    QUEENS. Elana, Bella, Septembre, Asa and Kathleen 🙂 #wmcfw

    I have to admit that for the first time in a long time, I was actually really sad to see fashion week go 🙁 Even though I was exhausted by the end of it all; the fun times totally outweighed all of that, and now I have so many beautiful memories to tide me until next season! The last day was extra special as it was Elana’s 25th birthday, so after the shows we headed over to King Street to celebrate her champagne born day! I know I’ve said it over and over, but to all of you that I got to reconnect with, as well as meet for the first time; thank you, thank you for making this World MasterCard Fashion Week SS14 a beautiful one.

    More fun, more love, and more fashion from World MasterCard Fashion Week SS14! Day 3 and Day 5 were probably the most fun days for me this season. I enjoyed the shows (LOVED the Maison Matthew Gallagher  and Christopher Bates shows!), I literally laughed till my belly ached a few times, we were #shotbysony and of course the highlights of my day were hanging out with my blogger/fashionista peeps  new and old, during, and after the shows.

    Fun times with some of our favourite bloggers, media and fashionistas during World MasterCard Fashion Week ss14

    World MasterCard Fashion Week strutted into town with so much fabulousness that it swept us off of our stilettos; leaving us with a plethora of awesome memories, and seriously lusting after some of the pieces that we saw on the runway/studio!

    20131021_173235-1
    The volunteers were amazing this season!

    The weather was terrible this season, but that didn’t stop us from coming out to play and reconnecting with our favourite fashionistas! The tents were buzzing with fashion talk, the Ritz Carlton was serving some delicious macarons and apple cider, there lots of hugs and kisses from all the men and women connecting and reconnecting while they excitedly waited to see the shows, , did I mention that everyone was dressed so nicely?!  We also got to catch up with some of our favourite fashion blogger friends as well as make new ones! It was a fantastic day one!

    Ernest Alexander Spring/Summer 2014 Presentation for NYFW @ernestalexander @MBfashionweek

    I’ve got a soft spot for a well-dressed man (who doesn’t?) and so I’m always interested to know what’s going on in the men’s fashion world. And since Fashion Week just kicked off, I’m treated to sneak peeks of some of the best designers out there.

    SS14 ERNEST ALEXANDER NEW YORK 9/3/2013Photo credit: Dan Lecca

    The Ernest Alexander Spring/Summer 2014 Presentation was held this week in trendy Tribeca (side note: one of my fave NYC neighborhoods) where guests got to see this very exciting collection that takes inspiration from an “American gone abroad” and revisits founder and designer Ernest Sabine’s experience living in Venice and the midsummer nights he had in his youth.

    What does the collection include? Pretty much everything you want to see your handsome honey dressed in! Tailored pieces like double-breasted blazers, suits, outerwear, plus oh-so fine linen shorts, cotton shirts and the ultimate accessory: handsomely designed briefcases that feature camouflage prints and bold colors.

    Why I love this brand? Clean designs. Covetable colors. Out-of-the-box style.

    Ernest Sabine

    Founded in 2009, Ernest Alexander is a New York City-based menswear brand known for American made accessories and men’s tailored clothing. Ernest Alexander is sold through its NYC flagship store in SoHo and online at www.ernestalexander.com.
