Pre- First Fashion Show

So for the first time in 16 years, I will be going to a fashion show. Not just some hodunk local-yokal show that is being produced. I'm talking a FASHION SHOW as in NEW YORK FASHION SHOW as in NEW YORK FASHION WEEK.
Sometimes I just step back to look at my life and all I can think is, "WHAT IS MY LIFE."

So yes, I will be leaving tomorrow to the city for a show that is on Sunday. The designer is Malan Breton who was actually on Project Runway season 3. He is absolutely fantastic and luckily for me, I am very close to someone that knows him. Things just sort of fell into place as he sent out invitations and our names where put on a list.
I always visioned myself going to fashion week when I was in my fabulous 20's, rocking out something high end and chic as hell. I would smize through my huge sunglasses as a fashion street blogger caught me in a rush to a cab. My dreams that are really expectations I make for myself are fairly high.
Either way, I am unspeakably excited. There will be pictures and probably a during ad after reaction of the show. ALSO, I get to meet Malan back stage after the show on Sunday. Again, WHAT IS MY LIFE.

I just made a new banner. I sort of love it. The dalak was a nice touch.

3 outfits. Same Pants. Around $50 each.

3 outfits. Same Pants. Around $50 each.



So, for this week, I have 3 outfits with the same pants. These excellent sequin pants are only $20, marked down from $68. Fantastic. I tried to incorporate different colored sequins in the tops and accessories. For outfit #1 I have a beautiful light blue cropped shirt and paired with it a gorgeous gold bird necklace. All together the shirt and necklace $25.80. He second I went for a more nautical them with the sequin anchor tank with anchor earnings from Forever 21. The shirt and earrings together are $11.49. Now for my third and last outfit, I paired the black shorts with an extremely amazing Snow White shirt from the Disney store. I love the detail of the sequin bow and lips. It is on sale from $68 to now $33 and I paired this with a heart bag from Betsey Johnson for $29. Yes, this out fit is quite a lot more expensive but the Shirt just looked so amazing with the shorts. Also, it was the only bag I could find  that really matched the sequin color. I love it!

Yesterday, I received my Book Of Shadows from Hautelook. I swatched some of the colors and they are beautiful. I need some time to play with the shadows and time to wear them to give a full review of the product, so that should be coming out shortly!

I hope everyone had an excellent Mardi Gras, I know I did. We celebrated Mardi Gras in French by having a food day. The day before I made 50 some sugar cookies and iced them all, all in the shape of a voodoo doll. I loved giving everyone cookies, just seeing it on their faces how happy they were to get a cookie made me smile. And BTW: cookies and baked goods are like currency in High School. People will trade anything for cookies. I traded a friend 3 cookies so I could have the chair we fight over for the day. It was worth it and I think he thought so too.

Farewell for now, but not for long.

Price Difference Outfit 1st

Price Difference 1



Like I could even wait. It is a Sunday and Sundays are dull and I do not like them. So here, my friend, my first fashion VS. So here, I display Floral pants, lace blouses, bow necklaces, and brown oxfords. Very fabulous. And everything for my cheaper version is under $25 except for my shirt. The Shirt was perfect, and I really didn't find anything else. Of course you could always find a lace tank top. I saw one from Forever 21 that would look nice with the outfit. Not so much when replicating the expensive. Just setting up a model. I'm working on more like these. Any comments? Advice? Opinion? Let me know!
