I am always getting invited to the coolest stuff! To further take a look at "all things stylish" through the eyes of the StyleMayvin, here's another HomeSTYLE feature. Introducing Grandera by Grohe! Trust me...you will want it for your home.

GROHE KICKS OFF NEW YORK DESIGN WEEK AND A NEW COLLECTION

To celebrate the launch of the GROHE Grandera™ bathroom collection, water created digital art AT Grohe Live! Center

New York (May 14, 2013) - German kitchen and bathroom fittings manufacturer GROHE kicked off New York’s first official Design Week with an event that brings together art, technology and water at the Grohe Live! Center New York on Monday May 13, 2013.

“We are extremely excited for the launch of Grandera, which shows our commitment to design and innovation,” said Michael Marchi, CEO and President of Grohe Americas.

To celebrate the launch of the Grandera™ bathroom collection, GROHE invited French digital artist Antonin Fourneau for a first showing of his piece Water Light Graffiti in NYC. “We chose Antonin Fourneau for a collaboration tonight because his work creates a real excitement and emotion through water,” continued Marchi.

Created during his residency at Digitalarti Artlab, Water Light Graffiti features a wall of LED panels that light up when in contact by water.

“Water is the essence of life and a huge inspiration for my work,” said Fourneau. “I am delighted to be here for NY Design Week to collaborate with Grohe, a company that rallies tremendous resources behind design, creativity and innovation in the subject of water.”

At the event, Fourneau used his signature street style script to graffiti the expansive 13ft LED wall with water. The interactive event allowed guests to have a chance to experience painting with water and light.

Grohe showcased the latest addition to its collection of bathroom fixtures, the Grandera Collection at the event. Special displays featured the Grandera family that was inspired by the architecture of Paris and an blending of feminine and masculine forms.

Prada... Need I really say more?

Well actually, as a blogger, I guess I should say more but I will keep it short and sweet since these styles so effortless speak for themselves.

Now, because I have this unnatural love of shoes, I thought this collection of Bows, Buckles and Tassels was more than just a cute concept...it's a perfect collection of shoes for any woman, with any style preference, at any age! Wouldn't you agree?

All styles are available at NeimanMarcus.com

Even when I am unable to physically make it out to an event, if it's the launch of something I believe to be "stylish", I make sure to let my readers know all about it! In this case, it's all about the NEW Ursula Stephen Salon!

Celebrity hair stylist Ursula is what industry insiders call a cut above the rest. From her most notable trendsetting hair styles on R&B superstar songstress Rihanna to her cutting edge reputation as Hollywood’s haute hair Highness, Ursula Stephen is the go-to stylist for today’s hottest stars. Her clientele also includes Mary J. Blige, Monica, Zoe Kravitz, Kerry Washington, Paula Patton and more. Stephen is also the spokesperson for Motions Hair Care & the Global Ambassador for Motions South Africa.

With a reputation and roster like that, Ursula is a force to be reckoned with! And...by all accounts, it seems that the guests of this event had a fabulous time! I certainly won't miss the next one!

I've worked with the team at Belk a number of times and they are really awesome! So when I saw this opportunity, there was no way I couldn't share it with you.

For all of my friends, families and readers in the southern states, this is a great idea for a Mother's Day gift! If you haven't already gotten something or even if you have and want to add to it, this is a great way to give in double portions! Support Baby Buggy!

Show Mom you Care While Helping Others this Mother’s Day

Receive an Exclusive Tee Shirt That Supports BABY BUGGY™

Yours with a Purchase from the Jessica Simpson Fragrance Collection at Belk Stores

Jessica Simpson, fashion mogul, entertainer and new mom along with her sister, singer/song-writer, actress and mother of one, Ashlee Simpson, have teamed up with the charity Baby Buggy ™ to launch a special tee shirt that gives back.

The Simpson sisters first teamed up with Baby Buggy last year to launch Jessica Simpson Girls, as part of Jessica’s eponymous Jessica Simpson Collection. The duo launched a design competition and the winning design, a colorful heart motif by artist Natalie Baca, was chosen by Jessica, Ashlee and Baby Buggy founder, Jessica Seinfeld.

In celebration of Mother’s Day, this special tee shirt is yours with any 3.4 oz. fragrance purchase of Vintage Bloom or Fancy Love from the Jessica Simpson fragrance collection, exclusively at select Belk locations. For each purchase made and tee shirt given, a $10 donation will be made to Baby Buggy ™, which provides needy families with gear, clothing and educational services for infants and children up to age 12.

“We wanted to inspire young girls to express themselves and their creativity through fashion,” Ashlee says. “So to see this come full circle and give back to such a great cause is truly amazing.”

Jessica adds, “It is a joy to support Baby Buggy. Being able to shop for yourself and your little one and know it’s going towards a greater good is really nice.”
