Hi Everyone

So many people have been visiting this site and haven't seen activity last summer - did I go away? Of course not! I just focused on other blogs and have now decided to transition this site to me personally. First let's get up to speed on what has been going on. I am still the Editor of See Pretty Things which continues to focus on accessories and has been around for the past 18 months! Because of this, I went to Las Vegas to visit with designers and showrooms at Project, Accessories Show, Lingerie Show and more to create additional content for this blog. It was the first time that I had ever went to some of these shows and to the city and I had an AMAZING time.

I am also the Editor of a new blog The Kitten Lounge which is all about entertainment and style. I love sharing my information with all of you in this forum and to be able to include other fashion elements that I have not been able to in See Pretty Things. This site has been around since last fall and has definitely been generating a lot of buzz over the past few months.

I also became a contributing writer under the name Kitten Diva for Social Diva. This blog has been a lot of fun since we are writers that cover various locations: Miami, NY, Atlanta and LA. I love including events that people may not know about - it's like getting in on the inside. This has let me get in on a few trunk shows, fashion week (I did enjoy covering Vyctoria Hong's show - the former contestant of Season 4's Project Runway) and more.




In addition to blogging, I have definitely stepped it up in terms of my jewelry design and I am pleased to report that there are some positive things going on due to the success of Kitten Couture. It is because of this that I have returned to the Kitten Couture Blog as a means to share my experience as I work as a jewelry designer. I think it's a great way to share with you guys and to get feedback as well. So I look forward to hearing your feedback as well.

Finally, while I work on the Internet and Jewelry front, I continue to enjoy working my day job at Lacoste which is a lot of fun and is definitely teaching me more everyday about the business of fashion. I say all this to say that this site will be back up and running and you will enjoy hearing more about my line and just my personal thoughts while I encourage you to visit my other sites to find fashion specific information!

Etienne Aigner Takes to the Runway

Runway shows definitely get me excited in thinking about ways that I want to enhance my style. Even if it's something that probably won't find its way into my closet, I am always interested in seeing how another's vision culminated into a fascinating show that's litteraly over before it begings. Etienne Aigner took to the runway this month and I had to include two stunning pictures from the show. I have always been a fan of their accessories and I enjoy seeing their use of color and proportion within these fabulous shots.


I love the dress that the model is wearing. It's a great style and a classic print and of course I am always a fan of the large oversized bag. This screams St Tropez to me and a fabulous dinner after a long day kicking back at the beach.





Who wouldn't love being the lady in red in this strappless and very classic dress?

Nan Kempner: American Chic @ The Met

Amazing things are going on all over this blog and others that I am associated with. Although See Pretty Things has many posts on there, I can never be without Kitten Couture Blog for too long, it's the original and what lead the way to all the things that I write about. In that vein, when you think about classics and what leads the way, I have amazing pictures from the Nan Kempner: American Chic event at the Met that were taken and attended by Julie of Coutorture! I love being apart of this network to either be apart of fun events such as Lucky Shops (had fun bulking up my closets at a discounted price) or simply getting great footage of an event.

At this event, there were a variety of pieces exhibited that reflected many of our classic designers and I must say that it's breathtaking and I would have loved to see this in person during this event! For more pictures, take a click on the title link to see more items!








This amazing piece by Valentino is absolutely stunning and gives "lady in red" an entirely new meaning. Although in my normal day to day activities I would be a tad overdressed in this ensemble, we all could imagine wearing something like this to a special launch or fabulous gala.







This YSL dress reminds me of something that is geisha related. I love learning about these women and something I learned was that in Japanese culture, they felt that seeing the lower arm pouring tea or seeing their neck area was something of a sensual element. I think that this idea relates to this dress. I love that it is a sweeping dress and that this neck detail is delicate and yet very sexy.







I love the idea behind this outfit. I love the dress and the sheer cape. Another fabulous YSL ensemble and the color is so rich that anyone would look regal wearing this. Seeing these pieces and the statements that they make inspires you as you design. I think regardless of what we design or purchase, we want to wear something that makes a statement about what we are or where we are going. This exhibit has so many of these looks that it's fun to take a few moments and check it out!
