Hot Fashion

I stopped by La Palapa for tamales and a margarita and I see this girl wearing this lovely green wool mini dress with the back out.  I recognize the dress from a Page Six Magazine spread with Gossip Girl’s Jessica Szohr.  Sure enough, I asked the girl if it was the same dress designed by Chris Benz and she said yes.  I learned two things tonight: fashion is everywhere and it sucks to type when your thumb has a hangnail.

At Hugo Boss

There’s a nice jazz trio, the Brian Newman Jazz Trio. Very classy.

At Betsey Johnson

Girls are getting their hair flat-ironed.

Fashion Week Is Here

Tonight, I started the Fashion Week parties by stopping by Fashion 2.0 and Ideeli event at the W Tuscany. I spotted Nichelle Gainer and Nichelle Pace as well as stylist to the stars Philip Bloch. It was great seeing Brooke Moreland of Fashism and Vera Sweeney of I’m Not Obsessed.
