Next few days, shopping and Venexiana. We got into backstage of The Salon where they were prepping for the show, offered our help, and I felt the rush of production. A lot of front house preparation and only a few minutes to do it. Attendees came into the venue and were seated quickly.

Models came down the runway in black and white sequined evening gowns, then slowly showed some color near the middle of the show. Full of glamour, makeup and hair, white, and a rock soundtrack.

Second last show of the day was Vivienne Tam. It started out with an HP collaboration commercial, then a male and female model walking down. A video of the runway played on the big screen as each model walked. The show was absolutely stunning: light pinks and blues, with contrasting black butterflies on nearly every piece. The music was soft and like a French love story–I couldn’t understand anything, but that’s the beauty of music.

Last show of the night was off-site at The Gallery and I have yet to figure out what the line was called. Free self tanner, and half naked men, you would wonder if there was anymore you could ask for. However, to be honest the show was not good at all. The male swimwear looked like it was from 1992 and the girls had things popping out that shouldn’t have been–and the colors didn’t go together. I think in all there were about 28 looks and the show only lasted about 12 minutes. It was very confusing. So we ended the night at a restaurant in the Village. I love New York.

Purse + boots + all-in-one = many happy girls with their hands free to dance the night away. We have Elizabeth Anne Shoes to thank for the astutely named Purse `n Boots.
