Last night I was invited to celebrate the launch of the LULU by Lulu Guinness for JCPenney collection at a dinner in NYC hosted by the designer, Lulu Guinness, who flew in from across the pond for the occasion. Guests got to mingle amidst the British-invasion themed decor, dine on hearty English fare (I had a beef and oyster pot pie, first and possibly last time!) and preview the collection.

Another designer I love seeing at New York Fashion Week is Pamella Roland, who many of you are familiar with for her stunning eveningwear designs. These aren't fashions I'll be wearing anytime soon but it's thrilling to see them in person and later when they make their inevitable appearances on celebrities walking the red carpet. Here's a sneak peek at some Fall 2013 sketches, plus inspiration from the designer:

"For Fall 2013, I was inspired by the ornate interior of the winter palace in Saint Petersburg, Russia." —Pamella Roland

Flokati pillows are soft, fluffy and chic - what's not to love? Well, maybe the price (these are $58 each at nordstrom.com, in white or grey) and the fact that they might be tough to keep clean (not sure just a hunch). But they're sooo pretty.

Get the look for less with this Target flokati fur pillow, available in white ($19.99) or gray ($13.98). I saw them in person the other day and thought they looked great:
