The Walk 2013 SAIC

Hey guys,

Last week I went to the SAIC, The Walk Fashion Show 2013. I came as an independent blogger to blog about the event (see pictures below) and had a chance to see the amazing creations of the young talented SAIC students. I had such a great time at the show and party. I also had the chance of meeting Laura and Kate Mulleavy, the sister designers of Rodarte. They are/ were so inspirational and sweet with great advice to share. As for the fashion show, I enjoyed some of the more theatrical pieces along with the ready to wear. There were some really amazing clothes. I enjoyed the whole show but in this post I have selected some of my favorites. I wore the shirt I designed from mens pants, Elisabeth and James skirt, and my Dolce Vita block heels. Then for my mom, she wore the skirt I designed from a mens jacket, a jacket I designed from mens pants and a Calypso top, and Sam Edelman heels. I couldn't be more grateful and happy about attending this special show! I look forward to next years show! 

Enjoy!

Siem Reap, Cambodia

Hello!

This is Cambodia the conclusion to my wonderful and adventurous trip. Siem Reap, Cambodia was such a special place. The Cambodian people were so happy and incredibly nice. There are many beautiful temples and places to see. We saw so many temples in the three short days we were there for. I had so much fun photographing all of the reliefs and patterns in the stone. The carvings and faces in the rocks were my favorite! It is just amazing to see all of the detailed work someone created. Also there were some crazy trees that were grow on top of or through different parts of temples, which was really cool. Out of all of the sight seeing we did I had time for a few quick photo shoot opportunities. (by the way it was over 100 degrees everyday) I had an amazing trip, I hope that you guys like all of my pictures and information.

Enjoy,
