Shopping Soho NYC – Getting Schooled!

DEAR FRIENDS & FOLLOWERS, ENTER TO WIN YOUR SUMMER SUNNIES FROM MADONNA & CO. RIGHT HERE

The snow finally melted and sun came out. What a great day to go shopping Soho NYC!! You never know what you will find.

Well, I found a fashion education at Madonna & Co in Soho!

When you walk into Madonna & Company your first feeling is homey. A very luxurious home, like the most awesome closet ever! There is so much to see, things you won’t see anywhere else. This is what they have to say…”It’s completely and uniquely about you. We figure you’re tired of seeing the same old, same old so we’ve put the thrill back in shopping.” and it’s true. It’s definitely not a shop for only the wealthy woman. It is for every woman who loves to have a unique, edgy, NYC kind of style. That’s ME! The shop is very inviting and the staff is super friendly. I absolutely recommend that you visit them. Allow yourself plenty of time to take it all in, don’t worry there are comfy seats if needed! Look for a special discount for you to use online and in store at the end of post!

With all of the talk of high – low priced shopping you need to shop Madonna & Co. I tend to style myself with at least one high item and one low item to keep it interesting!
At Madonna & Co you can shop everything from a vintage pair of Yves St Laurent booties to a $15 pair of sunnies! The absolute best part is that you will NOT see yourself coming and going on passerby’s or worse yet when you are out on the town! (I just hate when that happens.)

Mention this post for a 15% discount valid until March 31, 2014.Reader Discount Code: bb-march

Valentine’s Day is looming ahead of us.
Hey Dudes! Here is what your lover wants for Valentine’s Day! I had bunches of trouble keeping this list short but the extensive variety will certainly help you out! You WILL make someone happy with something from my exhaustive wish list. You can thank me later! 😉

The Stela 9 handbag is awesome! Not too big, not too small and purple! Perfecto!

I am so in love with this dress. It may be a bit pricey but just think of how fab your love would look in it! It’s worth every penny! <3 [caption id="attachment_2336" align="aligncenter" width="479"] Herve Leger

Ha, ha, amusing and functional! No extra calories here!

A real staple in every girl’s closet…anything Pamela Quinzi creates!

Show her how cutting edge you think she is! Buy a few in different colors to really make them look sharp! (get it, razor, sharp, cutting edge???!!)

How about a classic Jeffrey Campbell shoe in RED!?

Hubby calls me Ruby, that is a good enough reason to buy this for me! And your Valentine will drool over it too!

Every girl needs a STUD for Valentine’s Day!

Don’t forget flats! You wouldn’t want your Valentines feet to hurt!

I can not endorse this Nikon camera because I know nothing about it. I included it because it was pink and cute and I think maybe I might need a new camera. No real commitment from me on this one.

OMG what a combo! Edible CHOCOLATE shoes!

If money is an issue a sweet kiss will do! (maybe with a massage, everyday, for an undisclosed amount of time!) Go on, promise her some long term TLC

Speak the sweet words of tender love to her. For example; I FREAKIN love you! for starters. What girl could resist that sentiment?

A marriage proposal? Be sure to REALLY think this one through because once is enough! Especially if this is your dress!

Lastly, don’t forget to give a major shout out to all the singles in your life. Let them know they are loved!

Have you met Pamela Quinzi yet? During Fall 2013 Fashion Week I had the pleasure of attending fashion designer, Pamela Quinzi’s Kilami Collection Show. I was thrilled, being such a shoe fanatic, as you know! I planned everything just perfectly to be there on time and not miss a single minute of it. My husband and I sat on the rooftop of the Empire Hotel, sipping cocktails and snacking on Hors d’oeuvres. There was a pretty good crowd there and we wondered where they could possibly have a runway in that space. The sun began to fall behind the tall buildings and looked quite beautiful. We sipped and snacked some more while we enjoyed watching the sun set over NYC. It started to get dark and chilly and my hubby started to question if we were in the right place. That caused a lot of anxiety for me so I adamantly denied that we could possibly be in the wrong place! Hmmph!

Well, it got later and darker and chillier. We decided to go in quick to use the restroom and get back outside promptly as not to miss any part of the show. Naturally my hubby was out of the bathroom quicker than I. When I came out it was crowded and DJ Chopps was filling the rooftop with sound! My hubby started dragging me to the other side of the rooftop with me greatly resisting. Well, who the hell knew there was another side to this lovely rooftop venue, not me, not at all! As we got closer we could see cameras flashing all over the place. I had trouble hearing him and def couldn’t see anything, (I’m 😉 short) as the crowd began to disperse we could see Pamela and all of the beautifully clad models striking their final poses. We had apparently crashed someone else’s party on the other side of the roof and missed Pamela’s show! Well, as you can imagine I was devastated! And felt so damn stupid! Akin to the disappointment Sally and Linus experienced after waiting for the great pumpkin! As you can imagine I cried and then laughed, eventually. But this is not where my story ends, it is just the beginning! The next morning a message popped up on FB and yes, it was Pamela Quinzi on the other side! She invited me to view her beautiful line in her studio!

Pamela told me that she always knew that she was born to be a fashion designer. She designs from her fantasies, music, nature, movies, colors, and textures. In other words she designs from her heart! Her work is so detailed and beautifully put together that you instantly want the entire collection! Inventing new creations is her passion, her life. She lives and breathes Kilame She is always on, 24/7! When and wherever she gets inspired she soaks it in and puts it out in magical designs. She is a master at designing very detailed embroidery. She uses it on shoes, booties, sneakers, dresses and even headbands! All of her work is original and one of a kind. Each piece of footwear is original, they don’t match but rather compliment each other. This concept won me over for life! As Stacy London would say, it doesn’t have to match it just has to go!

When asked who she would love to style she said Lady Gaga Well, of course, who else! (You hear that Gaga! Give Pamela Quinzi a jingle!)

I was so impressed with everything about her. I found out more about Pamela and that she designed more than shoes. There was an intimate bunch of us there, trying on all of the shoes, booties, dresses and accessories! (and sipping Italian wine!) She is a great talent and a happy go lucky person. Once you meet her you believe that she is truly the Cinderella of New York!

Golden Globes 2014 Red Carpet

My picks this year start with a few really beautiful ball gowns! These ladies were really elegant, like a princess! With their every move, their dresses danced.

Next I went for sexy fishtail looks. These ladies, dressed as lovely mermaids, really made a splash on the Golden Globes 2014 Red Carpet. (get it, mermaid, splash, lol)

My last two picks were the most original designs I saw at the Golden Globes. These two designs have the power to leave a lasting impression. I love to get inspired by a designer being able to bring the dress to a new level. They won’t be soon forgotten. 😉

Were any of these your favorite? Did you have a different pick for the Golden Globes 2014~Red Carpet best dressed? Let me know, I’d love to hear your interpretation.
