He Loves Me...

... He Loves Me Not. Betsey Johnson Fall 2011 NYFW at Lincoln Center on Feb. 14th, Valentine's Day


By far my favorite Betsey show everrrrrrr. and not just cuz i got to hang out with Gala Darling backstage (!) and walk the second half of the show, Pink Patch (!!!). but just cuz the clothes were soo totally on point, so totally me (harem pants, crazy mesh, studs & fur)



Everything from her hilarious make-up lessons at work, listening to her make sure we have enough (cases and cases) of champagne backstage, to watching her dance to 'short-dick man' with Pat Fields in the show finale, only make me love Betsey the lady & the brand all the more. as much as I bitch about work... I'm so lucky she's my boss!






Most of my pics are from Pink Patch (her new lower priced, diffusion line) since that's where I had to spend the majority of time backstage, but you can see the entire collection (Black Tag & Pink Patch) here or watch the livestream w/ Teen Vogue's Andrew Bevan backstage here.

Chictopia10 Social Influence Summit

I tweeted for Wikifashion during the Chictopia10 Summit but now I'm finally blogging about it! It was great -albeit the stop & go shuffle with the many furniture rearrangements... but really, such a cool (and a little surreal at first!) experience to meet other bloggers in real life.
There were insightful discussions and panels presented on the future of blogging, bloggers working with companies, and social media in general. It was really interesting for me too, since I felt like I was sort of on both sides of the fence (1. with this blog, and 2. my position as work covering social media/web marketing for Betsey Johnson)

These male models for JCheikh were quite a hit ;) We got to see 5 great presentations by emerging designers at the end of the conference. My favorite was probably the the 66Sick girls jewelry line -so subtley edgy yet sophisticated, and see those harnesses they're wearing?? ::drool::

I was only briefly at the afterparty and missed all photo ops =( I really enjoyed the conference though! It was a great opportunity and I'm glad I got to attend. I learned a lot & met a bunch of great people and fellow bloggers, so thanks Chictopia!
