Fashion Shoot: Neon Planet for Veux magazine

About a month ago, my former public relations co-intern and NY fashion blogger (A Hit from Sarah), Sarah texted me at 12:30am asking if I could last minute assist her for a top secret fashion shoot out in Islip, New York. I said "why not?!" It's Sunday, and I have nothing to do. I was up at 5am, at Columbus Circle at 8am and fell asleep on the way there. The photo shoot took place at magical residential area with a team of 10 up and coming über fashionistas like Jillian Mercado and Brian McGuffog. Honestly, I really didn't do much, but eat because the family that hosted the  space served an incredible vegan buffet and freeze to death because I never wear warm leggings. I pretty much packed the clothes, made sure Sarah didn't pass out since she was no sleep after working the night shift at The Clock at the MOMA and yey or nay'ed some of the looks. Finally, the editorial is out and can be seen on the closing pages of Canadian VEUX magazine's 10th issue ALCHEMY as "Neon Planet". Therefore, I can now post my backstage photos. Enjoy!

I first noticed the book clutch when Nicaragua designer, Estefania Lacayo for ESTEFAN showcased them at Nicaragua Diseña 2012 in October. The only books I have are fashion or public relations related - and this clutch would be a perfect addition to both my book and handbag collection. Quirky celebs like Michelle Williams and Natalie Portman have been carrying Olympia Le-Tan book clutches at red carpets but they are way out of my budget. Like seriously? 1,200 euros for an empty book which I can DIY? That's just cray. Therefore, I have found 4 different prices for you! ;) Happy Book Clutch Shopping!

Get the Book Clutch!

Super Splurge with Olympia Le Tan 1,200 euros

Steal with Estefan $60

On a Budget with Asos $43.85

perhaps like how bulls are turned on by red...i am turned on by pink?

therefore, here are just a few more PINK items that should be IN my closet.

A scent from the botanical gardens of Balenciaga Paris, inspired by the woman who is beautiful but dangerous. An enchanting fragrance composed of a green accord twisted by an exhilarating note of juvenile freshness.

Double Take: Street Style: NYFW Day 5

some ladies deserve to be photographed several times from different angles - or in my case, i HAD to move around fast because of the photogs blocking my view with their awesome fast cameras.

these are the last images of my day at Lincoln Center for Day 5 Fashion Week NY / Mercedes Benz 2013
