Repeat Offender!

I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this in previous post, but I'm definitely not that chick whose afraid to repeat/ recycle the same piece or pieces. I try to buy timeless pieces that I can wear for years to come, and that can be mixed and matched with other items to keep it fresh. I'm also not afraid to be photographed in the same outfit/ pieces twice because 9 times out of 10 I've created a completely different look, almost to the point where you may not even notice if you've seen me in it before! I'm not a millionaire just yet, so buying cloths just to wear once or twice isn't happening. I have some friends that cringe at the thought of posting a pic on Insta or any social media for that matter, wearing a repeat outfit, it makes me chuckle just at the thought of it! So, I just wanted to share with you guys a few of my looks based around one piece, I love this Leopard Print dress that I got from H&M a few years back, I've paired it with everything from my over the knee boots, to my vintage Motorcycle Boots. It truly looks good with just about anything and its always an easy go to outfit when I'm pressed for time, or just cant figure out what to wear.

VAFW 2014

I cant believe its almost time again for VA Fashion Week, I remember attending one of the VAFW showcases this same time last year, it was a rainy cool Fall evening. Despite the cool weather and rain my fit was dope that night, I wore my leopard print H&M dress, with my Moto boots, and black Fedora. Doesn't seem like a whole year has passed, anyway I'm super excited to be attending this years festivities, the wheels are already turning in my head as to what look I want to go for this year. Over 25 new designers will be showcased during VAFW this year, including Lizzi London a Fashion Designer from London, England whose collection will be shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Virginia Beach. I love how fashion changes and evolves even over just a short period of time, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what this years up and coming designers bring to the show! Its so refreshing attending events like this especially in VA, I love connecting and networking with others who have the same passion and love for the fashion culture as I do. I've met so many amazingly interesting people over the past few years, especially since I've been blogging. If any of my readers live in VA and plan on attending VAFW please leave me a comment I would love to meet some of you!

The opening show "Fashion For a Cause" will be held right here in RVA on Sunday October 5th, 2014 from 3-6pm at Celebrate Downtown located at 103 E Broad St. Super excited that one of the VAFW showcases is being held right here this year! Hope all my Richmond fashion lovers will be in attendance supporting this event!

VAFW 2013 Recap

I got a chance to attend the Day of Designers (part 2) Fashion Show during VAFW this year! This event is held in the Williamsburg/ VA Beach area, and being that I'm in Richmond I knew that I wouldn't be able to attend all the festivities, but I was stoked that I at least made it out to one. The fashion show was held in Trinkle Hall on the campus of William & Mary, this was a little treat because it was my first time on this beautiful historic campus. My friends and I walked around for about 30 minutes looking for Trinkle Hall not realizing we passed it about five times, it was cold and rainy out but eventually we made our way into the show! I had VIP Front Row tickets, but being that we were late and the show already started my seats were taken, so I made my way to a little stage where all the media and photographers were staked out. It ended up being the perfect location to sit, I grabbed a little corner of the stage had a seat and started snapping away! I enjoyed the show; a lot of the pieces I saw were well constructed and ready to wear! I must say one of my favorite designers of the evening was none other than Project Runway Season 12 contestant Angela Bacskocky. Her pieces caught my eye immediately, they were modern and fresh with a bit of edginess to them, I'm looking forward to seeing more from her in the future! Here are some of my favorite pieces and moments from the show, enjoy!

This shot is really about this models amazing legs!
