Guilty#1…Guilty#2…Guilty#3…

I woke up a few days ago and found one of my all time favorite pairs of vintage shoes chewed up! I was so upset until I saw their faces. How could I get mad at this sight?

My LOVE for CHANEL…

I met up with my friend Tracy while I was in LA. The last time I saw Tracy was a few years ago in Hong Kong. It’s crazy how fast time flies, because it really felt like it was just yesterday we were in HK hanging out in her shop-TRACE (one of my first HK accts!). Fast forward 3yrs later, we’re in LA having drinks and Tracy is telling me all about her new exciting projects.

Tracy had the cutest pair of CHANEL earrings on when we met for dinner. Every fashionista loves CHANEL! If you’re going to splurge on any brand, you can never go wrong with CHANEL because the pieces are classic!

Check out the accessories I’m drooling over from CHANEL’s Spring ‘09 collection…

Tracy, thanks for such a FUN night! We have to do it again the next time I’m in LA LA LAND or when you visit NYC!

Back in LA LA LAND…

I’m back in LA LA LAND! I can’t believe how crazy my schedule has been. I caught an early flight out to LA on Sunday (was hurting really bad from the previous night), and hit the ground running right when I got off the plane.

Here is a quick recap of my Sunday afternoon…

It’s so nice to be back in the warm weather. I’m so OVER the cold weather in NYC! It’s hard to be creative and design when everything around you is so depressing. I’m happy to be back, but my work week and schedule are crazy the next few days. I have a ton of meetings…meetings…meetings! Story of my life….sighhh…

BadAss Balmain!!!

Every fashionista has been drooling over these Balmain shoes. They’re so freakin HOT, but will cost you a fortune-$2300! The crazy part is that they’re practically sold out everywhere! Wow! I was so bummed that the knock offs from Zaras got pulled off the shelves before I even got my hands on them . Those of you who were lucky enough to snatch a pair (TRACY!)….I envy you:)!

Check out what I’m drooling over today…these BADASS BALMAINS!

dinner w/creative minds…

Last week was a crazy week for me. Between getting ready for Market Week LA, photographing the new deliveries for the new online shop and making time for my personal life…I was exhausted!

Saturday night my friend Steven invited me to his restaurant for a small get together. It was crazy because I ended up running into some old friends and familiar faces. Such a SMALL WORLD in NYC!

Steven, thanks for inviting me to the dinner party! I had a great time…too good of a time =). I was hurting on my way to the airport the next morning, but it was all worth it =)!

MY BIG 3-0 Part#3 in MIAMI!

I ended my 30th Bday in MIAMI. It felt like I was celebrating my 21st Bday all over again =). So weird to say I’m 30…ha. My girlfriend said to me- “Your 20s you’re trying to be FABULOUS, while in your 30s you are fabulous!!!

Here I am having a FABULOUS time in MIAMI!

So excited to rock my long dresses in MIAMI!

What a way to close my 30th birthday up! Big THANKS to Terri, Nino and Tim for making my 30th Bday soooo much fun. You guys super ROCK! Thank you so much for taking care of us and hooking us up in MIAMI!!! You guys are the best! Next time you’re in NYC, dinner is on me!

MY BIG 3-0 Part#2 in DR

The travel bug finally bit me again! After my BDAY BASH in NYC I jetted off to Dominican Republic the next morning with my best friends for some much needed R&R-a great way to start my 30th year!

Check out all the cool things we did while we were there-I HEART DR!

I had an amaaaazing time. The beach was beautiful, the people were sweethearts, and riding through the town was truly an experience to remember!

We had a connection flight in MIAMI on our way back to NYC…BUT, instead of connecting onto our flight, we decided to stay in MIAMI and end my birthday week the same way we started it, with a BIG BANG! Since we’re there already, might as well party and hang out right? I’m all about living life to its fullest! You only live once=) Whooohoooo! MIA here we come…part#3!

MY BIG 3-0! Part#1

The past few months has been so crazy! I’ve been crazed with trade shows, moving offices, working on the new online shop, restructuring everything in my life, and trying to make time to be creative and design! Whew! So there you go…all my excuses on why there’s been such a delay on my blog:(. Oh, and the main excuse for the delay is trying to learn word press…big URGHHH!

Besides all the business stuff, I recently celebrated my BIG 3-0! I wanted to begin this new and exciting chapter of my life with a BIG BANG! You know it had to be memorable, so I made it a LONG week celebration in 3 cities =)!

I kicked off my bday celebration in the most amaaaazing city in the whole wide world…N-Y-C baby!

Check out pix from my memorable…memorable…fun bday bash night! We literally stayed at VERLAINE till the lights were turned on, music turned off, and the bartenders looked at us like “you guys have to go home!”

Thank you to all my friends for making it such a fun memorable 3-0 for me! A BIG THANKS to MOOSH and JANET for planning and making it the best BDAY BASH I’ve ever had!

XOXO,
KIM
