Day 3 NYFW; Front Row & VIP, Baby!

After Thursday's marathon I almost skipped heading in on Friday but I decided I needed to push myself. As I headed out the door I second guessed myself and once again put on a safe outfit. I had a ticket to the Concept Korea show which featured emerging designers - Tae-keun Kim and Ji-yeon Lee of the labels Yohanix and Jarret.

In addition to making a few more new blogger and photographer friends, I once again scammed my way into the front row and watched probably my favorite show so far. I did love the colorful furs in Jarret but Yohanix really popped for me - with lots of jeweled accents and beautifully tailored outerwear. Just so cool. I want to be that girl.

Unfortunately almost none of the details I took pictures of came out so I'm including lots of video. I do have a few shots from the Jarret show. One trend I'm noticing on the runways is the low heeled chunky bootie with a snip toe - just like the ones I had in the 90s and have since tossed LOL.

And because I know you need to see it - here's what was in the front row swag bag :) Lot's of Korean beauty products :)

After the show my new friends and I headed to the Tresemme lounge to see if we could get our hair done but they were closed for filming. We told them were just looking for somewhere to hang out so they escorted us to the VIP IMG lounge and we hung out for a couple hours sipping mimosas and champagne. Guess I chatted up the right person. I just had water but I asked for it in a champagne glass to look swankier.

I snapped this one of blogger, Mairanny Batista because at first I thought it was Joe Manganiello behind her but it was just another gorgeous guy with a killer jawline. After watching True Blood I put him on my free pass list. 

These pics were snapped in the lounge by photographer Alexandra Szebenyik with my camera. 

On my way out Mairanny shot me both inside and outside. She's as talented as she is adorable and we had such a blast.
