Fall Fashion Week adventures, Day 2!

Today started out FANTASTIC! I went to the Ruffian Fashion Show and backstage to Porter Grey-will post pictures soon! Spent most of the day with my Fashion Week Family and saw plenty of fashion royalty…here are some snaps from my day…..

Kellen Lutz (of Twilight) leaving Lacoste. This guy is sooo nice I always think he must have some Canadian roots! Seriously one of the nicest male celebrities I have ever met.

Ladies leaving the Jill Stuart Show

Nicki Reed

Always a smile on Kelly Bensimon of Real Housewives of New York

Olivia Palermo-Love her or hate her…this girl has amazing style and is simply gorgeous!

Headed downtown to the Prabal Gurung fashion show.

One of the first people I see, Bill Cunningham! Bill basically started the street fashion photography movement. He is a rockstar in my eyes.

Joe Zee, another rad guy. I mean, what 44-year-old can pull off this look besides him!? Love it!

Hal Rubenstein, Fashion Director of InStyle. I like this quote from his biography on The Huffington Post, “Hal was born in New York and has never seen any reason to live anywhere else.” How true!

Derek Blasberg (Editor at large of Harper’s Bazaar) interviewing Elettra Wiedemann (model and daughter of Isabella Rossellini)

Ken Downing, Fashion Director at Neiman Marcus.

Some of the more ‘colorful crowd’

Mickey Boardman + Kim Hastreiter of Paper Magazine

Lynn Yaeger, Vogue contributor.

Socialite, Michelle Harper

And last of all another fabulous Canadian, Stylist Brad Goreski!

Next up was the VPL fashion show! Pictures are poor, as the place was packed and we arrived late. After a few unsuccessful snaps, I put my camera away and simply enjoyed the show!

Backstage with the designer, Victoria Barlett.

Headed back to Lincoln Center to see the star-studded Herve Leger by Max Azria letting out.

Our beautiful Canadian Coco Rocha

Kristin Chenoweth-always so sweet!

One of my favorite pictures of the weekend….fighting with the papps to get to Camila Alves (Brazilian model).

Torrey Devito of Pretty Little Liars and Vampire Diaries.

DJ Harley Viera Newton (doesn’t she just have the coolest name!?)

One of my favorite fashion bloggers, Hanneli.

Another one of my favorite shots of the weekend. Poppy Montgomery (actress on Unforgettable)…who was going into her FIRST fashion show ever. What a great first show!

Little superstar Nina Dobrev (Raised in Canada!) of The Vampire Diaries.

And another cool cool man, Designer Max Azria. He must be one of the hardest working people in fashion, with 6 clothing collections!!!…not to mention 6 children!!! Where does he find the time and energy…!?

Christmas in Japantown

This year to keep with our Christmas tradition we got out-of-town and stayed at yet another beautiful Joie de Vivre boutique hotel.  The modern anime themed Hotel Tomo located in Japantown, San Francisco looked like something the boys would get a kick out of.  We drove in Christmas day, explored Japantown, dined on udon, tempura and sushi and then went back to the hotel to build Noah’s (purely coincidental) Ninjago Lego’s.

How fun is this disposable camera?  Jenn picked this up for my birthday and I know, I know, we weren’t in Chinatown but still…fun right?  Some of the fortunes were just too perfect!

What makes us smile – east coast winter edition

Just when you thought baby clothes couldn’t get any cuter….Harajuku mini at Target has arrived…cutest baby clothes ever! I am loving the mishmash of textures, prints and colors.

Heading to the gym has never been my favorite pastime…but now 45 minutes of uninterrupted “ME” time is high on the list of things that make me smile! Nothing like a spin class to clear your mind, get motivated and lose those last 5 pounds.

I love waking up to a foggy foggy morning in New York. Some mornings it is so thick you could eat it with a spoon. Mornings like this I love to sit by the window with my morning coffee…but that lasts about 5 minutes before ‘someone’ needs my attention.  This morning I was able to run out and snap a few pictures just before the fog began to lift.

Power Stance 2011!

“A Power Stance can be used for many things. Well, actually, no. It’s used for one thing, and that is to look awesome to everyone else around you by simply making a pose.

There is more than one type of Power Stance, but all are acceptable if you wish to get girls, scare people or simply make the whole experience of being a paparazzi that little bit better…”

cracked.com

Resting….

and UP!

Being vertically challenged, this is the power stance we most commonly used.

This planking stance however was not found to be very popular among the paparazzi…well, at Lincoln Center anyways.

A possible sneak attack power stance???

Ah yes, this guy!  His bag was full of various power stances…

We like to call this ‘On bended knee’

Dave, you’re so cool, seriously.  You deserve a power stance named after you.  From here on in this stance will be called ….the Dave stance.
