Literanista Does Fashion Week in NYC

A couple of years ago, I was asked by my dear friends to write for their little fashion blog. One that now is a huge hit and grown into a prosperous website, Papierdoll

Last night, they had a huge fashion week pool party at Hotel HQ in collaboration with Second City Style and projekt:nyc. Now not only was the sweet sparkling liquor, Nuvo tasty but also on the house, which made even better. It was fantastic to mingle poolside with talented photographers, beautiful models and witty stylists as well as old friends.

The absolute coolest part, I have to admit was the free schwag. I love freebies, especially a cache like this one. I got a dark grey RUSK laptop bag filled with a Philips GoGear Audio Video Player, a sunless tanner kit, a makeup kit, Rusk hair products, a CD, nail polish and more!

The Philips GoGear Audio Player comes fresh off the CES 08 shelves and is so cool.

It will be available at the end of March 2008 and offers:
20 hours of music playback Drag and drop songs, no special software needed “plug and play” The whole clear crystal front is the navigation button 4 lines of text on the OLEDFM radio Rechargeable via USB2 GB memory

I really need to go out more often! I will post pics soon.
