Empower Yourself With Empower

Ok I was a huge fan of Bravo's Workout! I loved seeing each episode and learning about how to make a gym super successful. In addition, I loved picking up tips and wished that Jackie was my trainer or any one of the people that were there at the gym. But I don't have to go all the way to Robertson Ave in LA, I can go to Greg Rothman's Empower Fitness Studios which is a gym in the West Village. Definately take the time to visit the site and you may want to book an appointment with him or his trainers OR you may want to be apart of his group fitness courses as well. Either way, the holiday season is coming up and we all want to look fabulous!

Day to Day Activities Can be Fashionable, Healthy & Socially Conscious Too

Whether you think about it or not, everything is about making a statement. We wear so many things that say a lot about who we are, what we do and what we are for or against. Recently, I received information about a campaign that I just had to share on this site! We all love Edun, whose not a fan of Bono and the thought that he supports African women who are interested in running their own businesses.

In addition, to Edun there is an additional company called Airforce Nutrisoda which makes an amazing product that has health benefits, fun packaging and oh yes they are conscious as well. As a little background, these colorful sodas come in 7 different flavors that have nutrients and vitamins - one of them, is even specifically made for your skin (I am so all about trying this one because in our business, who doesn't need fabulous skin?). This Minneapolis based beverage isn't just about promoting positive health, they understand that we do love to have fun and party - this drink mixes well with alcohol as well, once again I am definately interested in this aspect.






Beyond Airforce Nutrisoda's, tasty beverages they teamed up with Edun on the campaign, Socially Conscious. This initiative involves the purchase of the above shirt, which was created by Edun and is sold at Airforce Nutrisoda. 100% of the proceeds go to Socially Conscious which is connected to Dress For Success.

Dress for Success is an amazing organization that dresses women for their interviews and also lifts self esteem through programs and training. We all know how hard it is to get out there and get a job, learn the lingo and more and it's awesome that there is a program for those that need assistance in this endeavour.

So the next time you run out to do errands, make sure you visit Airforce Nutrisoda to check out the yummie beverages, purchase this great shirt and to support women all over the world to bridge the gap from needing assistance to being the movers and shakers of tomorrow.

Unconditional Love on the Runways of London

I have nothing but unconditional love for Unconditional. This designer is new to me; however, I love the ideas behind what was presented at London's Fashion Week that is currently going on!



I love the Japanese influences on this dress and love the neutral color. And just in case you're wondering my closet began as neutral palatte that now incorporates color but I love colors that can go anywhere so you don't have to think about if you can wear something due to its shocking color. I would wear this dress to go out to dinner with my cuddlebear, a night out with the girls or an opening for my jewelry and clothing line.


What can you say about this look, a few posts back I promised to incorporate more men on the runway. I admit I slacked a bit but when I saw this model with the great sweater (perfect when you just wake up and you're hanging out for the weekend) - I thought, who would fault me for posting this great ensemble and yummie guy.


Okay, back to the serious business of the runways, you can never go wrong with white! I also love the Grecian influence. Once again a clean look that you can take on vacation. Regardless of where you go, this dress makes a beautiful bold statement.


Of course no entry from me would be complete if I didn't have a something representing swimwear. I love the swimsuit and the colors and I like the duster sweater over it. Of course the outerwear can be paired with great slacks and a top, a cute skirt and much more. But I have always loved having something long paired with a bathing suit. It elongates the torso and reminds you that you should definately be in a cabana right now relaxing as you read this blog!

Preen Hits the Runway During London Fashion Week

Ah the runways, the best present that I could get is to get tickets to a runway show. I have seen so many shows online, TV etc that I can't wait to be invited to a show or use the power of the connex to attend. But even then, I would still let you guys in on the info. Here is a designer that is new to me. Preen hit the runways on Tuesday and I love the geometric style, very different and clean as well.





I love the color of the dress. I like that this dress has such a sex appeal without going over the top and the color is absolutely amazing. I think that this would be cute to wear to a cocktail party, wedding, etc. If you felt the need to have coverage nearby, get a cute shawl to wear with this. This is also paired well with a cute bag and a great pair of heels.




I love the concept behind this dress! Using neutrals and the way the garment reminds you of strips that have been put into place is genius. It's such a basic body to use but I love the execution. It has a great length as well and this dress also has versatile elements to it as well.



I would so wear this green shirt in South Beach. What better cover up to wear as you leave the beach and head to your drinking spot for a few Happy Hour beverages (Tequilla Chicas I so miss you and will be back soon). It has such a crisp look while being super relaxed. many kudos to Preen!

Ralph Lauren as Classic and Presence Commanding as Ever

I grew up reading Vogue and when I read Vogue, you met Ralph Lauren the relaxed, cool and crisp style that is the driving force of America. Years later when I would begin my job hunt I was impressed to sit in his offices within Human Resources and see how he is inspired. There were so many pictures on the wall of him with horses, beautiful rugs and more that you know Ralph Lauren is more than a lifestyle is a brand and a way of life. No closet is complete without Ralph Lauren or something reflecting his style. Ironically, today I totally rocked a navy and white striped oxford, a pair pf classic jeans and I bought a platform sueded loafer - oh Ralph you inspire me so :).





I love to wear hats and I do love the classic black dress. Even the other model in this picture that is walking away has such a crisp clean look - it makes me want to pack for the Derby - I'm not even going to say how much I love her bag and hope that it lands in my closet.





I fought the long short - scoffed at the idea of wearing it and because I can be easily swayed after a few years, I can finally say that the long short is cute. I love this outfit it's like boarding school chic - very preppy and works in so many ways. It can be dressed up with a lot of items and you can pretty much wear it anywhere.





Hello this is my favorite outfit, you can't go wrong wearing white! I love the strapless version and I love the other one as well. I think what does it is the detailing at the bottom. Once again, you can think of so many reasons why you would wear this dress to an event and you would look amazing!

Michael Kors Fab Sense on Project Runway & Fab Style for Spring 2007

Prior to this season of Project Runway, I liked Michael Kors shoes and handbags. I saw them and loved them - I like his simple details. After Project Runway and hearing his processes on fashion and seeing how much him and his mom look and think alike, I am hooked on Kors! So my look at Fashion Week could not be complete without looking at my favorites of his line.





Pink is so cute - yes I used to fight this color and now we have made ammends and we are friends. I love how this casual look has a dressy factor to it. It's sassy without being over the top! The tie is such a sweet detail too.





I had to do it - I'm a sucker for bathing suits and this is just sexy (without being sleezy by any means) and hello the bag is awesome. I will be looking for this bag. Once again this makes me wish I was back in South Beach with this outfit!





It's official, this is my favorite look from the runway. You can't go wrong in black and white. Having the tied white shirt with the black pants is a fabulous and classic look. I love something that is sophisticated, youthful and still has that wow em and leave em factor!

Tibi & Carlos Miele On the Runway

I have put two designers within the same post so here we go!




I like Tibi. I see a lot of her items but I LOVED this piece. I like the colors, the design and the cut away look. I think that she looks absolutely amazing and I could see wearing this to a summer function where you want to be noticed without saying a word.





This is a designer that is new to me - Carlos Miele. He is absolutely amazing. I love how he plays with layers and makes everything ultra feminine. This cream dress is stunning. As she walks the layers flow and I love the details that are on the top of the dress. I am a fan of beading and I love that it isn't over done.





We have a winner! This is a beautiful color! I love the two toned look, the angled strap and I like that as she walks the dress falls to the side and creates a beautiful silhouette. There is nothing more that can be said about such a royal dress that will have every eye looking at you!

The Times Are a Changin'

I have always been a fan of this song from Bob Dylan, The Times are a Changin'. I love how he talks about life moving regardless of how fast we move and that we have to keep pace. I have always felt that my birthday was a mile marker for me. In many ways, it kicks off the new year for me. It's Sept and it's odd but I always feel super motivated at this time of year. You're going into the fall, things slow down, you can focus on holiday and moving on your personal projects so that by the next Spring/Summer you can see how your hard work has materialized.

For myself, I am in a period of cleaning up. As you know, I am days away from taking my jewelry to the next level and at the same time - I am all about personal growth. This weekend, I will be online a lot working on these items and cleaning up random things that I don't need! I'm actually cleaning out my closets to make room for the impending move I will be doing and taking items out that I can't work into my day to day or random occassions. I am going to post quite a few things on Craigslist and I found a place that has Ebay free auction templates that hopefully will make my section of Ebay professional and I will see if my unwanted items will become someone else's biggest finds!

And I will make some final decisions on my living situation - argh too many decisions but they are necessary all the same! Looking for a place is like looking for a job - thank goodness for the Internet. It seems like I know all the sites by heart - NYC is such a huge place and there are so many options that you feel drained just by thinking about it. In the end, looking for an apartment that will simply be one small apartment after another is a little daunting but at least there is hope for a doorman hehe. These are times that you lived by the beach so at least you could have an amazing view and the winter wouldn't seem so long cooped up in a tiny department. Yes looking into South Beach or La Jolla real estate does seem to have its benefits at a time when the weather is changing and flip flops begin to fizzle out as sweaters become the coveted accessory .... sigh.

It's Nice To Think Ahead & Get Educated About Fashion

I was talking with a friend of mine the other day whose cousin is in her senior year in high school. She felt that since I blog about fashion that I could help her out with some questions she had been asked about getting dressed for the many dances that take place your senior year. With Homecoming, Prom, Senior Grad Dance or the many occassions that come up in high school or college - some people are at a loss of where to look. So I utilized my friend Google and came across a site that provides some basic information about dressing for your occassion and shows you some trends in prom dresses and gowns. I thought that that was a nice touch because it helps to know where you're at, what's a good idea to bring back and what should be left behind.

When dressing up for these events, know that it's ok to feel that you may not feel 100% comfortable with your outfit. If you felt gorgeous when you put it on, you still look that way. Remember that you don't dress this way everyday so you're going to have reservations and everyone will be shocked by how you dress. This is your opportunity to look like the girls on the many runways that you have ever heard about or see on this site. In addition, it's not just people in highschool and college that feel like the task of stepping it up a notch is a bit scary - there are adults who feel challenged as well. The fact is that it's one day or series of days. Hopefully you will enjoy it and find little things that you can carry into your normal dressing routine - the use of makeup, wearing heels or just adding little glam touches!

Designer Tattoos???

My boyfriend has 2 tattoos and I love them but as I was searching online, I came across a guy who creates tattoos for Hollywood. He creates tattoos for those that will be in movies. Much like a wardrober, he fits a tatoo transfer for you to play a designated role on whatever film you are doing. Above is Brad Pitt with a tattoo on his hand during Oceans Twelve. This is a temporary tattoo that he had and the image I have selected, is a version that can be purchased online from Tinsley Transfers. he has worked with so many artists that it's amazing to see how natural his work looks! I guess I didn't think that not only are tattoos custom; however, they can be like an accessory - put on and take off at will. So, if you have a tattoo or simply sport a tribal tattoo, cultural tattoo, etc - you can still rank them to see how yours fair with others on Rate My Tattoo.

Always Something Different ....

I love to hear about new people or at least those that are new to me. Once again, another runway and another designer - Reem.





This post is so hard to have a favorite in but I believe that this would be it! I like that it's ultra feminine, the oyster grey color is so beautiful and I love the beading in this outfit as well. This makes me think of going to a Hamptons cocktail party and packing this away for that weekend. I think that it has such a whimsical quality in it.





Somehow this reminds me of a ballerina of sorts. I can't say why but it reminds me of a performace I saw once where the ballerina was in the woods dancing and this reminds me of that moment. I love the use of red and dark grey with this fabric. It's youthful and sophisticated and it looks very comfortable.





I am and always will be a fan of paying tribute to the Grecian look. I think she looks like a goddess and I love how it hangs. I could see being on a beach and having a party while sipping some champagne. This looks so simple and fabulous that you know it works everytime you wear it. This is my tie for favorite look!





There is something about this gown that makes me love it although there are details on it that I'm not a fan of it. The pocket like items make me cringe a bit but somehow it all works. It could be the color, the way the garment hangs; however, I would be silly not to include this as a great look and definately elegant.

Kitten Finds ... MM Agency

I remember growing up watching reality shows and wishing I could be on the show. It wasn't until I went to college that I got to try my hand at getting into shows and realized that it kind of sucks standing in long lines hoping to be one of 7 characters that America will fall in love with or learn to hate! I love watching Project Runway and seeing that 3 of the models are friends of mine and you know what - much like the fashion business, everything is about the power of the connex. Although you could go to the open calls and get chosen, it's much easier when you're rep'd. I know that even for Kitten Couture, being rep'd by my showroom and being apart of key events assists me when I need to be apart of the fashion community. So this is a nice resource to have for that reality star who is on their way to fame and to hear that they were chosen to find out what happens when you put seven strangers in a house! MM Agency does casting for mtv real world and they seem to have quite a roster of people that have made it into a variety of episodes. What does reality TV have to do with fashion and why is it on this blog? Once again, the power of the connex. Some people go on a show and get 15 mins of fame. And then for the more discerning, there are those that branch off and use that quick celebrity to get their items into celeb hands and they become the next big thing. They may not be on the lips of mass America but they tap into those select markets and are able to promote their puppy, jewelry and hat lines. Sometimes if you want to get out there you have to think outside of the box!

Kitten Finds .... MatrixMT

When you are in the business of being a fashionista, suddenly you find that you have to care about more than just designing great pieces, presenting them well on your site or blogging about them. You realize that by picking the business of fashion you either know or recruit others to know about marketing, web design and more. The task can be daunting but stress only creates worry so leave it to those that know the business. I meet many people in these areas and it's nice to share what I know and MatrixMY the San Diego web design firm is definately a possibility for you! From inception to presentation they have something for you. Whether you need marketing solutions or you need a site to showcase your beautiful collections, this is a site that you should consider. Flip through their services and if you need to know more their site is so user friendly.


An important thing to consider when considering providers is search engine reputation management which is key. This is the method that people use to find you and has a direct affect on the hits you achieve. I know that by optimizing Kitten Couture, I have been able to obtain higher rankings of my site which makes it easier for possible fashionistas to add my line to their interests! They have case studies, articles that you can read and more. Being an informed consumer creates a stronger relationship and allows you to learn along the way. For those that are interested in getting into fashion by starting their own businesses, take the time to learn about other aspects of the industry beyond the fashion itself.

Ah Happy Birthday Little Fashionista :)

The little fashionista is me (okay I'm not that little)! I turn 27 today (yes I was counting the minutes until the clock turned midnight). So I am giving myself a little pat on the back for being 27!! I always loved having my birthday at this time because it is the perfect blend of the end of summer warmth and the beginning of the crisp air of fall. It's a quick moment in time, but one to catch none the less. Thus the pic of Bloody Mary's which is perfect for the summer and great for the fall as well!


I have no idea how the night will end up (although I will be making a trip to the Stella Artois Draught Master Competition at the Puck Building - exciting and you can see this review at Pubcrawlin) but let me say this, I will have an awesome time! I have always felt that when it was my birthday, it was the kick off to my year. I know it sounds strange but I felt that when you turned the next age you wanted to feel that you got more accomplished in that year then you did the next one. I know that this is true for me and I hope that it continues to get better. This year is going to be huge and I thank all my friends and family that made it possible - and cuddlebear too. So, show love and support check out my design home, Kitten Couture there are a lot of great things going on there and of course, now that I am blogging away, don't just stop here at the Kitten Couture Blog, check out my other blogs in addition to this one:

Pubcrawlin - I am a editor and report on NYC nightlife

Pop Culture Whore NYC - I am a contributing writer and I talk about fashion

This is Why We Love Fashion Week ...

For every designer that we all tend to know within our "Fashion Public Knowledge", there are those like Cia. Maritima who we can learn to add to that knowledge. She also appeared at Fashion Week and below, model Karolina Kurkova was apart of the show this past Friday.


I love this white caftan it looks so feminine and you can easily put it over your bathing suit or wear it in South Beach to do some errands. I love the detailing on this piece and Kurkova wears it well.





I love bathing suits, I think you can never have enough and I love the colors with this one. Having the neutral tones balance out with the cool tones of the blue makes me want to have this suit for my next trip to South Beach.

Gottex is the First Place to See a Great Bathing Suit

I love Gottex they are one of the top bathing suit brands in the business. They are known for their great quality, ability to incorporate elements such as bathing suits that assist in taking care of your skin (they have UV protection) while also allowing you to tan. I also love their designs as well. You know that I love bathing suits, so I picked out some of my favorites.





How can I not LOVE the shapes of this bathing suit. I like that it is all white but I love how this one piece takes on new dynamics because of the geometrical cuts. This is the perfect suit to emerge from your cabana.





There is something sweet to this outfit. There are daring cuts and the hints of red are great! I love how it ties together.





I was never one to wear halters until my last trip to South Beach and now I can't imagine not including one. I love the neutrals and sportiness of this suit. Of course I love the bangle jewelry as well.

Rock Republic & Alex & Nicole

This is a great collection of designers that I decided could all be put together in one post to show the different ideas that hit the runway. Everyone has a different take on fashion and it all comes together on or near the tents.





Nicole Miller presented this past Friday. I love her clean lines. Of course, I love the resort nature of this outfit and I am always a fan of showing off the shoulders which is very sexy and casual at the same time.





I was not familiar with Alexandre Herchcovitch who was apart of the shows on Saturday but I am always happy to embrace a designer that is new to me. He's very colorful (a lot of his collection seemed to have primary colors) but I like to think that there are ways to work his colors into an outfit that may be a solid color. I think that his pieces are intended to stand out so you may have to work it a bit but I can only imagine how the pieces worked as far as being on the runway.





I was first introduced to Rock Republic a few months ago during a trade show that I worked last spring. During the Intermezzo, they were at a booth near me (I was modeling some items from BCBG's Noun line) and people were annoyed that their booth was so loud. I thought there items were interesting and I loved their jeans and rock star style. I am so glad to see more of their items and can't wait to see more of their pieces. They definately know how to have a good time. They unveiled their collection at Cipriani. The image above has a jacket that I just love. I love the sleeve, the detailing on it and how the jacket cuts back to reveal the shirt underneath. I would feel like a rockstar in this outfit.





Once again, if you want a little star quality, this line should be included because it has attitude and so many ways that you can wear it to tailor your mood of the moment.

Japan Fashion Week

While we are enjoying Fashion Week here in NYC, Japan Fashion Week is also going on. I have to say that there are a lot of amazing designs heading out on this runway as well. As always, I am always inspired by the amount of creativity out there!




This is a great outfit by Chinami Kamishima during the 2007 Spring Fashion Week in Tokyo. I love how we see both of the models in their cream and olive ensembles!





This is another piece by Chinami Kamishima.





Takamichi Kumagai's creations are also on the runway as well in the picture above and below. I must say that the picture below is my favorite because of the pants. I know that some people are saying that the wide pants are getting a little out of hand; however, I like that this fabric is softer so the outfit is able to drape and it has a feminine look to it. I think this would be cute to pair with a tank top to make it casual or something like a shimmery shirt with a wrap to dress it up a bit.



Kumagai's pieces are really eye catching!

Perry Ellis ... We Can't Leave The Guys Out From the Catwalk

I am fair! Fashion is for everyone and whenever I see a runway, I want to let the whole Blogosphere know about it too!! Perry Ellis was also on the catwalk today and here's a selection from his show.





I'm a fan of the white and grey look. I love that it's clean and casual. It has a crisp quality while being very laid back.





Love the coat of the model in the foreground. What can you say, all white is a great look! And yes during this show Perry Ellis also showed his lounge/underwear collection as the model in the background walks back to the entrance of the runway.





Model in his lounge outfit, very nice I love long sleeves - very Sunday post brunch/pre football. The model in the background, has a jacket that I could ssee my boyfriend in. I love the natural color and that it would be good with so many pants.





This is my favorite look of the runway for this show. I like a tank top paired with these plaid pants. Looks so casual and this model shows it off very well. I could imagine this with boat shoes on, leather flip flops or something of that nature. I promise to include at least one show a day from the menswear collections :).

Marc Bouwer ... Wows At Fashion Week

Marc Bouwer presented today at Fashion Week. It's so hard to just choose a few pics but the post would be long if I put in all my favorites. So for the most part, I am making an effort to choose 4 items of each designer that I loved.





You know me, I love bathing suits. Traditionally, I am not into one pieces but I love the color and the cover up. The design of the fabric looks amazing so it had to be in here. PS he has another one piece in red that look AWESOME!





This top is insane. I love the lapel, sleeves, the way it flares out and paired with the shorts - too cute. There is a sexy, vampy quality about this that makes me wish I could buy it this very second.





What can I say, it's the shoulder. That tiny peak makes this outfit hot. I love the black and white design and the high slit. It rides the line of almost having too many things going on; however, it ends up making since and looking fabulous.





My ultimate favorite? This dress. I love the color, love how it's up in the front and cascades around you. I love how it seems that the top is brought in by this brooch. It's so elegant and yet it stops you in your tracks. This is a red carpet dress for sure!

Runways Come Alive .... BCBG

If I've said it once, I'll say it again. September is awesome due to the huge magazines busting with fashion and of course being Fashion Week. For the next 8 days, fashion becomes even more prominent here by the large tents that are set up in Bryant Park. This year, the tents will be see through (a portion of them) as a means to show more of what goes on behind the traditionally suspicious tents. For the past few days as I have been about my business in the city, I have watched the crews coming together to create this amazing stage and now it is finally here. For those loyal fans of this site, you will be able to have a variety of shows posted on here and of course, if I can find sites with more pictures, then I will post it here as well. So I will post as much as possible and I will do my best to give up anything that I find :). If you want to know who is doing what, check out Olympus Fashion Week which shows the schedules, pictures of the runway and more. Also check out Fashion Week Daily for behind the scenes information and who did what to whom.

Now, BCBG is a line that I love for many reasons. They walked today during the show and I must say that has some awesome pieces!





This white dress is so feminine and I love the homage to the empire waist and kimono look. The detailing is awesome as well. This reminds me of fashion week and is the epitome of effortless beauty that is definately my personal style. This is my favorite of the collection from BCBG!





Love the color and I like baring the shoulders. It seems that this piece allows you to wear it in slightly different ways to achieve your preferred look. I could see this for a night out with your honey, a drink for the girls or something of this nature. Very casual and yet striking.





I love a clean look and I love seeing white. This is a nice look and I love the top.





Can I just say that I LOVE the pants. The too is cute but I love the large oants and of course when you wear white, you can't go wrong with this piece.
