Dorky Fashion: Social Network Sneakers by Adidas

I know these shoes are flat and on top of that they are sneakers.  If you are expecting to find Prada or Louis Vuitton please go to another post immediately because it is all flip flops and hoodies here.  In a world dominated by social networking, divas have essentially become dorks.  My dorky side is completely obsessed with Adidas new line of social network themed sneakers.  The “you can’t buy just one pair of shoes” rule totally applies here because as a blogger aspiring to online fame, I am almost always on Facebook and Twitter at the same time promoting my ever so glamorous socialite agenda.  Therefore, I need both pairs of shoes to accurately express my daily life.  If I really wanted to take a major fashion risk I could purposely mismatch my shoes wearing a different one on either foot stylishly expressing the act of constantly being on two social networks at once.  Who knows?  That look could go viral and become the next fashion craze.  It is ironic that in the mist of my determined pursuit of high fashion and leisure, I rediscovered my inner geek.  The other day, I even wrote I line of code as I watched the epic movie, Troy, and drank a Red Bull which is a total geek move if you ask me.  I also plan on reading The Facebook Effect in the hope that it will help me think more like an Internet entrepreneur.  Just as every fashionista should know their Coach from their Gucci they should also know their HTML from their JavaScript.

Fashion’s Night Out 2010 at Catherine Malandrino

Fashion is power!  It has a profound power over me.  For my first ever Fashion’s Night Out as a New Yorker, I sipped champagne and organic cocktails at the beautiful Catherine Malandrino store in the world-famous Meatpacking District. The clothes looked even more amazing on this special night and the store came alive with the sounds of a DJ spinning the hot tunes of today and decades past.  It was a good thing we got there early because by 8:30 p.m. there was a line out the door.

Not only did I get a free bag to commemorate my experience, I also had my hair done compliments of Blow, the New York blow dry bar.  After having a ball at the House of Catherine Malandrino, I made my way over to the Apple store to celebrate fashion through a photo shoot powered by Mac technology.  It was a night worthy of socialite status.  Anyone who has ever dreamed of fashion and all it stands for could feel the magic in the air.  I must admit, however, that I did commit a fashion faux pas when I took off my heels in the middle of the store because my feet needed a break.  But, like I always say, a socialite never compromises or explains herself.  So whatever.  I have already begun to count down the days until Fashion’s Night Out 2011!

Fashion’s Night Out is Here!

September 10, 2010 is finally here and in a few hours, the fashion community is about to take the Meatpacking District by storm with the awesome array of Fashion’s Night Out events going on this evening.  I personally like to refer to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week which began yesterday as the ‘Socialite Superbowl.  Though the actual Superbowl is only one night out of the year, us Fashionistas need an entire week to celebrate the latest fashions along with our general awesomeness.  Get set for a crazy week of runway shows, shopping, blogging, and of course tons of champagne.
