Naag.com's Fiona Byrne
Last week Mother Nature had other plans for our Hudson Sky Terrace party- namely, to rain it out and force our post-work drinks to head indoors. But this week, the sun is out, the drinks will be flowing, and we’ve got a great host for tonight who we think you'll like…a lot. We first celebrated with Fiona Byrne from Naag.com at the launch for her website (that she co-founded with Agyness Deyn) back in October, and now we’re teaming up again for tonight’s Sky Terrace rooftop soiree. To get you even more excited for tonight, we chatted with Fiona to find out a few new things about the New Yorker– including her summer plans, must-haves and more.
Oh– and if you’re keen on coming tonight, tweet @kanonvodka and @hudsonNYC with the hashtag #kanonskyterrace before 3 PM and we’ll put you on the list. Easy, right? Happy tweeting and happy drinking– that’s what we’re all about.
1. If you could jet off to any summer destination right now, where would you go?
Preferably some place that doesn't involve a jet. So tired of airports! It's so much easier to just get in a car and go to a New York beach. The Hamptons beaches are so pretty AND you can bring full sized products without checking luggage. Love that.
2. What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given?
Stop worrying. 90% of the stuff you worry about will never actually happen, so what is the point? Anyway, no matter what happens you will handle it. It's really important to remind ourselves of that.
3. What are your top 5 summer essentials?
1) Barton Perreira 'Faithful' sunglasses - my fave sunglasses brand. A huuuuuge selection of frames and so chic. 2) Dolce & Gabbana leopard ballet flats - I try to avoid sandals in the city. The ground is so filthy. The cut of these flats is flattering to the foot. 3) J Brand Dita high-waisted shorts - I love to wear these with a white shirt knotted at the waist. 4) LNA white v-neck T-shirt – PERFECTION. 5) Marlies Dekkers underwear (on show beneath a sheer tank) - these bras are like statement pieces in their own right. AND they fit like a glove. Really into them right now. 6) Can I have 6? My Kindle has to be in here. I am obsessed with it. AND you can read it on the beach without worrying about the sun glare. I'm reading Patti Smith "Just Kids" right now.
4. What’s the last thing that made you say or think “I love New York”?
Probably last night when I ordered sushi via Seamlessweb. I love that you don't even have to talk to anyone to make the order. And I also like that you can go to three parties in one night. There aren’t many cities where you can do that as easily as you can here.
5. What's on your concert line-up for the summer?
Maybe Lollapalooza... other than that, probably Rufus Wainwright in Montauk.
