Los Angeles Style Fashion Week Part 2 – Louis Verdad and Dar Sara

Louis Verdad Check out more of Louis Verdad here Dar Sara The Dar Sara show was absolutely amazing. Sponsored by Swarovski, the pieces were dripping in crystals. The intricacy of each piece was absolutely amazing. The show started with a “fight” between two models in what resembled chain mail. It was Haute Couture chain mail. A model walked the runway after the two sparring models left the stage, playing the violin. Again, stunning. The rest of the show began and had viewers jumping up to take pictures. It created such an energy, everyone could tell how unique this show was. The energy from the crowd was tangible. It was truly innovative and inspiring. Check out more of Dar Sara’s collection here Again, stay tuned for another post on Los Angeles and my stay in Beverly Hills and the rest of Style Fashion Week.…

Style Fashion Week – Los Angeles – Part 1

Our Closet – Prep for the Week The first evening & following day in L.A. were fairly relaxed. We visited L.A. Live the first evening for food & entertainment. We sat outside at Wolfgang Puck for dinner, reveling in the 75 degree weather we were experiencing at 8 o’clock at night…it was after all, pouring rain and 50 in Seattle. The first full day consisted of a walk around the Fashion District and a visit to the Cooper Design Space to go through the spring tradeshow where buyers come to buy for next season. It made me want to own a boutique so I could go through and pick out all these wonderful items. We also stumbled upon the Alice + Olivia showroom by accident. Talk about a dream come true. I love that brand and being able to just browse for a moment was a dream come true. It got way too hot so we made our way back to the hotel to prepare for a model fitting and the first fashion show of our week. Stay tuned for a post dedicated to our evening event. It was truly inspiring.…

LA Fashion Week – Brief Update

This will be short as I’m currently 35,000 feet in the air on my way to Chicago. Los Angeles fashion week with Lina Zeineddine and Bri Seeley was an absolute blast. I met so many new people in the fashion industry. It’s awesome to have the connections I have so that I’m able to be behind the scenes and experience what I experienced this week. Here’s a quick photo from the first night we attended. A street style blogger took my picture, I’m hoping it will be put up on his blog. It’s so fun to have people ask to take your picture out of all the people in the crowd. I have a ton of photos to upload when I get back to Seattle on Sunday. I witnessed some amazing collections and really felt inspired. I felt LA fashion week had some innovative moments that left a lasting impact on me. I hope I can take this inspiration back to my job as a graphic designer. Onto Chicago now, it’s going to be a 30-40 degree drop in temperature. Oh boy. This will be interesting.…

Black MilkxStar Wars & the Scream Dress

These lovelies are on their way. I have been waiting for the Black MilkxStar Wars collab ever since the first droid swimsuits were discontinued. I cannot wait for all the leggings and swimsuits coming out with these in the next few months. This is like a dream to me. I went through a huge Star Wars phase when I was younger (original 3, not the new 3). This collab is turning geeky into sexy. I love it. Also purchased the Edvard Munch dress because well I love art. Art on clothing = beautiful if executed the right way. Sneak peeks of the rest of the collection pulled from the Black Milk video preview Yoda & Luke, Chewie & Han, Droids And this is swimsuit will be mine. Beautifully epic.…

Adventures in Omaha – It’s Better Than You Think

I’m sure there are parts of the midwest that just aren’t enjoyable. Omaha is not one of those places. Perhaps it is the lack of sunshine in my life, the West Coast is incredibly gloomy, and Omaha is incredibly sunny and warm and I was looking forward to that, and for my family, including my grandma, who we call báka (grandma in serbo-croatian), to all be in one place. My brother graduated from his first four years of college (he will be continuing on in the medical field), and it was overall a fantastic weekend. Omaha is actually full of some incredibly unique boutiques, and I found some amazing pieces of art, jewelry and clothing. The Old Market area is my favorite part of the city. Old brick streets, shops and restaurants with the “old midwest” kind of feel to them.   I went into a local art shop, Curbside Clothing, that has been around for only a year and completely fell in love with all this artist’s work. His name is Gerard Pefung. I love the elephants.   Fashion snags from Omaha:   I bought 2 rings from a local artist, I love how unique the wire handwrapped rings…
