My apologies for being so late on this, I'm a pretty busy girl! I was invited by a lovely PR girl that was working with Plastic Makes it Possible and Becs of Style with Benefits to attend the Gen Art Fresh Faces of Fashion show last Thursday. Luckily it was in my neighborhood because I was only able to change my flats into heels and grabbed my camera after work, headed to my friend Maeva's and waited for her to get ready. Very last minute indeed, but was so glad I got to finally meet Becs and her equally stylish twin Melanie.

(backstage: Becs, Maeva, Me, Melanie)

Though you could barely see in the photo (credit to becs). I was wearing a vintage Escada tuxedo blazer, black sheer tee from Express, BCBG necklace, F21 jeans and LAMB 'Cho' heels.

It's a bit surreal meeting people who you've only been reading, commenting, and looking at photos behind the screen. Glad that Becs is as fun as her photos portray her to be. It felt like we've already met before. And of course, saying hi to other bloggers that attended like Neekoh of Live Love LA, Raych of That's Chic, and Krystal of What is Reality Anyways? Wished I knew the links of other bloggers that I met that night because they're all lovely people. Though I didn't stay after the show (the boyfriend was waiting for me to go to dinner), I still had a great time!

It's going to be a long post, so I've put some outfits I like from each designers and then the line up to keep it short and sweet.

the cat walk

amazing fur coat during the pre-reception

backstage line up

this girl, who ever this was had a pretty cool blazer on

she looked almost like a mixture of Greek meets Pocahontas

moments before the show

these 2 girls looked important, but not sure who they were.

Layendecker

Layendecker started the show and I really like the mixture of texture in their collection. Very cool cut out leggings that created an illusion it was part of the sandals.

Seneca Rising

I thought that the layering shapes they've introduced in this collection were fun, but nothing that we haven't seen before. Not saying that it's a bad thing, because majority of us go through our basics pretty fast. Overall, I say its a very complete collection.

MG Black

Okay, so I couldn't decide on ONE photo to feature from Erik Hart's new menswear label. When designing menswear, detail is everything while keeping the tailored look as structured as possible and I think this one won my heart. Kept some photos just to show my boyfriend to give him some styling points and I also loved that 2 female models walked the runway (first shot) in this transgenderable collection. I could put a few of these in my closet for sure.

Valerj Pobega

Honestly felt that this was true to what Rock Fashion Week should feel like. Something provoking, intense, and passionate. Probably something that you would see in our Avant Garde designers. Love the converse, bondage, kimono inspired, ink spills, and exaggerated shapes.

At the end of the runway, a dancer came out and gave such an emotionally charged performance. It told the story of her collection without a word.

Rory Beca

Rory Beca brought us back to our sweet spot at the end of the show. These whimsical, flowy, and girly pieces were delicious. I was still eying for shape and movement from Pobega's collection and found a few here that I liked.

Hope you all had a happy Halloween! I certainly did. Honestly couldn't remember some of the events that took place until reviewing photos from my camera. My friends are crazy hot messes.

I wore the same lace bunny ears I made for my bday with a dress from topshop, necklace (also worn on bday) and wedge pony hair boots from bcbg. I tried to add drama all up on my eye lids, I think it came out better in the black/white photos than in real life. haha. Ryan was my vampire doctor..he created me. It only works when we're next to each other and I say "What's up Doc?"

I promised you all pictures from my bday party and here they are! I made these inspired Marc Jacob's bunny ears for my bday and everyone loved it. Every year I usually make something special. Last year I made these feather hair clips and wore a flapper styled dress..and this year I wore the most gorgeous red dress and necklace from BCBG, vintage fur shawl, and my YSL tribute pumps, though I wish I had the time to go shopping for some gold heels. I also made these bunny ears for my Halloween costume. Can't wait to wear the rest of it to my friend's house party.

Bare with me...this is going to be a super long post!!


after I finished getting dressed and about to leave.


Japanese Tacos..the size of my pinky! :/



after dinner we migrated our table to the patisserie area and met up with the rest of my friends who didn't come for dinner. I felt that the party really started at this place..I couldn't be happier!



when my ice cream that was frozen in liquid nitrogen came with a candle on a cotton candy like texture cake.


I had also ordered some darjeeling tea..I love this shot, it was a nice atmosphere.




I can't thank the friends that came enough for making this so special for me. Pictures were being taken of one after the other..I felt almost like santa claus..in a red dress! haha, yay to being 25!

Towards the end of the night, I was pretty exhausted. Sadly I didn't get a good shot of my outfit. Should have done it in the beginning, but everyone was texting/calling me like crazy. I have to thank my boyfriend for taking such wonderful pictures. I wish he was by my side, but he definitely captured the spirit :)
