Neon and Skyscrapers

I just wanted to re-post this since I'm wearing this bra today and every time I wear it a girl will sort of catch my attention and quietly ask me where I got it... 

These are some seriously high, seriously amazing shoes. I'll let the pictures do the talking...

Crazy, right?

Some of you may remember that I was on the search for a neon bra a-la the always amazing Miss Gwen Stefani. (Click here if you're drawing a blank) Well I finally found one at Victoria's Secret! Yippee!!

The only problem was that it wasn't exactly what I was looking for so I had to do some serious altering. 

I wanted the sides to be see-through lace and this bra wasn't. I cut out the lining as you see here...

There was also a pornographic amount of padding in the bra that I had to cut out...

WOAH!

I made the foam padding into a queen size mattress for my guest room. ;)

Gwen Stefani for Charity

Fashionable pop star GWEN STEFANI has designed and autographed a special baby buggy to help raise money for charity and spread awareness about World AIDS Day.

The singer and mother-of-two has teamed up with baby product firm Bugaboo to customise two of their Cameleon strollers, decorating hers with a graffiti-style floral fabric from her L.A.M.B. clothing collection, complete with leather trim on the canopy and storage basket and accessorised with pyramid studs.

Stefani is keeping one to use for her youngest son Zuma, while the other has been put up for auction on eBay.com.

The online sale began on Wednesday (01Dec10) - recognised as World AIDS Day - and fans will have the opportunity to bid on the buggy until Sunday (05Dec10).
All profits will benefit The Global Fund, an organisation which aims to eliminate mother-to-child HIV transmission in Africa by 2015, reports People.com.

Friends and Fashion Week... Fin

Wednesday was my day off from shows so you know what that means...
S H O P P I N G ! !

I got a bunch of amazing stuff but most importantly- THE SHOES!

These Miu Miu's are sweet and sexy! Yes please.

And these? These Alexander Wang booties are ridiculous. They are so high and uncomfortable but SO good...

I need to stress the height here

I mean, seriously. Yikes.

I'm in love. Shoe love is a polygamist love... But it's so good.


On to Thursday which was was the day of my last show. The L.A.M.B. show!
It was so fun and they were really good to me with the seating assignment. Betsey's people shoved me in the 8th row against the wall like a red headed step child, and you know what happened at bebe.
We were second row behind Debbie Harry and Tom and Tony from No Doubt. So cool.

And speaking of cool- look at this! No wait, listen first cause it sounds cooler than it looks.
My picture is on Vogue.com in the "front row" section of their runway coverage! I'm there along with some seriously cool celebs which in turn, made me feel pretty cool myself. Don't tell anyone that I'm really not, I wanna see how long I can fool them ;)

Now am I the only one, or does it look like I sniffed a fart?
I wish the girl that took this told me who she was. I would have backed up, pulled out an oil blotter, and smiled.
Here's my do-over. Happy me.

Anyway, the show itself was so fun and SO Gwen. Prints prints everywhere. I love how she designs things that she wants to wear herself. It comes across as totally her and 100% genuine.
A mix of dance music and classic reggae played loudly while Gavin and the boys from No Doubt bobbed their heads to the beat. It was such a cool scene, just like the lady of the hour herself.

Here are some of my favorite looks from the show

And Gwen herself. Such a cutie!

Gwen is truly amazing and sweet and talented and I am really honored to get to work with her. I'm so proud of her success in design and music and her family. It's really great to be a part of it, even if it's a teeny tiny part. I'm really lucky and I'll never forget this amazing time in my life.


After the show? The after party!

Now for my stalkerazzi photos of the night...

Before the show:

What's Up, Bra...?

Ok so I've been completely obsessed with fluorescent lace bras ever since I saw Gwen Stefani rocking the shit out of them. She's been wearing them almost every time I see her and I love how bright they are.

Now that I think about it, Gwen is sort of famous for showing her bras right? Remember girls studding their bra straps in the 90's to be like Gwen?? Totally.

Well, after looking for the past year (I do not exaggerate) without finding anything nearly bright enough I finally got the nerve to just ask her what brand of bra her brights were. I sent her an email and to my excitement, she answered right away! Her answer...? She wears Deborah Marquit's fluorescent lace bras. Yay!

I'm still on a mission to find a cheaper version but I have yet to find one. These look so great under all the sheer tops I'm seeing for Spring. I'll definitely keep you posted if I find anything half as fabulous as these!

L.A.M.B. Afterparty

After an awesome L.A.M.B. show it was time to party! A quick trip back to the apartment and an outfit change later, it was back to Milk Studios for a cocktail party to honor Gwen and her successful collection.

We were there for about half an hour when she showed up and was instantly mobbed by photogs and well-wishers. Fellow celebs included Kelly Osbourne (who looked AMAZING and so teeny tiny) and Kelly Bensimon.

Gwen looked drop dead as usual and was so sweet despite all the commotion around her. I tried to stay back and let everyone get their time with her. You guys would die laughing if someone took a picture of me at one point. I was standing next to Gwen talking to her business partner about the line when Kelly Osbourne showed up. Well, these two photographers wanted to get good pics (one is the picture below) so they squeezed between Gwen and I squishing me up against the couch I was leaning on. It was really funny and if I took myself too seriously I would have been pissed.

ANYWAY- Gwen then called me over to where she was, which just tells you how unbelievably sweet she is. A party full of people and she still took time to talk and hang out for a few minutes.

I finally got a semi decent photo with her after working with her for over 2 years. haha

YAY!

I wore a Robbi and Nikki top with silk shorts and sweater tights and of course, my L.A.M.B heels.

NWFW So Far...

I'm having so much fun in New York and I'm so glad I came! I don't want to miss another Fashion Week ever again!

My first day here I went to the L.A.M.B. show and it was AMAZING! I am so excited to have been a part of it. The line looked so good and Gwen and her team were all very excited about how it turned out.

A few of my favorite looks...

And I absolutely LOVE these boots we did. So hot!

My camera died right before the show started so I don't have the detailed shoe photos I wanted to get. I took some with my phone and will upload them when I'm home again.

NY Post-

"Equal parts tomboy, Brit punk, military and glam, Stefani's fall collection was everything we've come to expect from her. There was enough leather to drive PETA positively mad, popping up everywhere from chic black bubble short shorts (which she wore paired with a fitted leather jacket with shoulder pads to take her bow) to high waisted skinny black stretch pants and leggings. Other highlights included "punker pants" -- slouchy and boyish bottoms that beg to be paired with a cropped jacket, white tank and chains -- that came in soft camouflage print silk and over dyed denim, a long leopard calfskin jacket with asymmetrical button closure and loads of military inspired jackets and hoodies."

I wore a Theory sweater dress and super high L.A.M.B. heels.
