@UnrulyHeir #NYFW

Once again I won 2 tickets to #NYFW to see @UnrulyHeir at the Park in Chelsea so I took my mom along this time and this show was different from the rest. There were marshmallows to roast, and a dj playing the right tunes if you were throwing a ski cabin party in the Poconos. The models stood in a line and you get to walk around and take their pictures while their serious or goofing off. This was L ‘Unruly Après Ski fall collection and there were a lot of plaid, red, even boxers with a ski mask and scarf. I liked what the twin models Marco and Matthew were wearing. I liked all the outfits from the hats down to the Converse sneakers they had on. My mother and I enjoyed ourselves and hope to be invited back next time. I also won an outfit which will go to my son. Here are my pics below. Enjoy!!

@_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.

THE CROODS REVIEW

20 Mar

By now every household should know who The Croods are so I’m not going to write a whole blog about the movie but I am going to tell you how much my kids and I enjoyed it very much, and how we wish The Croods were our neighbors today. I need neighbors who are excellent hunters, survivors, fast on their feet, and know how to protect their loved ones by any means necessary. They could show me some stuff, and I could teach them a few things here and there.

The overprotective dad (Grug) is just being like any other dad. I like Gran and Sandy because they don’t play. Every character is fun in their own way.

I encourage everyone to see this 3D animated movie whether you have kids or not. I can’t wait for the DVD and I hope there is a part two. It is in theaters Friday, March 22nd with an amazing all star cast including Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, Cloris Leachman, and Ryan Reynolds.

I’d like to thank Melissa and Denise of @themoms for the invite to this screening and for providing treats and gift bags for the kids. We also met with the filmmakers Kirk DeMicco and Chris Sanders, and Catherine Keener the voice of Ugga after the screening.

CINDERELLA ON BROADWAY

6 Mar

Cinderella on Broadway was the best family Broadway show of this year. It is different than what you expect and I mean that in a good, funny way. I encourage all ages to see it. The cast is incredible and the costume changes on stage is amazing. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen anything like that. When you see it you will know exactly what I’m talking about so pay attention when Cinderella magically changes her outfits. There are so many funny scenes we couldn’t stop laughing. The step mother and step sisters weren’t what you expected either. Sometimes they were nice to Cinderella and other times they were just what they seemed. The Prince was charming and very, very considerate and thoughtful just like Cinderella.

The entire cast did a wonderful job and played their parts to a tee. The fairy godmother gets to fly around stage which she told us in a q & a after the show that at first she was afraid of heights but she got used to it and now that’s the best part when she performs. She enjoys flying and being up high in the air.

The raccoon and fox had fun parts as well.

I would love to take the kids and see this again. I highly recommend seeing this with the family.
I want to thank @themoms for making this possible for us to see and providing gift bags and snacks for the parents and kids. We made it home before the clock stroke midnight!!!

Below are pictures and I also got pictures of some of the cast after the show. The Prince and Cinderella are on the left. The step mother is in black with the hat on. The character who plays the the Tree is in the green shirt. The fairy godmother h

#EscapeFromPlanetEarth @themoms @Jane

15 Feb

I was invited by @themoms to the screening of Escape From Planet Earth with the hilarious @Janemarielynch held at the Dolby 88 screening room. May I just say this 3D animated family film is the best movie of the year. It just came to theaters today February 15 so if you or your kids haven’t seen it buy tickets this weekend because the kids have 4 days off. Brendan Frasier plays an astronaut hero named Scorch Supernova to the blue alien population on planet Baab. There were quite a few more celebrities in the film such as Jessica Alba, William Shatner, Sarah Jessica Parker, Sofia Vergara, George Lopez, Ricky Gervais, and the wonderful Jane Lynch who played lo a giant cyclops like alien.

Scorch Supernova is on a mission and finds himself set up in a trap by the evil Shanker. It’s up to Scorch’s brother Gary to save him, and the planet.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jane Lynch at a Q and A after the screening and she is just the best. She is down to earth and very funny and I enjoyed her character in the movie very much but I really enjoyed meeting her and getting to know her better.

We also were given treats by Perrier, Driscoll’s Berries, and Sangria.

SHED, SHRED, AND GET AHEAD!! #StaplesOrgTips @Staples @TilsonPR @LivingFreeNYC

31 Jan

Today I knew I couldn’t pass up the great invitation I received from @livingfreenyc.com to attend an awesome event given by Staples to get organized for tax season. I personally thought I was doing pretty good at being organized until I came to this event and learned about tips and great products that will help me even more. When you go to Staples take the time to actually look at all the fabulous products they have because you don’t know what you’re missing. Martha Stewart’s Home Office with Avery line have file folders that will keep your tax forms and other important papers in order. They also look great with the beautiful designs you won’t get tired of looking at them. Very stylish!! There also are calendars to keep up with appointments.

One way I keep organized is by getting rid of junk mail as soon as it comes in the house. I don’t have a shredder but Staples has a wide selection of shredders including the most recent one that retails for $99. This is the Staples 10 sheet cross-cut shredder which comes with a pull out waste basket, and lock out key which disables blades for added safety. We had the pleasure of seeing how this machine operates up close and I’m sold. I would love this especially with 4 kids there’s paper everywhere. But if you’re not into doing your own shredding or don’t have the time or space Staples will do it for you for 79 cents a pound available at any Staples Copy & Print location. Wonderful!!

On display at today’s event were the Staples Better Binder with removable rings. I’ve never seen anything like this. The removable rings can hand and be labeled in any standard file cabinet. Genius!!! This is great for back to school kids as well. Where was this binder when I was in school?

The Arc notebooks were another favorite of mine. They come in different sizes and I love the poly material. The pages rip out easily and can be put back in with no mess. Presto!

We also can’t forget that Staples carry USB flash drives to keep files safe in case your laptop crashes. There are these cute animal USB flash drives by Entec that you could use to remember what’s stored on each one. Example: I would use the tiger for my pictures and the owl for my blogs. That way when I’m looking for something I know exactly which USB animal character to go to. Cute!!

Another item to bring home is the Turbo Tax software if you file your own taxes. E-file is included with this software.

I am so glad I was able to get more organized and pick up great tips and products and meet amazing people. Staples has everything you need for your office and school. Shed, Shred, and Get Ahead!!

Thank you for the amazing gift bags, raffles, pastries, and coffee as well.
