaires just don't seem to catch my eye. Luckily there are a few jewelry designers out there that are a bit more up my alley. Kimberly Baker's designs are the perfect mix of naughty and nice, calling me back to my pseudo-goth days as a teenager but refined enough to pair with cocktail dresses. Her jewelry can be purchased at www.letrainbleu.com and kimberlybaker.com.

Oh, and those are green garnets in that octopus ring, who knew such a thing existed? I want, I want.

It never hurts to be just as cute as the pieces you design.

Great Kate

Elle magazine doesn’t really do it for me. The overly romantic Giles Bensimon fashion spreads are dull and redundant and I will never ever forgive them for that Lindsay Lohan cover awhile back. How then, is their senior fashion editor Kate Lanphear the most stylish woman ever? Seriously, look at her!

The Art Parade Is Coming!!!

As soon as I thought this week couldn't get any better (being New York Fashion Week and all...) I found out that the Deitch Projects Art Parade is happening on Saturday! If you're going to be in New York, definitely get yourself to West Broadway to witness the festivities!

From the press release:
"This year's parade will include over 75 projects, including those by Tauba Auerbach, Assume Vivid Astro Focus, Matthew Rodriguez, The Dazzle Dancers, Kenny Scharf, COCO's Demoiselles, Trevor Stone and the Conundrums, and will involve over 700 participants - making this the largest and most dynamic Art Parade yet."

Sounds good to me! Last September I got to witness my first Art Parade. There were a couple of highlights including getting to see the Citizens Band and the Paper Magazine float with Iris Apfel. My favorite float definitely had to be the Fischerspooner float designed by Gareth Pugh. Here's a picture of Fischerspooner with Gareth Pugh from V magazine:

Can't wait to see what the Art Parade (especially Assume Vivid Astro Focus) has in store for everyone this weekend!
