I also attended NOLCHA Fashion Week last week during my visit for New York Fashion Week Spring 2010. The two events happened simultaneously. I was so busy running around the tents and backstage of the shows at the New York Fashion Week, but I made sure to stop by upper east side at the NOLCHA Fashion Week and to meet BJ Coleman. As soon as I walked in the Bohemian National Hall, located at 321 East 73rd I saw BJ Coleman and introduced myself. I told BJ that I couldn’t travel all the way to NYC and miss his event! I

MICHAEL Michael Kors Jamesport Sandal

My recent purchase at Nordstrom shoe department just before I took off to NYC this week was MICHAEL Michael Kors Jamesport Sandal. I’m in love with these shoes! For $144.95 I got runway material shoes. All worth it!

The funny thing was meeting another girl while I was out for dinner who commented on my shoes, and I commented on hers…both of our shoes turned out to be MICHAEL Michael Kors! It was such a great bonding moment!

Also comes in Luggage Leather (brownish color).

Lindsay Lohan is the Face of Fornarina

Lindsay Lohan is the face of Fornarina. I’ve never worn anything by Fornarina before, but I do love Lindsay’s hairstyle here, the red lips, and red nail polish. I don’t mind the first outfit. I’m not sure, however, if it’s a short dress, oversized shirt, or shorts. If it’s shorts then I like it:) And these red heels are funky!
