Lauren Santo Domingo

In honor of one of my favorite socialites shacking up with her husband in one of my favorite parts of the city I may as well dedicate a post to her. Lauren Santo Domingo formerly Lauren Davis married Columbian billionaire Andres Santo Domingo a couple years ago. It was the Society Wedding of the Century she had a custom Olivier Theyskens for Nina Ricci gown commisioned and had an entire issue of American Vogue dedicated as she was a contributing editor. Also, she is a girl about town with impeccable style who chooses daring looks rather than playing it safe. Congrats Lauren on the new townhouse in Gramercy Park mind if I crash after a long night at Rose Bar?

Editorial of the Day: Shalom Harlow

Hands down foreign magazines have America beat on editorials.

Balmain: My Continued Disdain

I have publicly expressed my disdain for Balmain's recent collections in the past, but that is only because it's turned into the "it" brand, which to me takes away the exclusivity and the allure of the clothes. I can tell you though just because I hate it, I still do appreciate the clothes, mainly this jacket seen above.

Alex Wang: Resort 2010

As many of you might know designers have started diffusing their lines thus more and more labels are doing pre-fall, resort, and cruise lines. I personally think resort and cruise is a waste of time do to the fact that who in this day and age has the money to cruise and resort. Seeing as I have no choice but to resort to these collections until spring debuts at Bryant Park this fall it will have to suffice. Above is some of my favorite looks from this Resort Collection, I really adore was Alex is doing with knits F/W 08 was a play on hobo-chic, Pre-Fall 09 is a play on chainmail, and now Resort 10 reminds me of lattice fencing. Even if I do buy some of these pieces I dont know what resort I will wear them to. I guess I will just have to resort to debuting them around Manhattan if I ever managed to get up before 7 pm.

CFDA Awards 2009: Who's Hot and Who is definitely not.

Definitely Not.

(As much as I am a fan of both these fine ladies, their ensembles were completely ruined by their shoes.)

Hot.

No further explanation is needed thus concluding this entry.

It's on with Alexa Chung

Alexa Chung is by far one of my favorite style icons of today frequently written up on best-dressed lists for her quirky-boyish-messy style. Although deemed an 'It' Girl she has been quoted saying “there’s not much to being an It girl. It’s really quite a depressing title to hold”. If you are still unaware of who she is well you're about to find out because she is about to blow up with her new show 'It's on with Alexa Chung' on MTV. It's the best thing to happen to MTV since well forever. Although Alexa has been on the small screen for quite sometime across the pond this is her first appearance on the small screen in the US. Her show is a mix of live-music, guest hosts, and a variety of different segments. You should definitely check out her daytime show by checking your local listings for show times. Until then you should look for some inspiration from her.

Avenue on 10th Avenue: Beatrice Edtion

So last night like all my nights began after midnight. New York City has been quite a lonely place ever since The Beatrice Inn was shuttered by the police, I literally feel at times I am wandering the streets with no place to go. Although they have found substitute venues to house the inhabitants of the Beatrice but unfortunately I have been out of town when these gatherings happened. Luckily, though last night they had a party and recently opened club Avenue although an unlikely space because its nothing like Beatrice it sufficed. Everyone was there, the usual crowd it was like Beatrice was back. But it still wasnt the same the space is too big regardless I had a nice time seeing those faces I enjoy seeing so until the original West 12th and West 4th address reopens it will have to do.
