C. WONDER: COME JOIN THE PARTY!

If you live in Manhattan, you've probably already heard the buzz, but for those of you elsewhere... this store is about to blow your mind!

The Grand Opening of C. Wonder is this weekend, and I will be there along with the gals from Sugarlaws and Song of Style to celebrate, style, and join in on all the fun and games!

I'll be at the store on Saturday from 11am - 4pm, so please stop by and say hello while you're checking out their fabulous goodies (did I mention the amazing price points?). You can find a preview of the store on their Facebook page (you have to see the rose-covered Vespa!) where the look is preppy, bright and fun. The store has everything from clothing to tabletop to a pet area! In other words, you have no excuse not to get in here! See you Saturday!

BRIZO, JASON WU AND NY FASHION WEEK...

I can't believe just one week ago I was getting ready to head to the Jason Wu show at Fashion Week. It's an experience people only dream of - to attend a show of such a high caliber that editors from every fashion magazine are perched in the front row alongside women you normally only see featured on the pages of The Sartorialist.

And why on earth, you might ask, was I there amongst the fashion elite? Good question. And the answer is...

Faucets. HUH? Yep, faucets (stay with me here). Brizo faucets to be exact. You see, they draw their inspiration from the fashion world just as many of us do. And because of that, they have been a steady sponsor of the amazingly talented Jason Wu for a number of years now. And because of that, they are currently designing what is (I assure you) a very gorgeous faucet and accessories line with the designer (and that's all I can say because I've been sworn to secrecy).

For the second year in a row, Brizo flew out a large group of us designers and bloggers to show off their goodies, let us in on their secret plans, and get our feedback on new prototypes (and you know how bloggers have an opinion on everything... let's just say it was a little crazy. They also broke us up into groups for a little design challenge that we presented to our judges...

Apparently I didn't do a good enough job of convincing them that our design was the BOMB. Perhaps it was just a little too predictable, but I gotta say, I could have lived in that bathroom.

But, I didn't really care because the best part of all this whirlwind was the fact that we got to go to the Jason Wu show, and yes, I pretty much thought I'd died and gone to heaven...

You know, just hangin' out with Hamish Bowles.

And socialites with the best wardrobes. And this gorgeous gal whose entire ensemble I was seriously coveting... (could I pleeeeeaaase get my hands on those miu miu heels?)

I think I have a promising career as a paparazzi, don't you?

Oh, and then there was THE SHOW.


I took a ton of photos - you can check them all out on the c+k facebook page! You can also see a bunch more of my candids and street style shots at the c.wonder facebook page.

These were some of my favorite looks...

The deep v neckline and flowing skirts just killed me. There was definitely a vintage undertone to the shape of the pieces, but such modern color, edgy accessories, and amazing detail (like the beaded collars!)

I have to give a huge thanks to the team at Brizo for sponsoring this trip and showing us a fabulous few days in the city. It was an experience to remember!

IN THE DETAILS: KIPS BAY SHOWHOUSE

Hello readers, Crissie here, from bug&Bear! Last week I had the opportunity to stop by the Kips Bay Decorator Show House, and I'm here to today to bring you a few of my favorite details!

The Show House, a neo-Federalist style home on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, is decorated every year by a group of top designers to benefit the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club. Each room reflects the individual style and taste of designer in charge of it's appearance, giving the four story mansion a very eclectic and exciting feel.

HAPPY (RECAP!) WEEKEND

I promised a little NYC recap last week, and here I am to deliver (better late than never??)

The quick little trip was a fantastic one, starting from the second I arrived. Thanks to the lovely people at Mr & Mrs Smith, the Rue girls got to enjoy the comfort and glamour of  The Gramercy Park Hotel where Crystal and I immediately indulged in a late night drink at the rooftop bar. The next morning, we were up and at 'em to speak on color trends at an event at NYIGF where we got to pop in to see a few of our favorite vendors including the new fabulous new textiles line by Coco Cozy!

After that it was down to business... pretty party business! Anne, Bri, Crystal and I dolled ourselves up for the Rue Issue #3 party hosted by The New Traditionalists in their gorgeous showroom. It was so wonderful to finally meet some readers and bloggers in person, and the event was a huge success. We ended the evening at the amazing home of Susan + William Brinson (see their space over on design*sponge) who were sweet enough to host a relaxing little after party.

Day two found us buzzing around the city shopping and photo shooting (thank you Trent Bailey!) before heading off to the High Gloss launch party and a very late-night dinner with the team. It was, as usual, an amazing few days in NYC... I cannot wait to be back in that city!
