they said we could have it all… they just didn't tell us how.
Another Fashion Week has come and gone we can breathe a sigh of relief for a few months, enjoy the spring and summer before the onslaught in September. This month, quiet as it was, was not without its fair share of kerfuffle so here goes. 1. New York is just too loooooooong!!! Listen I love…

I didn’t catch much of the fashion month after New York because of life interruptions, I didn’t see any shows in London, *hangs head* and Milan, and I just about managed to catch one show in Paris.

From the very first moment I saw one of Prabal Gurung’s creations, one that episode of The City where he asked Olivia Palermo to wear that dress, I fell in love with him. He knows how to dress a woman but most importantlly he LOVES to dress a woman. Lives for it. Although in past…
