Happy Earth Day!!! Today’s Fashionable Friend Friday are the Gurus of cleaning, Gwen Whiting and Lindsay Boyd of the Laundress. These two amazing ladies started this company after long stints at Ralph Lauren and Chanel. They were finding that the dry cleaner was ruining many of their prize garments. So as graduates of the Cornell University’s Fiber Science, Textile, and Apparel Management and Design Program they saw the opportunity to advance the world of fabric care. Their products are incredible. I love each one. I am addicted to their Wrinkle Release and everything gets sprayed with their Fabric Fresh. Their flagship store on Prince St is so gorgeous and I love going there to just look around, watch cleaning demonstrations and learn new techniques.

Last week a had a very special event to attend…a meet and greet with Gwyneth Paltrow!!!! I would say she is probably the top of the heap for this type of blog. Gwyneth is perfection. There was a book signing for her new cookbook… It’s All Easy: Delicious Weekday Recipes for the Super Busy Home Cook. I have to say that it is a really great book. The recipes are just that, easy and family friendly. Not only was it so cool to meet Gwyneth and talk about her blog, Goop, which I LOVE!!!, the people that I met at that night were pretty amazing as well. To buy the book, click HERE

As I always say on this blog, you NEVER know who you are going to meet. One day at one of my favorite restaurants, I started talking to the prettiest lady sitting at the table next to me. She started to tell me about her career and I was so impressed. Meet Carrie Brudner. She is an FIT grad who started an event called Healthy Guru. Her media sponsors are Shape and Social Life magazine. Her Healthy Guru is an annual event that will be held in the summer in Southampton in July. The event will start at 9 and feature all of the hottest exercise classes, fashion, instructors, trainers, makeup and hair looks and trends in healthy eating. The day will continue into evening, with a cocktail party and fashion show and an after party at one of Southampton’s hottest night spots. Carrie has asked NS LIFESTYLES to be part of the day with tons of lifestyle tips and treats so stay tuned!!!!! For more info on the Healthy Guru, click HERE.
