Fashionable Friend Friday

Fashion Week is always one of my favorite times in New York City, since I absolutely LOVE fashion.  The shows are always so great to follow.  So many of the big name designers are live streaming their shows now, so if you are not lucky enough to get a coveted ticket, you can still be part of the action.  During Fashion Week there is so much more going on besides the fashion shows. During this week you can get flooded with invitations to events, openings, promotions, new product roll outs, demonstrations and so much more.  It is hard to choose what to do.  When I got an invite to meet Vogue Editor Grace Coddington, I knew it was something I could not miss.  I have been following Grace for so long.  I really admire how talented she is and always look out for her amazing features in Vogue magazine each month.  Also, after seeing The September Issue how could you not love Grace????  Also she is a total Cat person (see her cute cat illustrations below), and you know how much I love animal lovers!!!!!   She was so much more than I ever imagined her to be.  So chic and fabulous.  Grace introduced us to her new fragrance Grace by Comme des Garcons.  It smells heavenly!!  She also has an incredible book out Grace:The American Vogue Years that showcases her work of her last 15 years at Vogue.  And if you missed her memoir, it is a MUST READ, you can buy it HERE.   I have to say as a blogger it was one of my best days ever!!!!!  Bon Weekend!!!

Book Club Monday

Today’s Book Club Monday choice is the New York Times best seller The Girl Before:A Novel by JP Delaney. Here’s this story…you are going to LOVE it………. 

This psychological thriller spins one woman’s seemingly good fortune, and another woman’s mysterious fate, through a kaleidoscope of duplicity, death, and deception.




SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY RON HOWARD




Please make a list of every possession you consider essential to your life.


The request seems odd, even intrusive—and for the two women who answer, the consequences are devastating.


EMMA

Reeling from a traumatic break-in, Emma wants a new place to live. But none of the apartments she sees are affordable or feel safe. Until One Folgate Street. The house is an architectural masterpiece: a minimalist design of pale stone, plate glass, and soaring ceilings. But there are rules. The enigmatic architect who designed the house retains full control: no books, no throw pillows, no photos or clutter or personal effects of any kind. The space is intended to transform its occupant—and it does.


JANE

After a personal tragedy, Jane needs a fresh start. When she finds One Folgate Street she is instantly drawn to the space—and to its aloof but seductive creator. Moving in, Jane soon learns about the untimely death of the home’s previous tenant, a woman similar to Jane in age and appearance. As Jane tries to untangle truth from lies, she unwittingly follows the same patterns, makes the same choices, crosses paths with the same people, and experiences the same terror, as the girl before.

Fashionable Friend Friday

Today’s Fashionable Friend Friday is Cate Blanchett.  OMG is she such an amazing actress…I have watched Blue Jasmine at least 1,000 times.  Cate just nails it…totally!!!!!!  When I got an offer to see her on broadway, in the limited run play, The Present, I knew I had to go.  I did not know the story nor what to expect but I did know that Cate was going to be amazing…which she was.  I definitely recommend this production but I also recommend doing your homework and reading up on it.  It is based upon Chekhov’s Russian play Platonov and it takes sometime to get all the characters straight but once you do, you will LOVE it, especially Cate!!!  And I have a Present for you, the show runs until March 16th and HERE is a link for discount tickets.
