Some days ago I was contacted by travel Guru Kendra Thornton and she was asking me for the challenge to create her 'Kendra's Night Out' New York-style. I was completely fascinated of this task, but before arriving to my styling proposals, I'd like to introduce you Kendra's bio for more to know of her very interesting career.
About Kendra

with parents who own Royal Travel & Tours, the largest travel agency

opportunity to travel the world and experience first-hand the evolution

English and French from Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. She’s

So, Kendra was asking me ...
"I don’t need anyone to give my regards to Broadway because I’ll be traveling to New York City myself soon. A group of friends and I will be spending a few fun days in the Big Apple, and I’ve had a ball planning for our trip. I’ve chosen to book our stay at the luxurious Dream New YorkCity hotel, and I know we’re going to have all kinds of fun together there. Before we leave, I need some help from you.
New York City is famous for fashion, and I don’t want to step out on a night in the Big Apple without looking absolutely gorgeous in the latest styles. As a mom of three kids living in the Midwest, I could certainly use some fashion tips before my trip.
The Bar at Dream New York City - When staying at a trendy Midtown hotel like Dream New York City, you don’t have to go out in order to enjoy a night on the town. One evening during our visit, my group of friends plans to enjoy some time relaxing, drinking and people watching at The Bar. Located in our luxurious hotel, this lounge, reminiscent of a classic Midtown Manhattan bar, features comfortable elegance and sleek finishings accented by the occasional well-placed antic. Perhaps we’ll while away the hours drinking at the marble-top bar as we watching the city pass by outside The Bar’s windows. We’ll definitely enjoy selecting drinks from the Beer Manual, which features traditional favorites as well as a full selection of craft beers. The two huge flat-screen televisions in The Bar make this a perfect place to catch a big game as well, and if the munchies strike, guests can order decadent tapas or light small plates to go with their drinks.
Like every world city, New York City has its own unique style, but few cities hold as much sway over global fashion trends as the Big Apple does. That's why I'm super excited to be getting your expert advice concerning what fashions I should sport on a night out in New York." - Kendra Thornton
Kendra's first look is out of one of my favourite American designer-duo KAUFMANFRANCO, the newest collection for Fall/Winter '14/15 which is actually only to get by order. But, this amazing collection deserves to be mentioned here as an edgy New York-Style.

As all my readers might now, I'm very attached to Paris, so my second look for Kendra is Parisian-inspired, a very soft shaded and feminine one, here to discover. By clicking the highlighted links you'll find the shop-items - enjoy!

Kendra's MakeUp could be by DIOR, for this reason you'll discover here pictures of my latest visit in Paris, where I loved so much the DIOR beauty-showroom at Galeries Lafayette, and you'll find the new DIOR 'Trianon' Spring 2014 MakeUp Collection, as well as the Pandore Look by DIOR for Spring/Summer 2014 - so amazing!

'KAUFMANFRANCO Fall/Winter 2014/15'
KAUFMANFRANCO's mix of sophistication and edge, luxury and function, handcrafted and high-tech offers up a body conscious sensuality as complex and provocative as the modern woman they dress."Although our aesthetic is trained in a similar way, interestingly enough, it is always the tension between us that pushes us creatively," says Isaac Franco.
