Eagle in the Sky

Pamela Love Talon Cuff, Fashion, Hot Pink Neon nail polish

ModToast Talon Cuff (Style Inspired by Pamela Love)

The beautiful company behind this Talon Cuff are animal supporters, and I love that. Read more about them here.

With FAll TV back in schedule, what are you tuning into or tuning out? I've started getting back into: 90210 and Gossip girl, of course. Added to my queue: Revenge, The Playboy Club and PanAm. I still haven't had a chance to watch: The Secret Circle, Ringer, Terra Nova or Hart of Dixie. Any good? Reviews? I also can't wait for October 23rd to see what Once Upon a Time is all about. :)

P.S. I was recently interview by I-ELLA. You can read my answers here.

Today I'm sharing a detail shot from a shoot I recently took part in for a Style Column I'm writing in a local magazine (more to come on that soon!) In the meanwhile, I can't gush enough over the jewelry I got to play with on set. All courtesy of Bailey's Fine Jewelry in Raleigh.

On another note, it's mind boggling that tomorrow I'll be flying into New York for Fashion Week again. I can't wait. It seems like just yesterday I was there viewing the Fall collections. What can I say? I can't get enough... I LOVE NEW YORK!!

I promise to come back with plenty of pictures and news.

Tweet me (@fashionchalet) if you're in the area next week, maybe we can meet up? I'll be staying just a stone's throw away from Lincoln Center for the next few days. :)

(P.S.)

I remember being in school when September 11 happened. Our Teacher was frantically talking on the phone with his wife :( he let us go home early. After driving back, I learned about the second plane crash.... my prayers are with those families affected by this horrific tragedy.

Studded Bow Bag + John Hardy Tiger Cuff

Whilst working on a new Project, slated for Fall. I had the pleasure of stumbling across a couple of really cool local boutiques. First up? Test driving this adorable studded bag with a bow flap closure. Very Phillip Lim 3.1 and a touch Marc Jacobs. And the silver cuff is oodles of fun to wear. I was first drawn to the design for its edgy tiger stripes and intricate bamboo detail inside. I'm not a big jewelry person, I tend to go for turquoise, silver and funky, chunky pieces. I like edgy accessories. When I want to tone things down a bit, I stick to classic staples. "Diamonds are a girl's best friend" after all... ;)
