    ASTONISH Mag Launch & Phuong My Fashion Show

    Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week officially came to a close Thursday, and during its week reign on NYC, the city was abuzz with tons of shows of events associated with MBFW.

    The ASTONISH Magazine Launch & Phuong My Fashion Show was one such event I attended, held at The Gansevoort Park Ave.  It started off with a fashion show by Phuong My showcasing 25 elegant, structural and inimitable ready-to-wear women’s looks followed by 10 couture looks that showed off her mastery of manipulating shapes.

    Roni Boutique for Labor Day Weekend

    With about a month until Labor Day, it’s time to start thinking about what you’ll be wearing for one of the most fun weekends of the summer…

     

    If you’re looking for the perfect outfit—think celebrity-level stylish—I’d definitely suggest checking out Roni, a trendy clothing line and boutique with locations in Soho, Nolita, and West Village, which features exclusive designs from the Roni label itself as well as unique designers you won’t find anywhere else including Alexia Admor, Carolina Amato, LAMB, Laila Azhar, and LaRok, and many others.

     

    Roni’s styles have been worn by celebrities like, Kelly Ripa, Brooke Shields, Aisha Taylor and more.  Check out some photos below!

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Do you still follow the rule “no white after Labor Day”? I feel like if you want to rock it, go for it.  In Miami (where I’m from) no one bats an eye about a little post-LD white. 🙂

     

    The great thing is you won’t break the bank with styles like these because everything—rompers, dresses, jackets—at Roni is priced between $100 and $500.

    Miss Jackson Swimwear & HeyDoYou Presents… Lovelorn Assassin

     

    I am so BEYOND excited to invite all of our HeyDoYou readers to this highly anticipated event… presented by us!!! Lisa Jackson, creator and designer of Miss Jackson Swimwear and myself have teamed up for some time now to build this extremely phenomenal brand!

    My initial interest stemmed from my passion for past collections, then after hanging out with Miss Jackson herself, teaming up only seemed to make sense! The cuts, materials and unique edge that defines this brand are untouched in the North American market, many have tried to duplicate but we all know… there is NOTHING like an original!

    I’m so excited for you all to come out to the sneek preview of Miss Jackson Swimwear’s 2012 resort collection entitled, Lovelorn Assassin. Check out the preview (above) and details below, see you all there!!! #xo

    Virtual French Excellence Week

    Sometimes I think the French know something about life that we don’t.  French toast, french kiss, french manicures… and then there’s more!  Remember the last season when Carrie goes with Petrovsky to Paris but it’s nothing but dog poo on Manolos and heartache.  Ouch… Places and things, we always attach fantasy and assumptions about them. Is that a good thing? I guess – but out of my travels, I have this to say – a place is just a place. If you have globe trotted as much as I have, you can attest to what I am saying. The most important thing is where your friends and those you love are.  Don’t let geography dictate how you dress, how you think or your ability to fall in love.  There are unstylish people in New York, heart breaks in Paris, lackluster spirits Shanghai and dream crushers in Toronto.  When you know who you are, define your style and live your passion – trust me, somethings do translate!
