New York Fashion Week...Marina

Good Bye New York, Hallo London!

So I am back in London again. New York is the most amazing, incredible, vibrant place but boy, was it tough during fashion week. The whole experience still feels slightly surreal (probably that is the jet lag kicking in)..... I described it to my husband as feeling like a lion has ripped off my leg, gnawed on the carcass and lazily spat out the remains.

New York has the most beautiful light (except in the middle of the day when it is really harsh- I even got sunburnt), so many gorgeous girls and fantastic backgrounds but I found it challenging to make everything happen together at once. Sometimes I felt like I was spending more time travelling between shows (and getting lost on the subway) than actually doing any photography!

Marina Munoz, stylist.

P.S. The lovely girls at Lucky magazine asked me to shoot some street style for them during New York fashion week. You can take a peek at who I photographed over on the Luckymag.com site.

New York Fashion Week....Leather Flip

I didn't catch her name but she is a stylist. I know I promised to try and get names and details of what people are wearing these fashion weeks but I failed miserably even on the first one! Will try harder in London :)

Edit: Her name is Fifi!

New Guest Designers

We're so excited to announce two additional guests to the Wags 'n Whiskers team!!

Please welcome from the USA...Kristen

Hi, My name is Kristen Catalano, and I live Nashua, NH with my hubby, who I have known since 7th grade, and My daughter Abbey (9), and My son Ryan (7), along with our two furbabies (Shih Tzus) Princess and Remy. Besides playing with paper and markers, I am currently a Full Time nursing student. I have been stamping and creating cards for almost 8 years. It wasn't until I put a copic in my hand when I decided I completely LOVE to color. I consider myself a cutesy kind of stamper. I am looking forward to being a part of the Wags N Wiskers DT!

And now welcome from the UK, Vicky....

Hi I am Vicky, I am a 34 year old stay at home Mum to Edward whom is 4 and Henry whom is 3 in a few weeks time. I got into cardmaking while on bedrest whilst pregnant, when my husband brought me a quilling set. From this I moved onto decoupage sheets until I was introduced to stamping by my best friend Cathy and now I am very addicted! I am lucky that I have a craft room where I can go and create when the boys are asleep or at preschool/school. I can definately say that the friends I have made through this hobby have kept me going through the dark days of PND. My prefered mediums are either my beloved copics or distressed inks. I love all pretty papers and ribbons and lace, and are often very loathed to cut into them, some I just take out. look longingly at, and then put back! I am so honoured to be asked to be a guest designer on such a talented team and to work for two wonderful and kind people in Nikki and Lacey

Vicky Murray http://angeldrummer.blogspot.com/

We are so thrilled to have you two on the team!!

Today is the last day to enter the Glitter Challenge!! We will have a new challenge tomorrow.
