It's Been A While

It's been a while since I've had the time and/or energy to write anything. SOOOO much has happened and there have been some major changes in my life and lots of adjustments have had to be made. I think I'm past the worst of it and the chaos has finally calmed down, so I feel up to posting a little something tonight.

Eventually I'll get around to talking about all of the changes, namely moving from the apartment complex where we lived for three years to a much bigger condo and also getting a new car! There's also been a ton of other major events I've been dealing with- some good, some sad, some fun - but I probably won't write about those since they're not fully my stories to tell.

But tonight's entry is all about Sacramento Fashion Week. The boutique I work for was a part of the showing last Sunday and I had the privilege of helping them out at the show. Yes, I worked the merch booth, but I also got to schmooze with people, eat some tasty snacks, and imbibe free booze too! Oh yeah, and did I mention sitting front row VIP for the show?? My job is the coolest sometimes.

Below are a smattering of pictures from the show. It was a lot of fun and our boutique, French Cuff Consignment, went first down the runway. My bosses even booked a live singer instead of boring old trance runway music. :) I also got some self-esteem boosts because everywhere I went people asked me who I was walking for and I even got a modeling gig offer!

This hat was something else. Just huge and feathery!

One of the models from our show. Notice the singer in the background. :)

Crooning away.

The singer also had some smooth dance moves.

This was a sneak peek of the designers who would be showing full collections at a later date and time. 

That's a pretty awesome strappy bathing suit, although I know I have seen similar ones before. 

I'd model if I always got to wear outfits like this! Black and sheer and heels!

Me and my boss taking selfies before the show started.

Cheers! The champagne was free!

You can see me off to the right side of the photo…all that blonde hair. 

Me having a good time being front row in the VIP section.

A last silly pic of me and my boss, Mama Darcy. :-P I got a ton of compliments on my spiked headband.

Until next time!

A Fashion Show at District 30

Last night I got all gussied up for a fashion show at a local club called District 30. We didn't end up seeing the fashion show or staying out super late because all my friends (and Kyle) had work the next morning, but it was still fun.

This is the interior of District 30. It's set up very strange for a club (in my opinion) because it's basically one long hallway of a venue. Here I am scratching my face and not paying attention to Kyle taking a picture. For some reason, there's a speck of light at just the proper place to make it look like my finger is radiating sparkles or something. Also, it looks like I'm flipping him off, but I'm not, I promise. 

Here we are outside on the patio having fun. I was already three drinks in at this point, so yeah….

Outfit front view. Loving the high-low hems right now. 

Crop top  - Rue 21; Chiffon high-low tank - Heavenly Couture; Boots - Demonia

After I drank three cocktails (did I mention the drinks were FREE??) I was pretty tipsy and Kyle was also ready to head home, so even though it was only 11:30 and the fashion show had not even started, we called it a night.

Until next time!
