I love NYC life! There is always something going on!
“[…] the sun, which as it sank lower, seemed to spread itself in benediction over the vanishing city where she had drawn her breath. He stretched out his hand desperately as if to snatch only a wisp of air, to save a fragment of the spot that she had made lovely for him.” F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby“
I am excited to announce the new Pursefixation NYC Fashion Events calendar ! You can find it at the top of the blog next to Purses page.

Time to open the secret garden’s gate again to walk around the charming ponds and admire the blooming flowers. So come in and follow me!

Pastels: soft, delicate, light hues of color, so loved by Eugène Boudin and Claude Monet. Petals: romantic allegory of fragility, softness and bloom of woman’s skin.
Welcome to the secret garden of floral pattern and pastel palette.

Girls Empowerment Fashion Runway Show at Yotel Hotel last Saturday was the grand finale event of the Women & Fashion Film Festival week sponsored by TRUE Model Management. What an exciting event! I was invited by Dale Noelle, President and Founder of TRUE Model Management who explained the idea behind the show: motivate, promote and empower women and girls to follow their dreams and be confident not only with their bodies but with who they are. How inspiring!
Yesterday, I joined the founders of Juicy Couture for the launch of their book “The Glitter Plan”at Bloomingdale’s 59th and Lexington Avenue. Splendid event! I not only met Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor and got their autograph, but also shook hands with Glenda Bailey.

Sea those stripes? Many designers this year incorporate the striped pattern in their summer collections. Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Kors, Calvin Klein , Tory Burch, Oscar de la Renta or Valentino, to enumerate a few, are inspired by nautical motifs and feature stripes on the runway this season.
