LA CARMINA & YUKIRO AT NEW YORK FASHION WEEK! SPEAKING AT IFB CONFERENCE, ZOOLOOK APP, NYFW 2012 RUNWAY SHOWS.
Happy Chinese New Year! Ready for the big travel news I’ve been teasing you about? Well…
Yukiro Dravarious and I are guests at New York Fashion Week, Feb 7-17th! And we hope you can join us!
I’m honored to be a speaker at Independent Fashion Bloggers conference (IFB Con). This year, invitees include Glamour, Refinery 29, Style Scrapbook, and Bryanboy.
My panel takes place at Milk Studios NYC, Feb 8th at 9am. I’ll be speaking about “What Are Bloggers Worth?” — giving advice on brand relationships and negotiations.
For more info and to purchase tickets, visit the IFB conference page. It’s the biggest and best event to network, and learn about fashion blogging, so I hope to see you there!
And I’m thrilled to be partnering with a new fashion iPhone app, Zoolook. The well-designed application lets you post, tag, rate and share your outfits, with an emphasis on Japanese street style.
During NY Fashion Week, I’ll be snapping and posting my favorite looks. Stay tuned to Zoolook (it launches next month) and my Twitter to see the app in action.
What else do Yukiro and I have up our vampire sleeves? We’ll be attending runway shows, and will bring you full reports and photos (with an emphasis on Asia and alternative designers). We’ll also be hosting events and parties, and have a big video planned… I’ll let you know more as soon as everything’s confirmed.
I hope you can make it to IFB Conference, and please stay tuned to my blog for event announcements. We hope to party with you in New York!
PS: If you want to work with us on sponsorships, appearances, modeling, interviews etc, send me an email. We’re in NYC from Feb 7-17th.
PPS: Basil Farrow wishes you a very happy Lunar New Year. He got a red pocket, and did his best impression of a dragon roar!
Yukiro and La Carmina in NYC… got suggestions for places to visit? Are you excited to see what we’ll wear?

NHK KAWAII TV: LA CARMINA ON JAPANESE TELEVISION! TONI & GUY HAIR ACADEMY, SANTA MONICA, ORLANDO HOTEL W3RD.
Hello dollies… sorry I haven’t been online much. I’ve been working 12-hour days, doing TV shoots for Food Network. And a giant typhoon has just hit Tokyo!
However, I have wonderful news: I will be featured in a 30-minute episode of NHK Kawaii TV. The popular program, airing on Japan’s national broadcaster, covers cute Japanese fashion, trends and people. We’ll be shooting this week in Tokyo; I’ll let you know when my episode airs (and put up a clip).
Speaking of kawaii — dig my Hello Kitty hair. The day after my birthday party, it remained in place.
Zebra zip-top: World Wide Love, from Closet Child Shinjuku. Seba and I share this item, like many of our clothes…
Sunglasses: gifted from Lumete
As usual, we stayed in the Orlando Hotel in West Hollywood. (Remember our review of the LA boutique hotel?)
The Orlando has newly renovated luxury rooms. We were overjoyed to see the staff again, and chomp on green apples from the front desk!
Can’t argue with this view of Los Angeles’ West 3rd Street. It’s lined with adorable boutiques and restaurants, including our beloved Indian hangout — Electric Karma.
And the Orlando is a short ride to M Cafe, one of my favorite eateries on the planet.
As always, Seba and I went to see our friends at Toni & Guy Hairdressing Academy in Santa Monica. We love instructor Cindy.
I got my hair twisted into a Hello Kitty bow and crimped!
Since we were by the beach, we went for a stroll — followed by pink grapefruit gelato on Third Street Promenade. I’m wearing HOPE tshirt from our Japan charity collection.
A creative hairstyle, isn’t it? To get the look, put part of your hair in a ponytail, separate, hairspray, and clip in the back. Then twirl a circle and secure it in the middle.
Funny how you can see the shadow of my bow, and Seba’s devil horns.
Have you watched NHK Kawaii TV before? What do you think of the program? Any suggestions for what I should wear, and how I should style my hair?
Song of the Day: Vivid – 69
