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.

And Now an Eggplant Break- I’m the Broke-Ass of the Week!

A special thanks to Anna G and of course Stuart of Brokeassstuart.com!

Wrapping up NYFW- Refinery 29, Gilt and Fuse threw a bash at Santos Party House with Of Montreal performing. While waiting for “Moonage Daydream” was a no-go as Solange Knowles took to the stage to perform “Heatwave”.

Prior to her set, she enjoyed getting down to OM like the best of us but I couldn’t help but admire her headpiece and her lipstick color. A stark violet/purple mass that was bold, beautiful and very wearable! Looks like MAC’s Night Niolet Mattene with a deeper shade mixed.

 ”Girl, you so Violet” was something I would have said if I could muster words at this point- I was too concerned with my own fun!

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..
