More NYC...

I'm a sucker for jewelry!

Zoe enjoying Top Shop...

SO let me begin to tell you guys how BRIGHT this women was! I was sitting where she was and OBVI there isn't enough space for the both of us. When this women got onto the train she had the audacity to TO SIT ON MY LAP - Zoe and Tam were sitting across from me and their eyes widen like they seen a ghost! I was shocked and all I could say was "are you sick????" - Homegirl had nerve to tell ME she isn't going to stand up... :O SERIOUSLY???? Instead of asking me may I sit here, I would've gotten up but instead she wanted to give me a taste of that Yankee attitude! As she is still sitting on my lap, and me not having much of a choice... I had to tell her about herself - letting her know that ikea had full length mirrors!

I WANT this light fixture ;;)

"TAM did we just stumble into heaven??"

"Excuse me sir $26 for Disaronno, are you guys sick? - I LOVE THIS COUNTRY"

Let's have a toast to success...

We miss you Pabs!!

Puddle Splashing 101

Reese seems to think that it is essential for everyone to know how to make a proper splash in a puddle! LOL So everyone pay close attention; class is in session!!!

Caution: Do not try this at home without adult supervision!*


Step 1: Strategic Planning
Make sure that you analyze the puddle and choose a spot that is not too deep nor too shallow




Step 2: Prepare for Take Off
Make sure that you walk as far away from the puddle as possible. Then run as fast as you can with LONG STRIDES




Step 3: Blast Off
Launch into the air as high as possible. Remember, the higher you go the better the splash!





Step 4: Landing
Landing is the most difficult part of the splashing process. If done incorrectly splasher may injure themselves or wet innocent bystanders. Make sure that you land gracefully with both feet pointed.

And Tadaaa!!!! There you have it... The Perfect Splash :)

You all were amazing students and thanks for joining us for 'PUDDLE SPLASHING 101'

Monster in the Subway

Now I'm usually not much of a subway person... The smell, the germs and the fact that its hot as hell down there are complete turn offs. But in order to really get a feel for NYC we decided to get it in! So were walking down into the subway to catch the train and we hear this loud and thunderous booming noise. Now im getting a little freaked out and im just about ready to turn around and just walk the rest of the way in my heels! We decide to thug it out and keep going. My heart starts beating like crazy as we turn the corner to approach the platform. We hang a left and this is what we saw...

Surprisingly, the New York subways were pretty clean and and let's just say we witnessed some very interesting characters down there. I loved every moment of it! Here's some more from our subway adventures.

Reese's new BFF!!! LOOOL

Alta Moda was present at New York Fashion Week

I was blessed to be able to attend 4 shows this past week for "Nolcha fashion week, New York 2010" - Here are the high lights of my favs...

Vivienne Pash - This collection was very feminine. I love the unique cut of each garments and how the fabrics used draped the models figures perfectly. As a bonus each piece can be worn on many occasions.  

SempreLei - has a hispanic aesthetic. The use of daring colours and carefully placed tassles makes this line fun and flirty, without being too overpowering. The lightweight and   fabrics add to the femininity of each garment. 

Ethical - This collection doesn't have a theme; nonetheless, there are some gorgeous and dynamic pieces! I love that there is a boho-chic mixed with indie aesthetic expressed throughout her line.
