Herve Leger and Bibhu Mohapatra

The Herve Lerger show by Maz Azria show was interesting, the colors were more spring than some of the other collections showed (sand, ivory, nude, burnt orange, and black) but featured hash compliments by utilizing lots of metal accents and leather panels. There were more separates this year in the non-bandage fabrics (wool looking pants, a fur looking jacket, etc.)

After Herve, I stepped out for a quick glass of wine in the lobby and then went into Bibhu Mohapatra only to find out they were serving wine in the presentation room as well! You win some, you lose some ;)

Bibhu Mohapatra put together an amazing collection- the items, the accessories, the positioning, all amazing. There was even a fog maker in the room which added to the mystery but did make flash photography a little difficult. Lucky for me the room was well lit! After making the rounds I made an immediate showroom appointment and left impressed.

From there I sent the rest of he afternoon shopping and found a fabulous pair of leggings which I am wearing now. I missed J Mendel unfortunately (why all the cabs are off duty during rush hour is beyond me...) and am enjoying a cocktail before running to Chelsea for off sight shows this evening. First: Boy Meets Girl where I will have to get the sitch from Sammie Sweatheart and then off to Jill Zarin's collection all before the Boy Meets Girl after party.

Catch you later, xoxo

Hair or nails? Decisions, decisions...

I'm here at Lincoln Center, chilling out by the TRESemme lounge pondering if I should get my hair done or if a new manicure is in order from Essie. Thankfully I had a fresh coat put on at the Derek Fabulous lounge earlier in the week and it hasn't turned offensive yet.

I have made the fashionable decision to hold off on Bibhu Mohapatra which is in the presentation box until after Herve Lerger. Herve starts at 2pm, so by 2:45pm I should be out and ready to run into Bibhu which goes on until 3:30. Fashion Week strategies must be established...ps painted suit guy just walked right by me, aimlessly of course...today's choice? A once-white suit painted in colors which would be accentuated under a black-light.
