Emmy's 2009

Let's talk Emmy's shall we, since I don't feel like getting into Fashion Week at the moment. I'm actually a big TV person, for one simple reason fashion, TV is a great reflection of what's 'in' and how to wear what. Show's that I drool over simply for Fashionista/ Material Purposes;Gossip Girl, Melrose Place, 90210, and my latest obsession, TBL: The Beautiful Life. However I do enjoy othershows, such as How I Met Your Mother, Bones, Supernatural,TrueBlood, Entourage, House, Lie To Me, and Fringe.... okay basically I'm a closet TV JUNKIE. So watching the Emmy's I got to check out some of my favorite TV personalities in gorgeous red carpet attire, I watched the E! Behind the Scene's at the Emmy's last night before the premiere of How I Met Your Mother and felt a few pictures were needed. Enjoy!

Post Secrets

Interesting Idea

I want to try something like this, maybe for my next photo project, I saw it on tumblr so I have no idea where it actually came from. If anyone knows tell me kthanks :)

Matte is the new black.

Forget shiny slick watery looking shades of nailpolish, this fall it's all about the Matte. and Chanel has come out with two adorable colors that I'm completely obsessed with, Jade and Jade Rose. Although I'm leaning more to the pure Jade, it's funky and fun and since I've been wearing nothing but Midnights for parties, and Fruity shades of coral for the daytime/summer, these are cool contrasts for the fall. Check it!

Fashions Night Out

Ohh I nearly forgot to mention, tonight is Fashions Night Out! Basically they invite all the fashion retailers from every borough of NYC, and encourage them to keep their doors open late on September 10 and to come up with creative customer experiences. Currently over 700 retailers and designers have confirmed their participation. The times mainly are between 6 pm and 11pm and it's an open invite. If you're in the area you'd be crazy not take advantage of this event. Or atleast purchase the super cute Fashion Night Out T-Shirt. There's also a concert for showing how you rock your fashion night out tee where you could win tickets to a runway show during NYC's Fashion Week. Also 40% of retail proceeds of the t-shirt and donated to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. and the shirt is a mere 30$.

Something to consider

“Fashion is what you adopt

when you don't know who you are.”

Quentin Crisp

An interesting thought. I don't agree really, but I saw this quote and it struck me. I guess something I those in fashion must always keep in mind is, you own the clothes, the clothes don't own you.

KELESSE CARDIGAN

I'm loving Tory Burch's Cardigan upgrades this season, this one in particular. It is fashionable but not over the top the navy 100% wool is slightly contrasted against the collar's red pipeline (I'm a sucker for red), and the the crystals covering it make it a statement piece, although fairly easy to pull off. It's a bit of an investment, but worth it! and is available at www.toryburch.com

Anais Pouliot

Soo I met Anais last night and loveee this girl, she's so cute, and fun, and bubbely, and is french canadian! And most certainly deserves a bit of blog love. She's one to watch for sure! So enjoy!

Basic Info:

Agency Folio (Montréal)

Hometown Lachenaie, PQ

Background French Canadian
Modelling Since 2005
Age 18
Height 5'10" (178 cm)
Hair Brown
Eyes Brown
Discovered Everytime I went shopping people told me I should model, so I decided to go to Folio and the director, Corinne, immediatly took an interest in me. I signed not long after.

Best Modelling Moment It was when I was in Paris. The shooting was in a castle and I wore haute couture wedding dresses for a magazine. It was like a dream come true because I never thought I would wear such marvelous dresses at my age.

Awkward Modelling Moment When I was in Paris, there was a language misunderstanding between the French spoken in France and French from Québec. I was saying that I wore a "camisole" to designate a tank top, suddenly everyone stopped talking and stared at me, not understading. The photographer politely explained to me that a "camisole" meant in French from France a straitjacket...

Favourite Market Paris of course! Everything's there, the market is huge and the fashion is so present. I worked there a lot and there are great opportunities for my style.
Favourite Model Gemma Ward, she's different from the other girls and her look is unique.

Most Embarrassing Song on Your iPod A song from Elvis Presley
About your agency/booker: They are so nice, I love them all! They are very professional and take good care of me.
Also represented by Trump (New York), Slides (Paris), Brave (Milan), Zucca (Tokyo)

The City Lights Shine Bright

Oh my goodness. So let's just say the Trump Fashion Week Launch Party was for lack of a better words Fierce and Fantastic. Never have I seen so many beautiful people crammed into one (albeit long) room. It was held at the Gates Lounge, and started around 9:00pm, Big and I showed up feeling a bit short and misplaced but the open bar and debonair atmosphere cleared those hesitant thoughts away instantly. We mainly got to hangout with her model friends, two who I'm completely obsessed with Anais and Ashley, we sipped white wine, and mowed on macaroni balls and mushroom pizza, or rather I didn't models are well... models. Surprisingly the Donald made an appearence and Big almost died of excitement. We met some rather sketchy business men, and one trappish bartender named Nate. Even the owner of the club Dane Kane made showed up and gave Big and I an indepth tour of The Gates. Which was decorated with original pieces from Fitsgerald's Gatsby's favorite New York Hotel. I even got a bit of a mac on with one of the male models Paul who is gorgeous and 23. It was a night to remember and a night that my feet will remember. Yowch. Ohh and Trump thought I was 'with the agency' aka model? Deff an Ego boost. Miss Universe was there as well, ah so fabulous I think we'll go back to the Gate's soon.

"One should either be a work of art or wear a work of art."

Atleast that's what the tattoo on my right side tells me. It's a quote ripped straight from the lips of Oscar Wilde, one of my favored victorian playwrights, and I like to think that I follow it on a daily basis. My name is Courtney Walsh I'm 19 years old and currently attending Hofstra University, in Hempstead NY. I like to pretend that it counts as New York, New York, but the 30 minute LIRR train ride loves to remind me that is isn't so. Still it's only a stones through away from my favorite city, and (fingers crossed) future home. Anyway I've been meaning to start up a fashion blog, I tried earlier last year but got caught up in freshman year and it faded into cyberspace. I'll make a point of sticking to this one I promise, anyway I'm running on minimum sleep at the moment due to my RSR shift at 4:00am. For those of you that aren't aware an RSR shift involves sitting in a glass box and swiping people in when they misplace their college ID or have guests, or are just plain lazy and don't want to dig their card out of their pockets/purse. Anyway the 4:00am-8:00am shift pays the best and has little to no people coming through, meaning little to no work. (Because no sane/normal college student is up and about beetween 4:00am and 8:00am by choice, normally the bars lingerers wander in around 3:00am, and I personally feel that nothing good can happen to someone out and about at 2:00am and there after).

I've been working out quite a lot, every day sometimes twice a day, so I decided not to nap for an hour and to run instead. Then I have Class Journalism: Media Ethics, followed by Anthropology: Archaeology of the Living and Material World, followed by sketching the banner for my sororities carwash in the student center, then writing for Newsline 2:30-6:00pm anddd then my first Student Government meeting at 6:00 and then me and my Big Sis (sorority Big Sis that is I'll just call her Big here) are going to NYC for a FASHION WEEK PARTY! ( I could die of excitement) except I have nothing to wear since I lost my ATM card and it has yet to be mailed to me, I think I'm just going to wear a black Seven for All Mankind jumper with booties and long necklaces, ugh figures I'm living my dream in an already worn outfit, I pictured my first fashion week party outfit a tad more glamourous perhaps something by Alexander Wu? or Marchesa? Maybe even Chole. Oh well beggars can't be choosers hopefully I can be allowed to snap some good pictures, I'll look like a complete tourist but at this point since I'm already going to stick out like a sore thumb why stop, might as well play the part and enjoy myself.
