Revist Summer with Beautiful Briana

Hey folks.
We are in the middle of February (already!) which means that other than the thrill of fashion week in New York City it's still pretty much colorless and dreary around these parts. The kiddies are off from school this week for something know as ‘mid-winter recess vacation’... isn't that some kind of oxymoron?

We are just gonna pretend it's summer with this little flash back.

Backyard Couture. The Photos.

July 19,2008. The 2nd installment of Backyard Couture was Grrrrrrrrrreat-Tony the Tiger Style-! The joint was literally packed from sidewalk to yard and by the end of the night over 400 folks had rolled through. Check for the next and final Backyard Couture of the season on August 16.

Well enough chatter -here are the photos as promised. If you've got some shots you wanna share, send em' our way and we'll upload them too!

Yardies

Those of you in attendance at Backyard Couture know how ridiculous this Saturday's festivities were. We ate, we drank (some a little to much), we danced, we shopped and drank and ate some more. Peep the flicks...

BackYard Couture...The Recap.

Ok, so this past Saturday in Brooklyn was crazy! Every corner, every backyard and every park had an amazing event going on. But despite the looming threat of rain and the smorgasboard of things for folks to get into -BackYard Couture was BANANAS!

Sarah White, 77Klash, Sweetie & the FREAKING AMAZING HEAVy literally brought traffic to a stand still on Flatbush avenue.

Thanks to the great vendors, our talented DJ, the best Veggie Burgers on the planet (according to all of you guys who kept coming up to us asking where you could get em') & Kitty Hawk's Infamous Rum Punch a great time was had by all!

Special, big, lovely, humongous, shout out to all our sponsors, partners and of course YOU!!
