Are you ready for the exclusive…
Ray-Ban's District 1937 event was a night to remember! Celebrating the launch of their new materials (denim, velvet, leather, titanium & steel) with music performances by MS MR and the iconic Blondie. SIR Stage 37 was setup with DIY stations to either interact with art projects or create your own glasses. I did a few of the DIY projects before I made my way upstairs to the Ray-Ban Remix lounge. That's where I designed my custom made Ray-Bans, sipped cocktails with friends and bumped into some celebrities until it was performance time. I was beyond excited to see Blondie! Her and the band were awesome! It was amazing to hear her songs and realize how many are still used to this day in movies. They definitely transport you to a different place in your mind remembering where you were when you first heard it or what you were watching.
More about District 1937
The name DISTRICT 1937 recognizes the Garment District’s distinct heritage since the early 20th century as one of the centers of fashion and textile design and manufacturing, as well as Ray-Ban’s beginnings in 1937 as a manufacturer of speciality eyewear for the U.S. Air Force.
Each of the materials used in the new collection has had a long history and strong impact on both popular culture and technology, inspiring generations of artists, designers, craftspeople, and innovators. Guests attending DISTRICT 1937 will be able to view the work of contemporary artists inspired by these unexpected materials – such as Mark Evans’ stunning etched-leather canvases, Anne Lilly’s kinetic steel sculptures, and Ian Berry/Denimu’s denim masterpieces – highlighting the inventive use of these materials in popular culture.

We’ve had a lengthy love affair with Ray-Ban and have been wearing them for a long time,” said Blondie. “We love experimenting and
pushing the boundaries, not only in our music but with our look, so we’re excited to be working with Ray-Ban in celebration of their
latest reinvention - their new materials collection.”

As the award season continues on…let's unveil last night's red carpet recap from the 2014 Grammys. There were a lot of metallics, sheers, bold colors and a couple of robots on the carpet. I felt like the Grammys had its ups and downs during the extra long 3.5hr show. Let's start of with the high points starting with my favorite couples from the night. Jay Z + Beyoncé (left) and Calvin Harris + Rita Ora have won my best dressed pairs, Beyoncé is wearing Michael Costello and Rita is wearing Lavin. The ladies look exquisite and the men look extra dapper.

As for my favorite ladies in metallics Chrissy Teigen in Johanna Johnson, Ciara in Emilio Pucci and Taylor Swift in in Gucci. Although I wish Taylor would have done something more with her hair…that would have made the look as a whole perfection.
Oh and here are the robots I mentioned…aka Daft Punk
As you may know, last week T-Mobile announced that it’s expanding the home data coverage for most Simple Choice customers to include more than 100 countries, at no extra charge. To share this exciting news they partnered with superstar Shakira to kick off impending changes to benefit their customers! The concert was held in Bryant Park, which was all lit up in pink (T-Mobile's signature color). The celebration began with Swizz Beatz, who got the crowd hype as they anxiously waited for Shakira's arrival. I must say Shakira was amazing! She looked great, sounded the same as the radio (was not lip-syncing) and truly put on a show as she danced around the stage. Hope you enjoy the pics I took from the night!

I'm a little late on my posting, but that doesn't mean it was anything short of amazing! Earlier this month, my roomie and I went to Barclays to see King Bey for the Mrs. Carter Tour. I was beyond pumped and on the edge of my seat, waiting for the action to start! As we waited anxiously we shared some delicious snacks, like nachos and tacos then washed them down with cocktails. I love how Barclays only has only Brooklyn food venues, you can feel how proud and supportive the city is. Back to the concert….Beyoncé did not disappoint she performed all her hits and even a snippet of 'Bow Dow'. As an extra treat her hubby, Jay-Z came out to perform 'Tom Ford' and the crowd including myself, went crazy! It was like a dream, a day I'll always remember….

My 1st NYLON event as an It Girl was a blast! On Tuesday, June 11th I went to celebrate NYLON's new music issue featuring Avril Lavigne at Highline Ballroom. Not sure why my camera took such color pics, but I kind of love it! I had a great spot near the stage, right in the action for the live performance and bonded with other guests as we sang along. NYLON's music issue is out now!

Phillipe and David Blond, the designer duo behind The
Blonds are proud to announce that Beyonce will be wearing a custom made outfit
for her Mrs. Carter tour. The Blonds
have dressed Beyonce in the past various times, including her Upgrade music
video, promo shots for her album 4 packaging and various performances throughout
the past 5 years.
David Blond: “Beyonce exudes confidence, glamour and sensuality, so
we created something that would express those things in every way. A couture
look that would not only be stunning, but also reflect her personality and the
music from this segment of the Mrs. Carter Tour.”
Phillipe Blond: “Our original inspiration came from Tamara de
Lempicka's paintings of the female body.
It is also meant to give the illusion of being covered in crystallized
honey.
David Blond: “To start,
Phillipe hand-painted the suit on Beyonce to achieve the correct
shading. Then the piece was hand
embroidered with approximately 30,000 Swarovski crystals that took over 600
hours to apply.”
