Columbia Sportswear Drainmaker

Columbia Sportswear Drainmaker™ shoes have been my alternative to wearing long rain boots in the summer and into the fall season. The functional, fashionable and comfortable Drainmaker has allowed me to battle through thunderstorms and large puddles in NYC. My Drainmaker shoes in Wind/Fuschia/Rose look great with leggings or jeans, but can also be worn with a dress or skirt, to and from the office.

The Drainmaker™ is a hybrid shoe that combines the lightweight comfort of a running shoe with the quick-dry capabilities of a water shoe. I was looking for a shoe I can easily change out of and into a pair of 4" heels for those daytime previews or after-work events, without worrying about carrying bulky rain shoes or getting drenched in flip flops or flats.

Features include breathable open cell mesh and durable TPU toe cap, a Techlite™ midsole with built-in drainage ports in the heel and forefoot to allow water to instantly escape, fully drainable footbed and a siped, lugged outsole for extra traction made with Omni-Grip® Wet Grip rubber.

For those weekend trips away from the city, the Bug Shield Sporty 1/2 Zip in Wind matches perfectly with the Drainmaker. It features built-in Insect Blocker technology® and Omni-Shade UPF 50 sun protection.

Lucky Brand Fall 2012

Here's a look at Lucky Brand's Fall 2012 ad campaign, shot by world-renowned photographer Alasdair McLellan. The campaign, entitled 'See Denim Differently' features supermodels David Gandy and Magdalena Frackowiak.

I'm always looking for a new pair of skinny jeans with a slender, slim fit, like Lucky Brand's super stretch Charlie Skinny and Cate Stacked Skinny in colorful washes and feather and lace prints.

In addition to new denim fits, Lucky Brand Fall 2012 goes tribal with striking ikat and scarf prints on tie-front blouses, Mayan tops and pleated tanks. Animal prints are back for fall in cheetah, leopard and snakeskin prints. The fall collection also features 70s inspired peasant tops, lace and crochet detailing for a vintage feel and boho chic fringe crossbody and hobo bags.

Jewelry includes tassel and multi layer necklaces, peacock and owl pendants, chandelier and stone drop earrings, stackable rings and adjustable slide knot bracelets.

For shoes you'll find everything from sparkle or printed flats and colorblock wedges to western-inspired and biker booties and tall boots in distressed leather.

Sir Ivan's La La Land New Single and Video Music Release Party

Last Saturday was my first outing to Sir Ivan's Castle in the Hamptons, dubbed the "Playboy Mansion of the East Coast'.

Electro-pop recording artist Sir Ivan welcomed guests at La La Land in celebration of his new single and music video release on his Peaceman, featuring a special performance by Sir Ivan.

Attendees were dressed as exotic animals and creatures for the jungle-themed party, as they enjoyed hors d'oeuvres and dinner catered by Kutsher’s Tribeca, champagne and open-bar, merry-go-round rides and poolside lounging.

I loved the party palace decor, bug carts, heated pool and friendly atmosphere. Sir Ivan really knows how to throw a party!
