Page Six!

The Topshop party I spun in Chicago last week ended up in Page Six!



There were no photographers allowed at the party, but my friend snapped a camera phone pic of me before my set...

Fashion's Night Out with Tiffany & Co.!

I'm so excited to be spinning at Tiffany & Co. for their Fashion's Night Out celebration tomorrow night! They've planned an awesome Studio 54 Theme for the night with a performance by Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester! If you're out and about on Fifth Avenue tomorrow, stop in and say hello!

Object(s) of My Desire!

I'm 100% obsessed with Stella Mccartney's fall 2011 collection right now. Two of my favorite pieces are her beautiful Lucia and Julietta dresses..

The Lucia

The Julietta

Both of these stunning dresses feature sheer panels of tulle with raised embroidered polka dots. Amazing! I'm debating whether or not to splurge and get the Lucia soon but you can pick either up HERE! Stay tuned!

Lanvin Dance Party USA!

LOVE this fab + funny video from Lanvin featuring models getting down to Pitbull while wearing looks from the Fall 2011 collection! Complete with a cameo from Alber himself at the end! That's how I like to dance...in head to toe Lanvin!

VMA Winners (plus who should have really won!)

I, like the rest of America, spent last night watching the MTV Video Music Awards. First of all let me say that Adele was robbed! "Rolling in the Deep" was, in my opinion, THE song of 2011 with countless remakes, remixes, mashups etc. How is it that the song/video only won behind the scenes awards? Ugh! Come on MTV!! Adele looked beautiful and not-at-all-pressed meanwhile in the audience. I guess she's used to being snubbed and slept on in America by now.

Beyond that I have to say that I really enjoyed the show! The performances were stellar including ones from Lady Gaga dressed as her scary, booze-swigging, alter ego Jo Calderon, and the newly pregnant Beyonce who was glowing and sounded great performing "Love on Top"! Her hubby Jay-Z and Kanye even rocked it out with a high energy performance of "Otis". I liked Kevin Hart's brief interludes and overall thought it was one of the better VMA's of late.

Now on the awards!! (Agree or disagree, these are my opinions folks!)

VIDEO OF THE YEAR
Katy Perry, “Firework”

Ok. I'll give Katy this one but really just based on the song. Quite honestly all of her videos look the same to me -- party scenes full of half naked pretend teens in angst. We get it Katy. She should definitely try a new concept next go round.

New Kiss Mix - "New Beat"

Finally finished my new indie mix called "New Beat"! Check it out below!

2011 Billboard Awards!

I was so tired that I fell asleep on the Billboard Awards last night BUT saw all the important performances online this morning. Britney and Rihanna did a sexed-up version of S&M, then Brit came back out to do "Till the World Ends" with Nicki Minaj later in the show. Pitbull, Kesha, Cee-lo, Black eyed peas, Far East Movement, and Taio Cruz all had cute performances. Beyonce killed it with her performance of "Run the World". I'm not a fan of recycled beats but I have to say with the video and all-out media blitz of the song, Beyonce just may have something. Peep the performance below:

Beyonce also won the newly created Millineuem Award for her career achievements and influence in the music industry. Other big winners were:

Top Artist of the Year: Eminem
Top Album Artist of the Year: Taylor Swift
Digital Artist of the Year: Justin Bieber
Top Female Artist of the Year: Rihanna
Top Male Artist of the Year: Eminem
Viral Innovator of the Year: Cee Lo Green
Radio Artist of the Year: Rihanna
Fan Favourite of the Year: Justin Bieber
Icon Award: Neil Diamond
Millennium Artist Award: Beyonce
Top New Artist: Justin Bieber
Top Rap Artist: Eminem
Top Pop Artist: Lady Gaga
Top R&B Artist: Usher
Top Country Artist: Taylor Swift
Top Latin Artist: Shakira
Top Dance Artist: Lady Gaga

Side note: Am I missing something with Eminem being named artist of the year?? I was totally underwhelmed by his last album, choice of singles, and videos. He's always so depressing. Anyway I guess I'm the only one, his album was the highest selling album of 2010 with 5.7 million copies sold.

Last Night At...the Karl Lagerfield Short Film Screening at The Tribeca Film Festival

Last night I attended the Tribeca Film Festival Screening of Karl Lagerfield's short film project starring Rachel Bilson for Magnum ice cream, a huge sponsor of the festival. It was packed with fashion heavyweights including (the) Anna Wintour, Christian Siriano, and of course Karl Lagerfield who made his trademark over-the-top grand entrance! I wore a Nicole Miller print dress, Chanel necklace, Gucci belt, Hermes bracelet, and CL Bianca pumps.
