Upcoming Fashion Events in San Diego

If you live in San Diego or will happen to be in San Diego this month, here are a couple fashion events you may be interested in attending...

Project Ethos at the House of Blues - Project Ethos wants to close the gap between the Indie and Mainstream worlds by serving as an incubator for emerging talents.

On Thursday, September 15th at 8pm, local up and coming fashion designers, musicians and artists all come together to showcase their innovative talent.   The runway show will begin at 10pm where the official sponsor, vitaminwater zero™, lends its support at this affair by sponsoring the "Flavor Fashionista Challenge." Designers are given the opportunity to win prizes valued up to $3,000 if their garment is chosen as the winning design as inspired by a vitaminwater zero™ flavor through a live text-to-vote.  Students from The Art Institute of California participating in the design challenge include Cecilia Torres, Elina Sheripova, Haley Hanson, Amanda Alkas and Steven Mayor.

The charity partner for this event is NEST, a nonprofit organization that empowers female artists around the world through interest free loans, offers mentoring from established artists and designers as well as providing a market to sell their crafts, successfully moving women from poverty to self-sufficiency. Project Ethos plans to donate $1 from every ticket sold to cause.

The Nightie Has Officially Made Me a Woman

My cute new nightie
Today I was at KMart to buy some necessities and noticed a long row of $4.99 sale racks outside.  Of course the bargain hunter in me was itching to see if there was anything to be had.  I ended up finding a cute light blue tube top nightie with these colorful hearts on it.

After putting on the new nightie tonight, I've decided to say goodbye to the t-shirt and sweats night time uniform for good.  Well, even if I wanted to, I couldn't even sleep in t-shirt and sweats because of the summer heat wave we've been having here in San Diego.  It's actually tempted me to just sleep naked.  I'm sure my guy would love that!

After I wrote about getting out of the nightwear rut, I've been inspired to shop for fun and flirty pajamas;  something I could sleep in and even just wear around the house during the day.  I was browsing the nightwear for women at Ellos.co.uk and can't seem to get away from the black and white horizontal stripes.  I could even wear this nightie with leggings and call it a day.  Being a practical person, I'm all for buying clothing that can do double duty.

Nightwear for women at Ellos

I guess now you can say that I've officially become a "woman".  I care that my underwear and bra matches and I like to shop for lingerie and nighties.  A whole new world has opened up for me!  Now I just have to go through my drawers to make room for a lingerie and nightwear wardrobe...and maybe order a Victoria's Secret catalog too while I'm at it.  My mom and best friend will be proud :)

New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2012 Collections: Favorites So Far

"I think trends have trended out."

John Patrick of Organic was quoted in Style.com, which just posted a review of his latest collection for Spring/Summer New York Fashion Week.

Ah, yes, NYFW is back! Although I can't participate in the festivities (I'll live vicariously through my NY fashion blogger friends), I always get a little giddy and excited around this time of year. It's about the only time I log onto Style.com to check out runway photos and find inspiration for articles.

Besides Organic by John Patrick, I've taken a look at the collections from BCBG Max Azria and Nicholas K. Every season I am inspired by some, if not all, of the pieces by BCBG. This Spring/Summer 2012 collection truly resonates with the geometric style of design that I love.  The fluidity of the dresses is both feminine and romantic.  These are some of my favorite pieces from the collection (photos from Style.com)...

BCBG Max Azria Spring/Summer 2012



This last dress is my absolute favorite.  Everything about it from the design to the pattern and the colors I just love. 

Can't attend NY Fashion Week either?  No worries - you can now watch LIVE runway shows on YouTube courtesy of Maybelline.  Thank God for technology!

Your Face Will Love You For This

Besides drinking water, one of the best things you can do to maintain a healthy, youthful glow is to get a facial or give yourself a facial on a regular basis. This is especially true if you've been doing alot of traveling this summer. When you travel, you're exposed to different climates, which can dry out your skin and/or clog up your pores.

I don't know about you, but I really enjoy giving myself a facial. So you can understand my excitement in receiving the new Rosemary & Herb Facial Steam Syrup from Shea Terra Organics.

This syrup is very easy to use. Simply dip a face towel into a mixture of 1 teaspoon facial syrup and 3 cups hot water and pat the towel on your face. You'll instantly feel it going to work, making your face feel tingly while clearing your sinuses or congestion you may have. Use it 2-3 times a week to give your face the TLC it deserves. I've been following it up with the Ester C Serum by Kiss My Face and moisturizer or cocoa butter.

Ingredients include: pure vegetable glycerin, rosemary essential oil, lavender essential oil, myrtle essential oil, peppermint essential oil, Egyptian calendula, Egyptian chamomile, green rooibos, and spearmint leaf

I love reading about a company's background and what the inspiration was for their products. Tammie Umbel, the creator of Shea Terra, has a great story.
