Austin Fashion Week 2016 Recap

I was super excited to get a few free nights last week to attend Austin Fashion Week (thanks to Alex and my Mom for watching the kiddos)! I had just gone back to work so I didn't have a lot of extra time to get my hair done so I had a blowout at Vent Blotique and it lasted both nights I attended. What's funny is that unintentionally before each show I had burgers. The last thing I wanted to be was hungry at a fashion show. Who cares about the food baby ruining my figure anyway.

Both nights I saw amazing collections by project runway stars and local designers. Some of my favorites were Lindsey Creel and Katie Kime. I sipped on prosecco from the event sponsor, Chloe Wine Collection, and I couldn't stop staring at all the beautiful and unique outfits the attendees were wearing. It was a people watcher's dream! Night one I chatted with a lot of my fellow Austin bloggers, and night two my beautiful neighbor, Olivia, joined me. It was a great Mom's night out, and a few people were in shock when we told them how many kids we have. We still got it girl!

Thank you to Fashion X Austin and Pom PR for another great event! Here's to next year!

Hair done and burgers to go...feeling good!
Dress: Gap. Heels: BCBG via DSW

The man of the night. I'm not kidding you when I say EVERY woman in the place was cheering when this guy walked down the runway. Hello silver fox!

Austin Fashion Week: STARS Runway Show

I attended my last event at Austin Fashion Week last Friday night, the STARS Runway Show featuring 8 of Project Runway's top designers. I picked up my blogger bestie, Erica, and we headed downtown. Straightening my curly hair wasn't a great idea as it began to pour the second I left my house, but I embraced my frizz. I chose to wear this comfy a-line skirt and a crop top to keep it simple.

Top: Forever 21. Skirt: Express. Shoes: Chelsea Crew via Creature's Boutique. Clutch: Thrifted.


Kaleigh, Michelle, Brittany & Celine - These ladies are wonderful. I wish we had more time to talk!

Oh my goodness, the La Miniatura by Jeffrey Sebelia show was amazing and these little boys make me want to NEVER cut Turner's hair. I also need to get him a suit asap. I used to watch Project Runway religiously, and Jeffrey was one of my favorite designers of all time.  I was excited to see him in person!

One of my favorite parts of the night was catching up with amazing Austin bloggers and meeting new faces (well, not really because I already followed most of them on Instagram). We have a wonderful community of bloggers in our city, and it feels like a very small world!


I can't wait till next year's fashion week! I'm sure it is going to be bigger and better.

Austin Fashion Week: Discovery Runway Show



It was my first time to attend a runway show last Thursday, and Austin Fashion Week did not disappoint.  I had a front row seat with my girl Emilie, and absolutely loved seeing the work of up and coming designers.  The rain thankfully stopped right before the event, and I wore my favorite new skort....so comfy. 

Top: Vince Camuto. Skort: Abercrombie and Fitch (only $20 right now). Wedges: DV by Dolce Vita via Nordstrom.

Emilie from Fashion Conspiracy
Designer Tinsley Radix - Obsessed with the sequin dress!
Designer Caycee Black

Mysterious by NPN
My favorite designer of the night was Mysterious by NPN. Loved the gorgeous gowns and how the hats increased in size with each model.
After the show, we headed upstairs to the VIP area and scarfed our face in THE MOST amazing desserts. Macarons, cream puffs, petit fours, cake balls, chocolate covered oreos, mini eclairs and more...ahhh, sugar coma.

Austin Fashion Week Kickoff

I attended Austin Fashion Week's Kickoff event last Friday at Speakeasy. What an amazing venue...3 levels, bowling, an amazing rooftop deck, and located in the heart of downtown Austin on Congress between 5th & 6th. The place was absolutely packed but had a great vibe. Models were style based off different eras and making their way through the venue showing off their looks...I was obsessed with the model from the 70's (see event photos here).

I attended the event solo, but knew I would run in to some of my favorite Austin bloggers - Jennifer & Melissa from Seek Wander Share, Dani Austin, Erica Louie, Ashley Hargrove, Courtney Shields, and Kaleigh.  I had a blast chatting with everyone! 

Jumpsuit: Loft. Shoes: Creatures Boutique. Clutch: Lulu's

With the lovely Jennifer & Melissa from Seek Wander Share

Right as Erica and I were about to leave, we were asked if we wanted some free champagne. Uhh...of course! So, we headed to the roof top, and ended up being a part of a promo video for the venue. Random, but fun. Erica and I got to spend some quality time chatting about our next ATX Blogger Mixer, and we are super excited!


I'm looking forward to more events this week. I'll be at the DISCOVER and STARS fashion shows...you can still grab tickets here! Follow me on Instagram for more event pics.

Spice up your life


Weekends are too short, they always fly by way too quickly. Friday, I hung out with friends downtown and watched everyone enjoy many beers while I drank water like a champ. Saturday, I worked an Austin Fashion Week event at Langford Market, and Sunday I completed a bunch of projects around my apartment that I needed to get done (clean out the storage closet, take a load of junk to Goodwill, finish a yarn letter for Turner's future nursery, etc.).




I spent way too much time working on this, but I love it. 

 Sunday night ended perfectly with two words...SPICE GIRLS! Watching the Spice Girls perform at the Olympic's closing ceremony completed my weekend. I ran straight to the TV and sat indian style like a small child the entire performance taking pictures and video on my phone. My favorite was always a toss up between Sporty & Scary Spice. I'm sure if you're reading this blog, you loved the Spice Girls too ; ) Who was your favorite?
