Oscar de la Renta Trunk Show



When I heard about the Oscar de la Renta Spring Childrenswear trunk show, I immediately thought about checking it out for my little princess. Me and my peeps headed out to a plush address in Buckhead to check out these fabulous kiddie couture samples. The photos didn't even do these duds justice.  I especially loved the tailored sailor shorts and the multi-color exotic print! My sis was in favor of a deep watercolor print with rich purple and gold hues, which by the way comes in womens sizes also...hum I'll keep that in mind. Did someone say matching mommy & daughter outfits?

Suga Lane No Luvin' on Dave FM

Yeah I am single..... but I really don't have time for no shenanigans - I am toooo busy. I am so happy to have had the chance to give a lil' for youth diabetes, my sister took me out to the event at the Park Tavern. Thanks sis' you know the babes are close to my heart! After I picked up my lunch tix for four from DragonFly salon, I emailed Mara to introduce myself. Hum I communicated that "I'm a mom. environmentalist, curator of vintage fashion, songwriter .... I've done some different things - been a teacher, a catastrophe insurance adjuster in the gulf [u.s.] ...and yeah I am single and ready to mingle" ....and of all the things to talk about .... we only got a chance to discuss my lack of luvin'! Our interview was the last radio free lunch and quite an emotional day around there. My family had some yummy lunch.

Topping the Week off at Saks Event w/ Robert Verdi - stylist to the stars [like Eva Longoria]

What a fun & busy week! Lunch at Dave FM, the Oscar De La Renta Childrens' Spring Collection trunk Show and meeting "stylist to the stars" Robert Verdi at Saks 5th Ave.! Too much fun!

  

Suga Lane w/ Robert Verdi - stylist to the stars
He is such a cutie!

We had a great time at the event at Saks on Wednesday Sept 27th, beautiful models in varying designer threads, tasty cocktails - which the bartender divulged to include grand marnier, peach shnapps, lemonade, and I think vodka... tasty ...and of course stylist Robert Verdi - who liked my boots and maybe he liked my dress - I'm not sure. We [me and my assistant] missed the fashion show, but did arrive in time to see some of the models and enjoy ourselves. Mr. Verdi made a name dropping comment as to his scarf - which was this gorgeous black and white deal with a skulls motif -- anyway it was given to him by the late Alexander McQueen before he died. Spooky? Maybe huh, but nonetheless an attention grabber of a piece. I wasn't so sure about his shirt... hum what was that - plaid or checks? Maybe I really didn't get a good look.... because my assistant had a differing opinion, commenting  "oh yeah he had a really cool shirt". So maybe I missed something.  It was probably his big smile that sidetracked me from a thorough inspection of his gear.
