@_petite PARADE Day 2 #kidsfashionweek

24 Mar

Day 2 was just as fun as Day 1 and My daughter and son tagged along today for more amazing fashion. I took pictures too but will put the professional images by John Parra on this blog attached to the link along with a few of my own down below. Scheduled were Bonnie Young, Pale Cloud, Ki6, Iceberg, Miss Bluemarine, Silvia’s Heach Kids and Music by 9 year old DJ Fulano.

There was a Creative Workshop presented by The Little West Group and milkPOP in support of Only Make Believe. Kids got to decorate sneakers, t-shirts, or pillows with all types of glitter, markers, paint, ribbons, and crystals. My daughter did a t-shirt and a pillow for a small fee which went for a great cause Only Make Believe.

The 5:00pm showcase featured Andy & Evan, Beatrix New York, Cupcakes & Pastries, Isabel et Toi, Kissy Kissy, Pimalinda, Reina Mora, Snopea, SUOAK, Umi, Zutano, and Zuzii.
The 5:30pm show were all about the shoes Akers Kids, Saucony Kids, Sperry Top-sider, and Stride Rite.

The picture of DJ Fulano was taken by photographer Alix Martinez.

Once again every show was amazing and my daughter loved just about every outfit. My son enjoyed himself and they also enjoyed the amazing cupcakes by Georgetown. Delish! Snacks are always a must with kids so glad they made sure we were taken cared of and gift bags always a winner!! Met a lot of people this year and I’m glad I did. Also great to see my fellow bloggers and a few celebrities in the audience like June Ambrose, Alex McCord, Simon van Kempen and the Novogratz.

@_petitePARADE #kidsfashionweek Diesel Kids Fashion Show

24 Mar

Diesel was the last show on Day 1 and they were accompanied by a special live School of Rock House Band Performance which rocked!! There was also a make-your-own flip book workshop. Everyone also got lollipops and candy was given out by the models at the end of the show.
I’ve always loved Diesel and were glad when they made a kids line. All the kid models were so cute and did a great job in all of the shows.

My daughter managed to get on the runway with her friends and pose for pictures once it ended of course. They all should have been in the show. We enjoyed ourselves and couldn’t wait for Day 2.

@_petitePARADE Review of #kidsfashionweek Target Runway Showcase

24 Mar

March 9 was the first day of kids fashion week and I was beyond thrilled to get to come back and experience all the great styles and trends for kids. My daughter accompanied me again this year and she was excited as well. I’d like to thank Bryan Arenas for all his hard work and giving me the invite. If you have kids, and you’re into fashion then @_petitePARADE is where you need to be every year. Fashion, and Kidswear Editors gathered and mingled with haute mommy- bloggers, designers, and buyers to experience the newest collections and watch the little fashionistas hit. The runway to amazing tunes by petite DJ’s and a live band.

The first show up was the Target Runway Showcase which featured Target’s bull terrier mascot which guests had the opportunity to take pictures with after the show. Guests also received a stuffed dog which is the bull terrier mascot for Target. My daughter enjoyed meeting her in person and also enjoyed taking pictures with her BFF’s and Tristan and Tyler. She loves the camera too and wants to be on the runway soon.
DJ Kai Song was on the turntables and is only 8 yrs old.

@BabyKuuClothing Spring Trunk Show @HaberdasheryNYC

24 Mar

I took my daughter to @HarlemHaberdashery for their @BabyKuuClothing Spring Trunk Show on Saturday. I am so glad we went because we found the dress my daughter is going to wear for her graduation in June. All the dresses were beautiful and I will be a customer knowing that these dresses are organic, manufactures in the USA, and that the owner Talana Riviere and I share a childhood of memories dressing up with our classic dresses, ruffled socks, penny loafers, and bows in our hair. I always said if I have a daughter I want her to dress the way my mother dressed my sister and I when we were growing up. I am glad she loves dresses and is a little princess. If you go on their website you will find clothing for boys and girls. (www.babykuu.com) You can also find her on Twitter as mentioned above and Facebook (Facebook.com/BabyKuu) Talana, her assistant, and my daughter had fun together. They are very sweet and she is an incredible designer.

My daughter also love barrettes, bows, headbands, clips, okay anything that goes in her hair with nice colors or sparkles. Also showcasing @HarlemHaberdashery was Plush Bows. They make handmade head bows for infants and young girls. They also turn bows into clips and headbands. Of course my daughter wanted all of the bows but we narrowed it down to 3 even though she tried to sneak in one more. Amazing prints, colors, and Swarovski bling for your little girl. The owner is Shante Hines and she was very nice and welcoming. My daughter took a picture with her which will be in the gallery below. You can check her out on her website at PlushBows.com and Facebook.com/PlushBows

Harlem Haberdashery is an amazing boutique in the heart of Harlem with clothing that you will see on customers who know style and quality. One of a kind pieces made to order from kids to adults. There is also a wonderful selection of eyewear from @5001FLAVORS to @RebelloEyewear. They are located at 245 W. Lenox Avenue btwn 122nd &123rd. I mentioned their Twitter handle above and you can check out their website http://www.harlemhaberdashery.com The owners are beautiful, friendly neighbors and my daughter and I had a good time getting to know them.

The event was catered with delicious turkey burgers, appetizers, juice for adults, and kids, and amazing cupcakes from PinkCupcakes located in New Jersey. The website is NATSPINKCUPCAKES.COM
The kids also played games, arts and craft, relay race, jellybean contest, and won lollipops, and my daughter won Hello Kitty headphones from the relay race.
Charles Rangel even stopped by to look around.
@GOLDENMAGAZINE were also in the building taking pictures of the kids in the beautiful clothing.
Just want to thank everyone my daughter and I met for a fun Saturday afternoon.
Enjoy the pics!!

OBSESSED WITH TSUBO

19 Mar

Are you obsessed with shoes the way I am? I recently came across the most gorgeous, stylish, comfortable shoes it looks like you’re walking on clouds. The company is called Tsubo and I am dying to try a few pair. The colors are amazing and I’ve never seen anything like it. With my feet having a heel spurs I know at this is exactly what I need to be at peace with my feet and look stylish and feel comfortable all at the same time. I picked out a few styles that I want to try and hope one day I am lucky enough to have them in my shoe collection. (Wink,Wink)

If you want to splurge on a great shoe please do it with Tsubo. The prices range from $120 and up.
They have a variety of shoe stores that carry the brand. You can check out the website and find stores near you. Tsubo.com

I am not going to stop stalking these shoes until I am walking in them. The styles I picked below are my favorite. I wanted to show you the other colors but it wouldn’t load but these are my top must have.

Tsubo I would be delighted to review any of these shoes for you!!! (Wink ,Wink)

Happy shoe shopping ladies and men because they have a great selection for you as well.

#NYFW Kenneth Cole Fashion Show #KCRUNWAY

8 Feb

I love when Fashion Week comes to New York so I make it my business to try and attend a few shows. I used to volunteer years ago and see all the shows and take home a few freebies here and there. I miss the Bryant Park location but Lincoln Center is pretty cool. I won 2 tickets to the Kenneth Cole show and decided to take my 16 year old son along for the ride. The location of the show was on 27th street this year in a studio. There were celebrities there but I only saw Heidi Klum and Kenneth Cole himself who I was able to get pictures of. The show was amazing and I hope to attend a few more hopefully before the next one. If anyone has extra tickets just laying around I am available. Hope you enjoy the pictures!!!

BLACK FRIDAY MY WAY!!

23 Nov

Didn’t really do a lot of Black Friday shopping today. I waited till 5:00 p.m. to go to the mall and avoid the crowds and stress. I went to Marshalls and got a few things, as well as Target. I did score my free cookbook at Costcos like I’ve been doing for a few years now. That book has great recipes and they had hundreds left. I should have gotten more to give away to family and friends. I’ll check back to see if they still have any left.
I took a picture of the mall.

They also put up a big tree by Costcos.

Here’s the cookbook

What girl doesn’t love a handbag?!!

6 Nov

I have an obsession for handbags so bad that I could open up a shop. Not bragging just something I’ve been doing for a long time. If I see a handbag, purse, clutch, tote, wallet, or even suitcase I want I try my best to get it and eventually wind up with it. I will some sacrifice clothes for a great handbag that’s why my closet is stuffed beyond capacity.

I had an experience in H&M one day where a famous designer was bringing out a new collection and I had to be there. I didn’t personally know the designer but it was the buzz and I said if I don’t go I will never know what I could have got.

The store gave out assigned times you were able to shop and you only had 15 minutes. I was in the 3rd or 4th timeslot so as the line moves in you make it upstairs to see the women going crazy hoping they don’t take what you want and that they restock by the time you get to shop.

Here’s where I got my shopping skills on. As each group went in I stood on the side & looked for the women with the least items in their hands and asked if they could get an item for me and I would meet them at the counter to pay for it. Some was fine, some ignored me, and one I gave some money to for a bag I really wanted and because it was the last one and I had to have it.

I scored a pair of sunglasses, 2 bags, and a scarf. I didn’t even have to shop when it was my time and I’m glad because nothing I wanted was left anyway. Those women weren’t playing.

The reason I mentioned that story is to let you know when women want something designer or not especially at an unbelievable price we’re going to GET IT!!  I saw what I want I was thinking on my feet and I conquered.

Bloomingdale’s have their beautiful Louis Vuitton window on display. I love everything in the window and look at the wedge shoe.

Remember ladies, we don’t have to be a millionaire to get a designer bag.
These are just a few stores to buy designer bags for less :

*Marshalls
*TJ Maxx
*Century 21
*Designer Sample Sales are the best

My collection of bags will be passed down to my daughter. I hope she gets a walk in closet wherever she moves.
