New York Fashion Week Fall 2012: Rochambeau

So last week under the auspices of Sugar Rock Catwalk fashion blog I found myself at the New York Fashion Week to cover the Rochambeau show at the "Box" at Lincoln Center. I had fun for a spell taking in the fashions and being around lots of beautiful people :). Let the photos tell the story. Thanks Erin! Everyone check out sugarrockcatwalk.blogspot.com, an uber fashion forward blog that gives fashionistas great tips on what to wear and where to get great designer bargains! Love the ladies from SRCT.











The designers that make up Rochambeau, Joshua Cooper and Laurence Chandler, with columnist Mickey Boardman.

Williamsbrides 2012!

Last week I was happy to go to Williamsbrides in Williamsburg the other day. It is a bridal interactive event that featured the creme de la creme of wedding services providers in Brooklyn and NYC. I had a blast, loved the ambiance - the venue was a new event space, The Space at Fifty North Third, right by the water in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Everything from the cakes (and tastings :)) to the pretty place settings was top notch!
Let the pictures do the talking...

Yelp provided the gift bags...

Wythe Hotel was there to show off its accommodations for out of town guests...

It was a pleasure meeting Kerry Quade who had the most exquisite place settings and flowers.

Can I just say something about the hors d'oeuvres of the featured caterers at this here event?!? Foodie that I am, I, along with every guest whose conversation I overheard, loved the polenta and lamb on the left. Naturally Delicious, you guys are the best!! When is your next event so I can crash, because well you know, I will work for food. No really lol...

Oh yum yum yum, Elegantly Iced IS THE BEST. I had seconds of their cake samples. The cakes not only look great they taste wonderful. I was told they didn't have a flavor list because, as a custom cake maker, she (the baker) will bake just about anything requested. Tasting her creations, I believe her...

These are the always lovely confections of Sugar Flower Cake Shop...

Check out Go Flip Yourself, photobooth fun with a twist, where they make mini books of your photo sessions on the spot! I thought it was a very fun concept.

More place settings from the always fabulous Rock Paper Scissors Events!

More delicacies from Naturally Delicious.

And met some old friends along the way...

The Wedding Party 2012!

A couple of weeks back, I had the lovely pleasure of attending yet again the superlative Wedding Party put together by The Wedding Library and Martha Stewart Weddings at the New York Palace in New York City. Last year was my first time attending the event and I'm so glad I got to go traipse around the halls of the Palace for another yummy image fest this year! For me, it was a great opportunity to meet up with very talented creatives across the wedding services industry. When it comes to luxury, panache and high-style the Wedding Library's Claudia Hanlin does not play. She is also such a sweet sweet soul :)

This year I was able to catch the bridal fashion show by Kleinfeld Bridal. I also got to meet up with some acquaintances in the industry (Hey Carlos, Hey Mel, Hey Alan...:)) and stuffed my face with cake (smh). Anyway all in all, I fully recommend for every bride who wants the hook up with the top tier vendors in wedding planning in NYC and beyond, the Wedding Party is a must!


From pretty place settings...



To the most delectably designed cakes by Creme Delicious

From Ron Ben-Israel's dainty designs. I learned that the designs on display were actually inspired by china patterns.

and how can you talk about cake design, without talking about Sylvia Weinstock?... :)

There were the most whimsical cake designs...


Which all tasted just fantastical...

Scrumptious food presentations...

and stylish print.

Great photography print props by Say Cheese Paper Props.

There was some serious bridal couture...

The band was slammin' this year as usual

On to one of the main attractions of the day. The dresses! Kleinfeld house needs no further introduction...
