So Lavande-Garde: Kathryn Finney- The Budget Fashionista!
Kathryn Finney- The Budget Fashionista
I had the pleasure of meeting Kathryn at an event at the Soho Grand here in NYC! After the Ladies Lotto Panel, I had to introduce myself and inquire about her lipstick hue.
She is the Queen of budget friendly chic! back when everyone was going nutzo over the Dior Saddle Bag and Juicy Track suits, in 2003 she was one of the first official bloggers and she started sharing her cost-friendly shopping tricks on Thebudgetfashionista.com.
Kathryn delightfully indulged in her lipstick color- its MAC’s Cyber, described as an ” intense blackish purple”. She also tipped us off and let us know that Black Radiance has a similar lipstick hue.
Violet Sightings: Kristen of Pink Brick House
Kristen is Ultra Violet!
WE LOVE YOUR ULTRAVIOLET TRESSES! So Lavande-garde!
Who is the women with the desired hair? its Kristen Dolle, Founder and CEO of start-up media agency Pink Brick House. Her website is www.kristendolle.com and she has done some great interviews and writing pieces on New York Women in Communications.
We met at the Ladies Lotto event in NYC this week, and upon hearing that she was no longer going to have this color soon- it broke our heart! But have no fear, we will always have snaps!

" I can't pronounce her name but Eggplant is her game"
When my baby cooks her Eggplant,
She don’t read no book.
She’s got a Giocanna kinda of dirty look.
And my baby cooks her Eggplant,
Bout 19 different ways.
Sometimes I just have it raw with Mayonnaise.

Bringing him out of retirement for your nostalgic pleasure!
AARP and his retirement must be going well considering being friends with Ronald McDonald and Friends has been implanted in the minds of every Mickey D’s Cookie and Happy Meal lover.. and we haven’t seen him ( and “Friends) around for a few years…ok ok like 2 years.

Founder of Purple Magazine and man about town – Olivier Zahm.
His blog is quite exciting(www.purple-diary.com)and Purple Magazine is fantastic! Being here in NYC has granted me the chance to work with some of the visionaries that have put this magazine together.
Last year I had to run an errand to Purple’s New York office- I was hoping to meet Olivier. But alas he wasn’t there but it was cool to be sent on an assignment.
I kinda miss his avatar on Style.com..
