This year was a bit different. Project and Magic both occupied the entire convention center, with smaller shows such as Workroom and Capsule exhibiting amongst the major shows.

The first two days of the show are pretty crazy and my grand scheme was to sneak out on the third day and take pics of some of  my favorite lines and new ones to watch for. Well unfortunately I left my camera charger at home and was stuck with take a few pics from my Blackberry!

I was fuming!!

But then this made me smile…

I quickly fell in love with the floral sequin sweetheart cocktail dress.

Naven cocktail dress

Naven is a Los Angeles based women’s line designed by twin sisters Kym and Alexis McClay. I was drawn to their fun, feminine and flirtatious style.  My style tends to lean towards the more playful contemporary women’s looks, this line is a perfect fit for me. Naven plays on a contrast between a classic and sophisticated silhouette and a young, fun and flirty style.

The Project Show offers exhibitors, buyers, press and visitors unique and quirky benefits such as a Mini Mani-Pedi salon, multiple bars with spirits, several internet lounges and phone charging stations. Not to mention a sound track provided by some of the NYC’s best DJ’s like DJ Rumor.
