Okay…So, while I can appreciate the sport and athleticism…I’m just not a huge fan of watching sports (ok! ok!….I’m sorry!). Apparently, I’m not the only one-see the video at the end! However, being in New York, it’s almost a sin not to attend a Knicks, Mets or Yankee’s game. So here we go….
Knicks vs Nets….and no….Jay Z did not show up. Bummer. However, the nachos were great and I learned that Stoudemire is the man.
A few seasons ago I snapped a pic of a total cutie and posted it along with the rest of my Fashion Week pictures on Facebook. I was stunned to get comments and find out that he was Taylor Fuchs, from lil’ ol’ Saskatchewan…White City, in fact…about 2 hours from where I grew up. If you’re from a small town…you understand that it is not often that someone from your area makes it into the international modelling world-and its pretty exciting when someone does. I’ve kept my eye out for Taylor ever since….and this year I caught him coming out of the Micheal Kors Fashion Show. Besides being totally smokin’ he was charming, humble and very sweet. Go Saskatchewan!
Here are a few others that make the heart pound a little harder;)
Sean O’Pry. I think many will agree that he is one of the top male models in the industry right now. If he isn’t opening Perry Ellis at NY Fashion Week than he is gracing the massive posters at your local H&M, as well as doing campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana, Marc Jacobs,Calvin Klein…the list goes on. Besides all of this…he is one of my favorites. Year after year he is sweet, talkative and a total gentleman, in fact…he really needs to meet my sister! 😉 Swoon!
Another Canadian! Marcel Castenmiller also walked in the Michael Kors Show. Known for his androgynous look he’s been featured in Kenzo, Theory and Gucci eyewear…just to name a few. Nice work Edmonton!
The German born Lenz Von Johnston…He is usually the most goofy and interactive of the bunch…this year he was pretty quiet….quiet perhaps, but I love his look.
Max Rogers…watch for him in the Tommy Hilfiger Tailgating ad campaign
Models goofing off outside of the Marc Jacobs Show.
…and by the way?! Is this not the funnest blog I’ve done so far or what?! Which one is YOUR favorite..?
What a ride! Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week here in NYC has come to a close. We’re both a little happy (yeah! sleep!) and a little sad (c’mon, its fashion week!). Here’s a glimpse of what the new location, Lincoln Center looked like. Please stay tuned…we have SOOOO much more to show you!
Hold up! Who are they? Where have I seen them before? Who are they signed with? Oh wait, those aren’t celebs…just us…hahaha…
Karlie Kloss taking time for her admirers.
It has been a while since I have stalked the celebs, so I went to Manhattan to check out the 38th annual Fifi Awards. The Fifi awards are the Oscar’s of the fragrance industry…and yes, it may sound strange….like seriously? Perfume awards? However, the fragrance industry is worth over 20 billion dollars in just the United States alone! And besides….New Yorkers need another excuse to dress up, look fabulous and walk the red carpet!

Along my travels I tend to find things that bring a smile to my face. Maybe its the smiley face I see in my cappuccino foam or something random or shocking I’ve seen in the streets of New York….I’ve learnt to never leave the house without some type of camera on me (yay for phone cams). Here’s a few that made my week:
I love it when people leave notes in their library books (intentionally or unintentionally). I’ve come across letters, sticky notes, post secret type confessions…..One time a person had a book list…and it had the exact 3 other novels I was looking for too!
We were down at Seaport Village in Manhattan….and look at what I saw!!
Seriously…Regina!? Random.
The campus here is stunning…hundreds of flowers, trees and huge lawns. Most of the flowers and trees are labeled…I guess someone on the research campus has a sense of humor….tee hee.
Every time I look at my plant I smile. (If you know my dad you will understand why the next part is funny) When I bought my aloe vera plant my dad said, “Okay…now every morning you have to say, ‘allo vera! allo!'”
