Your Late!!
I know i know, the past two weeks have been very busy, and finding the time to have a seat and entertain you guys is sparse. However, within the busy weeks I did find the time to attend the DC Fashion Week Networking Party last Thursday. The party took place at Tabac Bistro on U street, and I must say it was live! Everyone came out to meet and greet including models, stylists, bloggers/writers, magazine editors, and of course some fashion related self starters. I was impressed, especially with last Monday's fail event in mind.
I took a few flicks. Enjoy!
Last night was the Kick-off to DC Fashion Week, and what better way to celebrate it than with a party. The evenings festivities were held at Kellari Taverna, a local DC restaurant, where they served seafood hors d'oeuvres and complimentary champagne. The overall atmosphere was great, there was a mixed crowd including models, vendors, and local magazine executives.
I'm curious to see what the rest of the week has in store, last night's event was poorly organized, leaving some with a bad taste in their mouths.
There are some photos of the event below, including one of my partner in crime! Enjoy!
A little delayed, but hey, it's still within the week!
So today's piece is for the princess looking for a little edge. The reflecting gold hue is perfect for the upcoming seasons, and the D-shaped rings tone down the original spiky cuff design. This piece would look best with a deep red cardigan or flirty chiffon top.
Enjoy!
PSA: I have a confession to make, I've held this in for quite sometime because in some parts of the world my obsession is frowned upon.. I have an incurable disease.. BIEBER FEVER !! And it is contagious, after reading this blog post you'll walk away wanting to know more about this young ball of energy.
Where do I begin!? Justin Bieber literally came out of nowhere, there was no warning, no introduction, just BAM polished sandy blonde hair and an angelic voice. We're used to Disney introducing our young stars, but in Justin's case Youtube actually put him on. He's Canadian which puts a smile on my face since I spent a few years living there, and not only can he sing, but he's practically an android. He fits nicely into the Michael Jackson, Usher, Justin Timberlake and Chris Brown category, we could always use more of those!
His first full length documentary, Never Say Never, following his Diary documentary that aired on MTV last year comes out tomorrow in 3D (completely unnecessary, but SO amazing). Its a guaranteed #1 in the country type deal.
However, to avoid being attacked by the hormone crazed tweens, I will not be seeing it in theaters, I can wait till it comes out on DVD, perhaps Blu Ray? (They would.)
Couldn't stop humming this while writing this post! And am I the only one noticing Vampire Diaries Katerina Graham's cameo in the video? Enjoy!
Just thought I'd share my very tasty, warm meal I devoured today at my internship. Half a Smokehouse Turkey panini, French Onion soup, and "complimentary" French baguette from Panera Bread (glad i didn't eat that, or I would have busted out of my pants). And if you noticed the keyboard in the background, I was updating Ma Garde-Robe and researching vintage fur coats that a client consigned.
So I've decided every Monday I will be critiquing a piece of jewelry that catches my eye. It will keep the idea of a dreadful Monday positive, and perhaps inspire you to add some similar accessories to your outfits.
To top last week's fail, is this hammered gold-plated cuff by Etro an Italian design company. Zoe-MG, I die. The architecture of this cuff alone is enough to make we want to slap it on my wrist, when paired with the color gold there is no doubt that this piece was not made to be worn indoors.
Pair it with a black turtle-neck sweater, or wait till the spring/summer time and wear it with a printed chiffon maxi dress for that "I'm on a vacation" look.
Etro is very adamant on their production procedures, most of their jewelry pieces are actually individually handmade. Enjoy!
Yeah, I kind of wish blog entry titles could have some type of intro music, in this case... FOOTBALL intro music!!
Yes yes, Fashionistas watch sports too, but I will be honest, picking a team to root for in this year's Superbowl is a tough one. Should I lean towards the famous Black and Yellow team, the Steelers, thanks to rapper Wiz Khalifa, or should I side with the DMV residents in their resentment towards Pittsburgh and root Green Bay Packers? Nonetheless, I'm much more concerned with which nacho and big screen party I will be attending, and which jersey will be easiest to pair with a pair of skinny jeans or jeggings! Crucial, I know!
Who will you be routing for this Superbowl? And most importantly, how will you be accessorizing your over sized jerseys? Let me know!
