Friday Post With No Title

Cocaine Princess here.

My apologies for the short post. What can I say it's been one of those weeks where I was feeling a little unfocused.

So, what is the Colombian Princess going to blog about? Are you ready.....THE WEATHER! Please do try to contain your excitement.

Remember this pic I posted:

48 hours after Mother Nature unleashed her wrath in the form of snow and made temperatures plunge to -23C, she decided that it was time for rain. Hmm, a dumping of snow accompanied by freezing temperatures followed by rain, makes sense, right? Temperatures hit +14C making it the warmest day in January on record.

I snapped this picture yesterday morning. After warm spring like temperatures the weather this past week was chilly with a few light flurries on the ground.

This weather of ours is driving me nuts partly because I have no idea what to wear! One day I'm wearing my boots with a heavy coat, the next I'm wearing my heels and a light sweater and on another day I'm carrying my umbrella. I'm beginning to think Mother Nature is bi-polar. Can she not make up her mind or could she be in cahoots with Old Man Winter? To say our weather is wacky is an understatement.

And now today we're under an extreme weather alert-- the biggest winter storm to hit us in 5 years is set to arrive, so of course the weather people are putting the fear of God into everyone. They're making it sound like we're not going to make it out alive, Snowpocalypse is the term they're using. I really don't understand the media. Do they enjoy scaring everyone? I'm guessing what they call the biggest winter storm is probably going to be just a regular and typical winter day. No worries, I'll be posting updates because I know you all must be concerned about me after reading about this dreaded storm that could wipe out The Great White North.

My loyal and dear readers, it's finally Friday.

Whatever your plans are, have an amazing weekend. ~x

XOXOXOXO,

DAY 2: New York Fashion Week

Cocaine Princess here,

As they say, the show must go on!  The iconic American designer Tommy Hilfiger presented his collection today with a slight delay on account of the winter storm.

The book style invite. (Notice the houndstooth around the edges)
 

Backstage. Hmm, I see houndstooth fabric peaking out.

  
The sketches: “The tailoring is precise, but I’m leaving just enough room for the unexpected”

The show took place at the Park Avenue Armory where the room was transformed to resemble an Ivy League library.

Male Hilfiger model backstage: 

"Welcome to Sartorial Prep, where tailoring is everything," the designer quoted. Designs were ‘precise and classic, but never stuffy. Rooted in British tradition, but unmistakably American with 60s British flair.’ Collegiate stripes and houndstooth ruled.

 

The shearling-lined car coats were printed with the Prince of Wales checks on the exterior.

British cool meets American ingenuity. Lots of crisp tailoring and argyle. The collection was classy and stylish.

 Bravo Mr. Hilfiger!

Tomorrow Day 3 of New York Fashion Week.

XOXOXOXO,
