Boston: Saks Fifth Avenue: Ms Fit For Society

The lovely ladies behind Ms Fit for Society hosted a fashionable presentation combined with a fitness demonstration at SAKS Boston, perfectly timed for summer and for May's American Stroke Month.

Ms Fit's own Jessica Diaz, a recent stroke survivor, spoke about her experience and introduced us to her neurologist, Massachusetts General Hospital's Dr. Natalie Rost. Learn more about strokes and especially how to spot one.

Of course, the show made for a very tempting invitation to shop afterwards, all for a great cause, with 10% of proceeds going to the American Stroke Association.

Once again, DJ Mario Papathanasiou spun the night away, while Nathan Alan and Danielle Noel of Blo Salon worked their magic over the lovely Maggie Inc. Models....

Boston: Saks Fifth Avenue: Designer Floor Launch

As a photographer I am always seeking to capture the beauty in everything and the grand opening for the newly remodeled designer floor at Saks Fifth Avenue was exactly that: beautiful.

The ribbon cutting ceremony was hosted by VP General Manager Gretchen Pace and Marketing Director Cara Fratto, who unveiled the myriad of luxury boutiques including Donna Karan, Alexander McQueen, Alaïa, Stella McCartney, Pucci, Givenchy, Céline, to name but a few.

Each of the luxury brand's aesthetics are reflected in the unique layout, lighting and interior design of each shop. Exquiste materials, some imported from Italy, are showstoppers themselves, notably the pink inlaid wood floor (designed by Stella McCartney herself), the luminescent onyx wall from the team at Céline, and the baroque moulding at Alexander McQueen.

Donna Karan herself raved about the newly designed floor when she was in town for the launch of her own in-store boutique.

Join me as I take you on the scenic route through a lil' bit of luxury brought to you in classic Saks Fifth Avenue fashion...

Chanel No 19 on August 19

To celebrate Gabrielle Coco Chanel's August 19th birthday, CHANEL is launching the new No.19 Poudré fragrance.

I used to wear COCO Chanel and now I like the smell of Coco Mademoiselle, but my go-to scent has always been Clinique's Happy and more recently Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy.

Are you a Chanel fragrance fan? Which do you like? Or if not, what is your favourite go-to scent?
