Going green for fall

Neiman Marcus hosted a preview of fall fashion trends. Among them, several shades of green, as shown in this combination of a Halston dress with Helmut Lang jacket and accessories, which is great because green is one of my colors. Along with purple and orange.

Which is funny because immigrants were mocked mercilessly for wearing those colors. So I had to wear blues and browns when I was a kid. Now green, with purple and orange makes perfect sense to me.

More green in a Donna Karan dress paired with a DVF jacket.

Everyone needs a little pink dress, right?

This RED Valentino dress stopped me in my tracks at Neiman Marcus, with its sheerest silk chiffon floating over crinoline. Must. Try. On.

"Project" lunch

Went to see "Project Runway" designers Casanova, Michael Drummond and Mondo Guerra, hosted by Andy South, at Honolulu Community College in the morning. Afterward, joined them for lunch with Malie Moran at Mariposa, Neiman Marcus.

While in the mall for holiday shopping, stopped into Neiman Marcus for peek at spring, including the latest romantic styles from 3.1 Phillip Lim. On the left is his coat of leather and lace.

During a photo shoot with Anya Rozova for HI Luxury magazine, we did an impromptu photo in Kensei Takeda's bathtub, not for publication, just for ourselves, with a Neiman Marcus gown that didn't make it into the final edit.
