Spring in the valley, so pretty with …aaaaaaahhhhhhh choooooo…all its blooms! You valley dwelling folk understand! As much as we love the trees and the fruit they bear, we hate what it does for our allergies. This is some of the new life I noticed in our yard this week…
Happy, smiling faces blooming back here too!
Jenn’s not the only one who got backstage to a fashion show this February! Allyn Scott Youth and Community Center held their 2nd Annual Prom Expo and Fashion Show on the 25th. Students from 7 local high schools braved the runway to raise money for ASYCC programs. Don’t you love when fashion and goodwill team up?
A HUGE thanks to these businesses…

My hardworking pal Esperanza Arellano, President of the Allyn Scott Youth & Community Center Board of Directors and I, enjoying ourselves a little too much!
For some of the girls who finished up quickly from hair and makeup, we went outside for a few shots. Time only allowed for 3 of the girls but I’m so glad we did! I’ll have to admit this was one of my favorite moments of the night.
Shooting street fashion is loads of fun and I wish I had dedicated more time to it this year. Nonetheless here are a few snaps from the fashion forward and fashion backward. Once again, we will let you decide what trends you love and hate.

The Anna Wintour mask-hmmm?
I will end my fashion week adventures with a great sign I saw in the subway headed home….ha ha..makes me smile!
It is amazing how fast things can change in the modeling industry. One year you are the girl next door American model Karlie Kloss walking in NYFW…the next, a Supermodel and Victoria Secret model, Karlie Kloss, who is too huge to walk in NYFW! Male model favorite Sean O’Pry mentioned that this may be his last year walking runway, as he is getting too old (he is only 22!). Our blog posts about models are always our most popular posts (and don’t worry folks…we DON’T know WHO you are or where you are come from…so creep on our site and creep often!). Here are some of my favorite models from this season’s fashion week.
Candice Swanepoel ranked #18 by Models.com, best know for Victoria’s Secret fame.

I wish I had another blog of the male hotties from Fashion Week….but unfortunately I didn’t see any! I guess just the timing of the shows–and the days I attended didn’t work out. Too bad. So let me just add a photo of my favorite male model of all time….
My third and final day at NY Fashion Week consisted of 2 big shows…Tracy Reese and Diane Von Furstenberg. I always love a Diane show, it always brings out a variety of interesting people.
And so…back to regular life…back to trips to the park and drinking juicy juice….and just 6 months to convince one (or more) sisters to come for September Fashion Week!!
Beautiful people leaving Tracy Reese:
TV Personality Louise Roe-I just had to show her cute little outfit!
Kate Mara: So I have to admit, I had no idea who this “Kate” was and had to google her once I got home. Interestingly she is from Bedford, NY–just 30 mins away from where we live. Her Great grandfather was the founder of the NY Giants, which explains why people were commenting to her about the Giants winning the superbowl. Also…her sister is much talked about Rooney Mara-of Dragon Tattoo, who knew!?
Canadian Actress Shenae Grimes (of 90210)…she had fans (even crying fans?!) waiting for her. Weird, no?
Nikki Reed…again
Model Selita Ebanks and boyfriend Terrence J (host of BET’s 106+Park). Cutest couple!!!
Lovely to see the beautiful socialite Tinsley Mortimer again-heading into Custo Barcelona.
Random sighting…Sandra Bernhart
Former SuperModel Beverly Johnson.
More beautiful people attending the Diane Von Furstenberg Show.
Editor in Chief of American Vogue, Anna Wintour.
The beautiful Barbara Walters-she is seriously so rad…I can’t even explain!
Actress Molly Sims, rockin the pregnant glow!
Oscar DeLaRenta
Diane Sawyer
Making grey hair look good, Bravo’s Andy Cohen
Designer/stylist Rachel Zoe and her husband TV personality Rodger Berman. Their baby is the same age as Dre, so Rodger and I had a little chat about our dear sweet babies…how they are crawling and getting into absolutely everything! Yes, hoping for a playdate soon;)
Editor of Marie Claire Joanna Coles, recently seen on Project Runway All Stars as the designer’s mentor.
Marie Claire Fashion Director and Project Runway judge, Nina Garcia.
The beautiful Coco Rocha…what show didn’t she attend!?
Fashion Blogger Bryan Boy.
And last of all, one of my favorite fashion bloggers (and total gentleman) Karl-Edwin Guerre. This guy is one cool cat.
