Good Earth Tea Tag You're It Contest, My Quote on Tea Tags: PAMELA PEKERMAN

"Let's grab a cup of coffee", doesn't really appeal to me. First of all, why "grab" instead of "enjoy" a cup of coffee? Can we linger with a cup and not dash down Madison Avenue? Secondly, I'd much prefer a cup of tea. Tea is soothing, aromatic, full of anti-oxidants and a daily ritual I savor. If you follow me on Instagram you've seen some of the mini moments I create around tea. I collect tea and tea pots like I collect shoes - only the best. So, I was thrilled when America's-own Good Earth Tea wanted to immortalize one of my wise quotes on their tea tags. Take a look at my quote, which may be in your next batch of Good Earth Tea. 


You too can have a tea tag quote. Simply enter the Good Earth "Tag, You're It" Contest.    


Have a tea-rific day!

Accessorizing for the Met Museum, Schiaparelli Prada Exhibition

There's nothing like spending a Sunday afternoon at the museum. Yesterday, I finally saw the Schiaparelli Prada: Impossible Conversations exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. If you love fashion, history, and powerful women, take your sexy Prada-heeled self to this exhibition. I'd like to add a note of admiration for the geniuses that came up with the frame work for this exhibition, curators Harold Koda and Andrew Bolton, who were inspired by Miguel Covarrubias's "Impossible Interviews" published during the 1930s in Vanity Fair.


Accessories:


Frederic Fekkai leather flower head piece - I got this at an event or some gift bag nearly ten years ago and never had the conviction in my fashion choice, to wear it out. A date at the Met with two powerful ladies was all it took. 



Prada Accordion Frame Bag ($3195) - my version is sold out, but check out this lovely tan/yellow option with white piping   


Tory Burch Emmy gold sandals ($195)- purchased two years ago in shinny gold leather, now they have it in tumbled leather 


Bolbach python cuff ($120)



Apparel … not as important: 


T.J.Maxx polka dot blouse ($12.99) 


T.J.Maxx white jeans ($19.99) 

R to L: Prada Autumn/Winter 04/05 printed trompe l'oeil pleats;  Elsa Schiaparelli Vogue  1937

R to L: Prada dresses Autumn/Winter 08/09; Schiaparelli butterfly evening dress summer 1937

The sizzling temperature wasn’t the only thing burning up Manhattan, last Wednesday. ABC’s The Chew co-host Carla Hall, TV personality Alex McCord, PIX11 Morning News anchor Frances Rivera and 30 other influencers gathered at The Cell Collective, a semi-private personal trainer center on the Upper East Side, to unwind, reboot and indulge at Accessorize for Wellness hosted by Style & Accessory Expert Pamela Pekerman. Wait, that's me! :)

I was thrilled to share my top accents to getting fit, fierce and fabulous. From kicking off your day with a soothing glass of Tetley Tea to unwinding with a nice bubble bath with Champneys Spa Collection, what other products and tips do I love to indulge in for a life of wellness:

Tetley Tea – Britain’s best, makes your more routine tea-rrific 

Yummie Tummie – Strappy Tank and Nici Briefie take you from flab to fab in a soothing, synching second

BackJoy – Posture+ seat enhancer cups, tilts and floats your pelvis upright, to posture perfection

EmmiYogurt – made in the Swiss-tradition, with real fruits … what a concept!

FitOrbit.com – democratizing the personal trainer experience and taking it into the digital age

Pluggz – flip-flops that help you plug into the Earth’s abundant electrons, for a boost of joyful energy

BMR Beauty – BMR Face stimulates and rejuvenates the face, at home, with gentle electrical pulses

Champneys Spa Collection – a bubble bath to sooth the soul

Pam P-shirt – work out in style with a Pamela Pekerman burned-out logo tank 

In addition to all of the above, with was live gifts - it's SO much fun! - guests also received a package of GoGo squeeZ Apple Mango Sauce (try it on-the-go and you may not want to share with your kids), Nautica black polo shirts (for those casual trips on the yacht), Wicked is Better burned-out t-shirts, & free classes to The Cell Collective.

During the party, guests indulged in luxurious massages and makeup touchups courtesy of the team from Oasis Day Spa. 

The Emmi Swiss Yogurt Bar had an assortment of yogurt flavors and healthy toppings.  Thirst was quenched with Tetley Tea USA’s variety of iced tea and hot tea. CellarAngels.com, an online wine  retailer that links small, family-run vineyards from the Napa and Sonoma valleys and donates 10% of sales to charity, provided wine.

I'm also was pleased to announce that thanks to the generosity of the participating brands at Accessorize for Wellness, $2,500 was donated to the Ilya Peckerman Fund Vasculitis Foundation, which raises money to fund research grants to find the cause and cure of Vasculitis-related diseases.  It's in honor of my late father, so if you're in a generous mood CLICK HERE.

Handbag Humpday, Diane von Furstenberg Tonda Polka Dot Haircalf Clutch: PAMELA PEKERMAN

I'm loving this perfectly sized clutch from DVF. The polka dots make me think of the iconic Lucille Ball – the ultimate domestic goddess, at least in my book. And I adore anything with touch-me pony hair. Pairing this with Diane von Furstenberg Taya Dress in neon orange, is an ideal look for a summer soiree. Don't blame a gal for thinking ahead - it's 57degrees in NYC today!

Treasure Tuesday, Kelly Wearstler Jewelry: PAMELA PEKERMAN

Ultra-cool, industrial-like jewelry from the ultra-cool gal herself, Kelly Wearstler. Perhaps through osmosis, Kelly's je ne sais quoi aura and chicness will trickle into me through the purchase on one of these pieces. For now, my inner voice is screaming "charge it" "charge it". Of course, my inner voice is also telling me to have a slice of cheesecake -- FYI It's 8am!

Slipper Sunday, Viceroy Santa Monica & Kelly Wearstler Home Decor Inspiration: PAMELA PEKERMAN

I’m obsessed with interior designer turned fashion designer, style icon, and walking-definition-of-chic Kelly Wearstler.  It’s no wonder, then, that my go-to hotel in Los Angeles is the imaculatly designed Viceroy Santa Monica. The property has all the bells and whistles we expect from Ms. Wearstler: geometric shapes, graphic prints, fun with mirrors and soothing luxury.  The overall effect is swanky Hollywood glamour, swapping out gilded grandeur for California cool.  I’m thrill to go back next week for Oscars’ weekend.

Get inspired to create a Kelly Wearstler-esque moment in your home. I’m going to start with the hanging plates idea. I’ll let you know how that goes J.

PS One more thing to love about Viceroy Santa Monica is location. You’re seconds away from the famous Santa Monica Beach (where I like to enjoy a cheesy California moment-in-the-sun bike ride – thanks to the lovely concierge James), Santa Monica Pier, colorful Venice Beach (prepare for a contact high!), and Coast (brunch there is must!).
