Sippin Saturdays ~ Jessica 6

KittenCouture — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 06:00:00 -0700

Oh yes we're back to covering bands on Kitten Lounge! I love attending shows and can't wait to see Jessica 6 on Oct 6th for their record release party! I'll be honest that beyond hearing songs online or snippets here and there, I'm not familiar with the group; however, the comments that I have heard all over the sphere lead me to believe that this will be a group whose melodies will not be easily forgotten. Individually, they have done so many collaborations with artists that I have loved such as Massive Attack and Goldfrapp that I'm very excited to see them. Of course that means that next week, I'll have to let you know how the show went and much like other shows, I will post some footage! It's always fun to go to release parties and I'm sure that this won't be any different. Until then, I wanted to give you a peek into their Fun Girls video which was shot live at Le Poisson Rouge here in NYC. If the song is any indication, it will be a great show!

Mingling Mondays: Party Tips!

KittenCouture — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 04:00:00 -0700

We're in that time where you'll think of any excuse to throw a little party (or maybe a big one). We just threw a large Lobster Boil Party which was a great way for people to come out, have some great food and a few drinks. We had a theme, I had sent out invitations and everything went from there. Whether you're a natural at planning or could use a few pointers, I wanted to share a great video of a party planner that I recently met! Last Thursday, I had the opportunity to go on the Dekuyper Party Bus where we not only enjoyed shots of Dekuyper's ready made shots (this means you don't have to stress about being a bartender), but we enjoyed nibbles and learning that you can have people come to a party in various ways with various budgets in mind! Take some time to hear some ideas and never think that you can't have a function whether it's based on space, money, food or even ideas!

Sippin Saturdays: Halston Creates a Moving Video

KittenCouture — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 05:00:00 -0800

Fashion Week started yesterday and with today being Valentine's Day - it's all about the love! Although I love the official collection of designers that show at the tents, I am also a fan of those that are offsite or are apart of additional presentations. As many of you are aware, many designers pulled out of the tents in an effort to have a smaller affair. I love that Halston decided to do an interesting interpretation of the runway showing the full movement of his clothes. I definitely think that innovation is going to be what sets designers apart this season and into the next ones. Enjoy the video and the journey of the model as she passes various designs from his collection.

Snazzy Sundays: Kitten Lounge Episode 1

KittenCouture — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 14:36:13 -0800

So one of many surprises was released today! Each Sunday, I will come to you live via Mogulus talking about what's going on, giving sneak peeks and more! On Mogulus, Kitten Lounge has it's own channel which is available at any time! Currently, you can enjoy this post, DVF's induction into the Walk of Fame and also an interview during last Fashion Week with Robert Cleary of Dashing Diva!

In today's show, I let you know about Kate Hanley, the author of Chill Anywhere. She will be at East West Books at 5th Ave on 14th St on Mon Jan 12th from 7:30 - 8:30. This is a great way to get the book, get it signed and of course to meet the author that can also be seen contributing to Body + Soul, Good Housekeeping and on Martha Stewart Live! In addition, I let you know about Soul's Calling giveaway and about the need for Yes to Carrots. Finally, you got a sneek peak on Tuesday's post which will talk about the Orbit. Take some time to check in with my new station which will be live each Sunday at 3pm!

KittenCouture — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 05:00:00 -0800

Sippin Saturdays: Hafdis Huld is Back

KittenCouture — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 05:51:09 -0800

I have written about Hafdis Huld before and she has a new CD out which you can hear right here! This singer from Iceland has such a unique sound that I am so eager to share with all of you the new single Stop! It's interesting because it was recorded originally for a Merecedes TV ad in Europe, with such a great reaction, they decided to really put some great instruments behind it and to release it! Don't you love when you use something for one purpose and then realize that it can really be something even more amazing? Check out the new song and some others on Last.FM and if you like, check out this previous post which includes her video Tomoko!

Sippin Saturdays: Introducing Lindsey Yung

KittenCouture — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 05:00:00 -0700

I am such a fan of music and have such a wide interest but, when I'm working, I have a very specific type of music that I could work to for hours. When I first found out about Lindsey Yung, I was intrigued by this piano playing singer/songwriter. I love the fact that she plays solo and that although I would classify her as a pop artist, she also has Hawaiian influences and although I didn't see this through the video, With Every Breath, she also plays the ukulele (as shown below).

This San Diego artist whose CD will be released October 2008, on her birthday no less, can be seen within her videos and performing live in long skirts of vibrant colors. I also love that she performs in her bare feet! After two years of work, if you happen to be in the San Diego area on October 4th, you'll be able to see her perform and to get her CD as well. Lindsey is such a celebrated singer/songwriter who finds her inspiration from the beautiful landscape of Maui. Enjoy the video and hear more snippets from her Myspace page.

KittenCouture — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 01:00:00 -0700

Sippin Saturdays: Hafdis Huld

KittenCouture — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 10:00:00 -0700

Right before Fashion Week, I had an amazing tip about an artist that I HAD to know about. Let me just say that when I got a little clarity today, I enjoyed learning about Red Grape Records' artist Hafdis Huld. Originally from Iceland but living in the UK, she has an amazing folk, acoustic, pop sound and I love this video that is currently on You Tube called Tomoko. Hafdis is the girl that is not in the brown cat suit dancing around! I debated this point back and forth until I had a talk with Kerry and he set me straight! I have to say that I love her sound! You can also learn more about her and other songs via her Myspace account. Her sound is unique and it definitely puts you in a great mood, I'm not sure who the second person is in the brown catsuit but the video is fun to watch because of their interaction! Thank you so much Kerry for the tip/clarification and I hope you guys love this video as much as I do!

Fashionable Fridays: Milan Fashion Week Highlights Salvatore Ferragamo

KittenCouture — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 05:00:00 -0800

I love this season! There is a show every where you turn and we can all allow our inner (fill in the blank) Audrey Hepburn or Elizabeth Taylor come out. Although many of these pieces may not be something that you would wear out, you can definitely take some nods from these fashion greats! Fortunately, I am a fan and would wear anything that came off this runway! Salvatore Ferragamo is one of my favorite designers and recently in Milan he unveiled a line that I would not mind having in my closet!
My favorite outfit (that I would wear in a jiffy) is this super cute cocktail dress that not only wraps and has a beautiful key hole effect, but it also has a cute scarf. This is such a sassy look which makes us all feel that we are red carpet ready. I love the classic blue color and I love the snazzy elements that allow for shimmer. In addition, I love the idea that you can pair this with a cute clutch (I am so about this and feel that it is a fashion essential).

The peek a boo effect of this outfit is so cute! This is perfect to wear along or over denim and leggings. This is perfect for a night out when you are going to a premiere of some sort and you want to show how cool you look. Once again the shimmer is much appreciated!

This outfit makes me think of a disco dancer. I love the shape of this outfit and how it fits the upper body and instead of becoming a dress, it's a pant suit that is not only sexy but extremely classy as well. I love the black, white and grey colors of this piece.

My favorite "night time" look from this collection is this top. I love how it loops around the neck and the pop of color which shows a green portion of this outfit. I have always been a fan of this look and with a little Hollywood Tape, this is an outfit that will have every eye looking at you no matter where you go. Although I have shown a few images here, make sure you visit Coutorture to see more from this show and many others!

Treasure Tuesdays: Flippin for Flip

KittenCouture — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 05:53:00 -0800

I LOVE Flip Video! I just got it for Christmas - don't you love when you get Christmas presents early? Anyway, I can''t wait to start doing video stories and more - which will be available here. Anyway, this is the same item that Oprah gave away during her "favorite things". I received the bundled package which included the tripod, case and of course the Flip! Over the next few weeks, you'll see posts with me using this and if you have a Flip, feel free to give tips on how to use this! I will be in Vegas for Project, Magic etc in Feb and I will definitely enjoy using this. Check out Flip's website and in case you're wondering, I have the pink one!
