Houston's Fashion Night Out

I was so excited when I found out that Houston was participating in the Fashion Night Out along with the other heavily populated big cities like NYC and LA.  Fortunately, this weekend is my birthday weekend so my bestie cousin Shan (also my photographer) came into town to help me ring in my 30th! We put on our best party clothes and hit up Neiman Marcus and the Fendi store who were both serving fabulous champagne!  We swooned over the fashion shows and gawked over all the Fendi bags we so desperately need.  I would say all in all, it was a complete success and I am so incredibly proud that Houston has decided to play in the fashion game! I cannot wait to attend Houston Fashion Week next month; I just know it is going to be fabulous. Cheers to Houston!

I decided to rock my new leather skirt that I picked up at one of our vintage stores downtown, Leopard Lounge!

We decided to head over to the MAC store and get some lashes for the rest of our night!

I decided to rock the unique "Carrie at Stamford's wedding hair" in the Sex and The City 2 movie.  I crimped the underneath layers and used a curling iron on the top layers.

We took this with our IPhone!

A Train, Some Spikes, and a Blazer

I could seriously put together a million different outfits using my basic black blazer and Free People tutu skirt! I did NOT put that many outfits together (I promise), but I did make a few because these two pieces are just so extremely versatile!  You can throw the structured blazer over almost anything and put  the Free People tutu under anything and VOILA, you have another outfit!  I used both pieces in this style to show a more laid-back look and then threw on a blazer to spice up the whole ensemble!

Orange Sorbet and Little Flowers

I am so completely and utterly obsessed with Free People, and OF COURSE we don't have one here in Houston so when I go to Dallas or any other city that has this marvelous store, I drag my husband to it and try everything on in the store! Well the last time I went, I bought this orange lace tank and tutu-esque skirt that you can put under anything to make it look longer.  I bought my tiny flowered skirt at Nordstrom rack a couple of months ago, but it was kind of short, so the Free People skirt helped me out in that department! We (My wonderful photographer Shan Renee and I) really played around with light and various poses in these shots; we went crazy and we both loved how the photos came out!

Lady GaGa's Style Started Long Ago...

On Sunday night, I found myself flipping through the channels becoming increasingly annoyed because there is never anything on television.  Well, for some odd reason I stopped on the movie Beetlejuice that I used to watch when I was a kid.  I had forgotten about all the outlandish fashion in the movie! I realized that Lady GaGa's fashion sense was outdone long ago by Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara in Beetlejuice.  O'Hara donning a leather glove head band and Ryder wearing a big floppy hat with a black lacy veil had me realizing that maybe Lady GaGa got most of her ideas from this particular movie!

A Touch of Lace

I am absolutely smitten with this lace dress that I happened to buy while on a trip with one of my lovely fellow hairstylists to the 3-story Forever 21 in downtown Houston. It is absolutely sensational and versatile and it can take you from Summer to Fall!  I first paired it with black tights and black mary janes topping it off with a fedora, then for Fall I threw on my trench in case of a breezy night.

To go from day to night, throw your fedora on the sofa, grab your classic trench and head out for some nighttime playground action.

Farmer's Market and a Floral Dress

So for the past few months I have been freakishly obsessing over farmer's markets like crazy. I dragged my supportive husband down to one we have here in Houston at the Discovery Green one early Sunday morning, and I have to say I was pretty disappointed. So, when I went to go see my Dallas bestie (Shan), I wanted to go to the Dallas farmer's market to see if it was better, and it was marvelous! We picked up a whole basket full of luscious, succulent oranges to put in our Blue Moon that night. (Yes we both adore Blue Moon and we are girls!) I had to go to the farmer's market in my floral dress of course. I absolutely adore this dress and I purchased it a couple of years ago from Newport News. When I first bought it online, I have to admit I was worried about what would actually come to my doorstep, but it has been a fascinating piece in my wardrobe and I cherish it so!
