hey everybody! i’m gonna get in trouble if i don’t come back and fatten the credits on this post up tomorrow. but tonite it’s all i can do just to post it. four days into the show and still one more tomorrow. it’s a real portal to infinity. i skimmed the surface but still hit each area and have about an hour tomorrow to fill in what i missed. in the meantime, just wanted to share some of the eye candy that’s had me running all over this joint the past few days. above and below is kumi kookoon. she makes indescribably gorgeous pillows, blankets and now nighties. below you can see her lusciousness in sets for gossip girl. the first is a pajama party and the second is blair’s dorm room.

i started at the pier. shine is the very first booth you see. i liked their vibe this year. it was fun and bold. they used silk charmeuse too but tye dyed it. it was super soft and vibrant.

and i’ll add more pics to this post later but wanted to get it underway cause as i’m going thru them, it’s infinite. the anakasa booth was mind boggling, both with the quality of their fabrics but also the quantity. this is the epitome of something for everyone.

    Oh how I would love to fall asleep in the last photo + the first photo combined!!

    I stopped watching GG halfway into the first season but I remember the sleepover scene. It makes me chuckle that the photo above is the set of Blair’s dorm room haha

    Gorgeous! I’m so jealous you are there. Sounds like a blast. And I will admit, even though too old, can’t wait for GG to start and see B’s room. Those pink ruffles are beautiful.

    Enjoy!
