Oheka Castle

David Tutera, a celebrity event planner who I’ve had the pleasure of working with, announced Oheka Castle as America’s best wedding venue.  Given he has seen the best from around the world, I’d trust his word on it.  Recently I had the chance to visit the venue again and re-live why I (and I bet David too), can’t stop the princess wedding fantasy from overtaking me as I gaze upon the grandeur that is Oheka Castle .  It’s America’s 2nd largest mansion and sits between Manhattan and the Hamptons and in one word it is simply glamorous.

Check out these venue shots also featuring my fashionista friend, Sarah.  Isn’t she a doll?

Some of you may remember that Oheka Castle is where one of  the Jonas brothers got married.

Perhaps the most stunning part of the venue is the perfectly manicured garden shown above.  So French.  So chic!

I was just there for an event planner and bridal event where I got to ooh and aah at all the vendor creations.  Here are some of my favorites from the day!

If you loved the mansion, you will love the replica in cake form!  Isn’t this amazing?

Below are my favorite floral centerpieces from the day.  I love floral balls and chandelier elements.The Chef was quite talented as you can see from the above cakes.  The cakes were so pretty I forgot to even care whether they tasted any good.  My favorite is pictured below -the metallic bow cake takes the cake!

If you look closely, the cake above actually has encrusted jewels which are appliques.  Talk about glam!

FabCam – NY Fashion Week 2010 Part 3

If you like eye candy, then you will love the scene outside of NYC’s fashion week at Lincoln Center this year.  There are so many beautiful fashionistas walking their own catwalk right outside the tents.  If you haven’t made it out there or don’t live in the NY area, don’t fret ‘cuz FabGab has got her FabCam!

I caught these two leather-clad ladies on their way into the tents.  Leather is paired with everything this fall – dresses, skirts, jeans, winter shorts…

I love how this fashionista paired masculine with feminine pieces.  Her boyfriend blazer contradicts the girliness of her floral mini-dress and compliments her booties.  Note how she lets her ankle socks peek out of her booties – socks are a key focal point this fall.

This lady’s gorgeous mane caught my eye and that’s when I noticed her cute bow-cinched dress.  You’ve got to love a classic black/white pairing. I write about it all the time in my blog.

Though the fashionista pictured below is wearing neutrals, she still manages to stand out with her stylish military jacket, edgy chain accessories and frilly lace skirt.  love her shoes..

Elin Nordergren, Tiger Wood’s scorned wife seems to have a lookalike at fashion week.  This much more fashionable blonde rocks out in a jumper and bootie and shows she’s confident when taking fashion risks.

Speaking of lookalikes, check out this Blake Lively lookalike, spotted outside Lincoln Center.  Do those gorgeous blond wavy locks , oval face shape and smile not remind you of the Gossip Girl cutie? People say all Asians look alike.  Hm I’m beginning to wonder if I could say something similar here. haha

She’s wearing the latest craze in cargo pants -skinny military green versions.  If you have ever wondered what to wear with them, here’s your inspiration.

I tend to gravitate towards being matchy matchy with my purse and shoes.  But I see fashionistas like the leather and lace one pictured below and am reminded that you can rock a look without having the matching purse and shoe.

I almost bought a pair of booties like the black leather cutout ones shown on the below fashion week guest.  She must be a New York-er, just look at all that black 🙂

As always, if you’re one of the fashionistas featured here, do us a favor and comment with details on  your outfit.  What /who were you wearing?  How would you describe your look and what do you do for a living?  Please note which picture (by simply listing the order # that it was found in this entry) so that we can easily reference.
