I'm a Benefit "Hoola" Gal

/

 

I tan easily, but I try to stay out of the sun as much as I can because I don't want to be one giant freckle when I'm 60. Lately, I have been dusting my face with Benefit's bronzer "Hoola." I have had so many people comment on how tan I look. Little do they know that it only takes me one minute in front of my mirror with this magic powder. haha. I highly recommend it. It doesn't make you look orange, and it works for all skin types. All of you pale peeps, don't be scared of  this dark brown hue. Just dust it lightly all of your face and throat.

Birthday Costume Party

/

 

I don't know very many fashion peeps that don't love a good costume party. So, for my birthday and my sister-in-law's birthday, we are celebrating by throwing a karaoke bash where our guests will dress up as a musical artist. Who am I dressing like? Miss Katy Perry. Why? The costume suits my love of retro glam and brown hair. Do I like her music? Meh. haha. Here's my Katy Perry inspired look..

Will I be singing Britney Spears, some Justin Timberlake, 'NSYNC and all things pop? ABSOLUTELY!!! EEEK! I can't wait. What musical artist would you dress as? Michael Jackson? Tim McGraw? Madonna?

Sex and the City 2 Fashion Show

/

  Well, I did it! I survived my first real fashion show!!! Over 1,000 people attend the Sex and the City 2 fashion show presented by W Scottsdale and Phoenix Fashion Week.

I got to the hotel at 6pm and spent three hours steaming all of the clothes. (Yes, I am a master steamer now. haha.) After transferring all the looks onto the roof of the hotel, we spent an hour making sure the looks were in order for the models. Surprisingly, the shoes are the hardest part. They are SO annoying to get on and off during quick changes and the fit is essential to a model's walk. We ended up having to use some of the models' actual shoes because we didn't have the perfect size in every shoe. Make it work, right?

Each look represented a character of the tv show - Miranda, Carrie, Samantha and Charlotte. I dressed the models representing Carrie and Miranda. It was soooooo much fun and soooooo much work! Check out some of the looks!

Wedding Ready

Wedding Ready by Alexandra Evjen featuring French Connection dresses Items in this set:

It was three years ago that I got hitched to my stud muffin. haha. So, in honor of my anniversary, I thought I would do a post about what to wear to weddings since wedding season has officially begun...

Prints are really big this year and great way to stand out in a sea of solid colored sun dresses.

Pearls go with everything and are the perfect accessory for your ensemble.

Lastly, wear eye catching shoes. Of course, you have to be able to walk in them, but great shoes get noticed!
