OSGEMEOS Silence of the Music at Lehmann Maupin

October 19, 2016
Art , Life , NYC

We are so lucky to live in Manhattan and have such easy access to all the amazing art in the city! Today, after school pick-up, we enjoyed the unseasonably warm 80 degree fall weather with a little artsy adventure. Lehmann Maupin on W 22nd street showcased a wildly colorful exhibit featuring Brazilian artist duo OSGEMEOS that we just had to see for ourselves.

Twin brothers Gustavo and Otavio Pandolfo transformed multiple rooms in an immersive installation that combined drawing, painting, collage, mixed media sculpture, and kinetic and audio elements.

We found the vibrant art to be so much fun to explore with its playful, quirkyiness! Ever hear of the man in the moon? Well here’s a toddler too!

The exhibition offers “a heightened multi-sensory experience that embraces the power of human imagination and the vast possibilities in visually interpreting the subconscious.” It certainly did feel a little dreamy, that is if you dream in full, technicolor fashion!

Osgemeos’s signature yellow characters and intriguing patterns felt accessible and understandable to all ages which is why I highly recommend it as a fun outing for moms and kids. I love that I can instill the appreciation of art and exploration through NYC exhibits like this!

Check it out, even if it’s just for all the Instagram-able floor-to-ceiling art walls!

NYFW Minifashionista at the Rookie USA Fashion Show

September 26, 2016
Mommy and Me Looks , NYFW , Style

When Juliet sees pictures of mommy at fashion shows without her, she’ll ask, “Mommy how come I’m not there??” And when I explain that I went to the show alone, she makes me promise, “next time you bring me.” So whenever there is a kids’ fashion show or a fashion presentation (which I find easiest to take a toddler to), I do try and invite her so long as it doesn’t conflict with her school schedule. This brings us to the Rookie USA kids Fashion Show held at Moynihan Station this NYFW.

It was a must-see mommy and me show. Haddad Brands presented it on Thursday, September 8th with hosts NBA great, Ray Allen and his wife Shannon and charitable partners, JDRF and Ray of Hope Foundation. It was a series of kids’ fashion shows featuring top brands including: Converse, Jordan, Nike, Hurley and Levi’s.

Breaking up the series of 5 runway shows were live performances from Live Deejays, DJ AMira and Kayla, singer Bobbi MacKenzie, and break dancers, Street Justice Crew. The breaks not only logistically allowed for backstage prep with all the celebrity mini-models, but also riled up the audience’s excitement and anticipation for what was to come. I tell you, the energy in this room was palpable! And I was so thankful we got to see so much with one sitting! It was truly an entertaining NYFW experience!
