Weekend Real Estate Stalking

posted on : September 19, 2015 posted by : nicolesteinthal 1 Comment

Our obsession with the Hamptons and Grey Gardens, in particular, continues.  I read just last week that Grey Gardens is available for rental during the summer months.  It was purchased from the Beales, in 1979, when it was in the worst possible condition.  The house was overrun with cats and racoons,  the ceilings were caving in, as well as the roof.  The new owner wanted to restore the grand home to all of its original blue blood royalty, even keeping with the original colors and prints of the home.  The rumor is that the ghost Big Eadie still visits the house from time to time.  How I would love to just spend one summer in Grey Gardens channeling all the splendor of fabulous Big and Little Edie!

Box of Style

One of the best parts of fashion week was having my Rachel Zoe Box of Style arrive in the mail.  The Box of Style is Ms. Zoe’s own subscription surprise box that arrives at the beginning of each season.  Since the summer box sold out within hours, I had to wait for the fall box.  The items in each box are chosen by Rachel herself.  She promises to include fashion, beauty, and lifestyle items that you will be “OBSESSED” with.  For more information on this subscription click HERE.  Let’s see what was in the box that arrived….I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!

During our visit to the Fashion Week HQ we met the Glam Squad.  They styled our hair and touched up our makeup in their fun pink van.  The Glam Squad is a travelling salon.  You can call them wherever you, anytime, anyplace, in the city, and have your hair styled and a full makeover done.  They come to you and voila you get glam.  If can read all about the Glam Squad HERE.

The Standard Grill

One of the other highlights of fashion week was having lunch at the Standard Grill.  There is always great people watching at this chic restaurant but during fashion week it is really one of the best places to be.  Table after table is filled with models and the who’s who of the fashion world.  I actually was there twice during fashion week and each time was better than the last.  If you are visiting New York City, the Standard Grill is a MUST!!!

Chanel’s New Boyfriend

posted on : September 15, 2015 posted by : nicolesteinthal 0 Comment

Another highlight of Fashion Week was the unveiling of the Chanel Boy.Friend watch.  It is a gorgeous tank style watch that comes in a variety of metal choices, strap colors, and sizes.  The design of the face of the watch is based upon the jeweled top of the Chanel no 5 perfume bottle.  We visited the incredible pop-up introduction, installed just for fashion week.  The watch is so beautiful…I tried it on and fell in love!

NY Fashion Week Head Quarters

posted on : September 14, 2015 posted by : nicolesteinthal 0 Comment
Last Friday, I was invited to check out the Fashion Week Head Quarters on 14th St in the uber chic Meatpacking District.  This is the new hub set up for the week, which will host speakers, art installations and broadcast the shows on large screens for all to see.  I was lucky enough to join my friend Lucy Sykes for a book signing.  We enjoyed meeting Fern Mallis, founder of fashion week and have her sign her book for us.  We mingled with fashionistas, talked fashion, and future events.  It was so much fun to be among the creme de la creme of the fashion world, even if it was just for a few hours!!!

Also speaking of fashions, our W by Worth Sponsor, Susanne Carroll is holding a trunk show of all of their gorgeous fall line.  Please see the invite below and make an appointment to try on all the new looks!!!
