CA countdown is over….officially here! LOVING the sunny weather!! Has been WILD so far!! Yesterday I spent the day with my girlies. We went thrifting like crazy…and the to our FAVORITE store ROSS DRESS FOR LESS <<<——i’m sure you were thinking that as the best store ever too! lol. Why is it the best? Well…on this particular trip I walked out with a pink PIMP CUP!! <—-best thing ever!! …which brings me to Bamboozle….IT’S THIS WEEKEND!!! I’ll have my pimp cup in hand….and the New York Couture mini-shop will have THE WHOLE NEW COLLECTION (even pieces not yet released online yet), as well as never before seen pieces!! YOU WILL LOVE….so be there!!! Below is the super cool Bamboozle map they just released! I’ll tweet where our tent is…so make sure you follow us: twitter.com/newyorkcouture
A few weeks ago it was the edge of winter/spring. The last snow of the season had fallen…and we did a final goodbye to the cold/snow with a shoot. Sharon tk came out for the fun…came out magical!! Hope you like!!
One of my ALL TIME FAVORITE movies is Romeo and Juliet with Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio. I think the whole thing is MAGICAL! LOVEEEE the music….costumes…EVERYTHING about it!!! Does real romance like that exist? God I hope so!!! I think my take on the EPIC love story came out purrfect!!! Samii plays the part of Juliet wonderfully!
Below Juliet is dreaming of her lover -boy. Dreams are sweet! …so is Juliet
The last scene in the movie is my favorite….where Juliet is lying in the Church…candles everywhere. These photos are actually taken in my bedroom. As you can see i’m a total romantic fan!!! I think the fact that if Juliet woke up seconds earlier….or stopped Romeo quicker…they would have lived happily ever after is insane to think about!! Or would the Capulet-Montague battle continued even with their love for one another???
Yesterday was super fun!!! Besides the fact I’m BEYOND excited stupid winter is over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was around 70 degrees in NY yesterday so we seized the day and did an outdoor photoshoot….FINALLY!!!! Everything was BRIGHT, brights, and a side of bright!! <— just how I like it!

Sorry for not having anything up sooner. I’m still traumatized from everything that happened on Friday. The stories you are emailing me are HORRIFIC!!!! I’m waiting to hear back from my lawyer, but regardless I plan to take them to court!!!!! AKA….don’t fuck with me and my peeps!!!! …but life goes on…I don’t have time to “grieve” the loss of my show/birthday party….but revenge will taste extra sweet once I get some!!! Soo much going on!!

Runway photos : )
All my sexy fans and friends….LOVE YOU ALL!!!
LOTS OF FUN PICS!!!!
So (my mom would add the word “buttons” here…lol)…the night before we had a fitting at the club…which I will not name b/c they don’t need any promotion for being such fuckers!! Everyone had lots of fun trying on the clothes. I…on the other hand…was super stressed b/c LOTS of pieces were not finished!! My philosophy is hope for the best…so I tried not to drive myself too crazy! Bess had these super big boobies…so she was UBER sexy in whatever she put on!!! And notice Bianca’s pants in the photo on the right (below)…they weren’t pants yet…so I stayed up til 5am sewing those suckers!!
…seee how SEXY (or “pexy” if you’re my girl Kendra…wink wink) Bess looks in the Birthday Cake Dress!! So she wore that bad boy for the show : )
…so after staying up until 5am sewing…I got up the next day to finish the guest list…which was CRAZY long…make the cd’s for the show music…pack up the pieces I finished the night/am…and off to the show to get hair and makeup started!!!
Look how happy Dan looks to be there…lol
One of the makeup artists had an emergency so my baby doll Raquel jumped in to lend a helping hand. I’ve seen her do her makeup plenty…but never anyone else…GIRL HAS SKILLS!!
Kristin and Dee were a tag-team WWE duo when it came to the show hair!!! LOVED how the looks came out!!
…and wait….
…best part is….you can get your hands on these looks on Kristin’s etsy page HERE (if you don’t see them listed…just check back…they may be not listed yet) : )
My lover Sharon tk was SOO sweet and made me vegan cookies and cupcakes. Below is one of my TWO trays of the cookies…we hid the cupcakes. Let me tell you…SOOO YUMMY!! She made me peanut butter and jelly cupcakes….creative and yummy…my 2 favorite things!! : )
BJ was getting all outta control…he was SUCH FUN to have at the show!!!! Sharon looks hot too!!
All my besties came out and helped! My bff George was super helpful! If you came…he was my door bitch…lol. Below he is being sexual with a pocketbook clutch….lol….it’s not his…but I wish it were!!!

Presents are so fun!!!
Where to even begin?? I wanted to do a posting about everything yesterday…but if you live in/near NY you know how CRAZY the weather has been the past 2 days. I ended up losing power in my house…and got back internet/TV/phone a bunch of hours ago. I felt like I was living in 1892…there was seriously NOTHING to do…lol! How did people live before computers and TV’s!!!! Outta control!!
I was hoping this was all a bad nightmare and I would wake up…and have my “real” show…but I haven’t woken up yet….
I want to THANK all you fabulous New York Couture fans and friends for coming to my show and birthday party on Friday. Words cannot express how TRULY sorry I am about how the venue Greenhouse treated all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For those of you that haven’t already heard…Greenhouse started kicking people out of the venue BEFORE the fashion show event started…and then as soon as the show ended they turned off the music, turned on the lights and kicked EVERYONE out. Why? They said everyone was not adhering to the Greenhouse dress code. I am embarrassed and sad that people that rude and hurtful even exist!!!!! You are all so wonderful and I am BEYOND grateful to have each and every one of you in my life!! I feel TERRIBLE because I know many of you traveled near and far to attend and even got me AMAZING birthday presents!! Not to mention my AMAZING team of models, hair stylists, makeup artists, assistants, and so on that worked SOOO hard on the show!!! I swear I will find a way to make it up to all of you!!! : )
It’s a major blow to my heart because I worked so hard on this collection, and was so PROUD to share it will all of you…and they took that from us!!!
I plan to seek legal action against Greenhouse (and that is why I cannot say too much as of right now). I know a lot of you have nightmare stories from Friday. I would genuinely appreciate it if you emailed us what happened to you so we can start building a case against them!!!!! Please email: info@newyorkcouture.net and include your name and telephone number (if you would like to be anonymous we will respect your wishes as well).
Again, I LOVE each and every one of you!!!! Photos and video of the show will be up soon…will let you know of course when they are. For now feel free to check out all the awesome photos from the show on Metromix.com HERE
Again I love YOU all sooo much!! YOU are why I create!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The MOST popular event in NY today/this week!!!!!!!!! <—- that’s crazy!!!! It’s OFFICIALLY Official!!! PARTY DAY!!!!!! FYI for tonight….COME EARLY!!!!…there are a zillion emails….and it’s the MOST POPULAR event on going.com!!!! I just want to make sure everyone gets in : )
Also…the show will be through the WHOLE club…so it doesn’t matter what floor you party on….b/c you’ll get to see everything anywhere you are : )
Last…prizes will be given out after the show…say 20 mins after…at least that’s the plan so far! Need the show info? Go HERE
IT’S MY PARTY AND I’LL CRY IF I WANT TO!!!!!!!!!!!!
So everyone keeps asking me “What do you want for your birthday?”
**********You don’t have to bring anything***************…but if you want to…These are some of my favorite things right now!! I know everyone has a budget…so fun stuff from $1.99 and up!! lolol. You can also do a good deed as my present and give to your favorite charity…. or to mine: animal charities!!!
I LOVE animals! You already know that! So I collect funny or realistic stuffed animal dolls, animal household items, and more!! The website, The Jungle Store, has LOTS of fun stuff…and things are CHEAP…like $4.99!!! HERE
Another affordable present is the Marzipan Animals they sell at Dean and Deluca in NYC. They are only $6 and SOOooooo cute!! I usually go to the one on Broadway in Soho.
