My One (And Only) Outfit Post + In Her Shoes Feature

TGIF my friends.  I've had a whirlwind of a week. The decision to wear 5" heels last night to Fashion Houston has me a little regretful today, but nonetheless I'll continue to suffer for fashion.  Before heading to the Wortham Theater, I stopped off at Therapy Hair Studio to get glammed up for the night.  Aubrie did my makeup, and Kelsey gave me some serious volume and curl.  They gave me just the confidence I needed to walk the red carpet.

Here I am with Monica, a dear blogger friend of mine that blogs over at Classy & Fabulous, before the shows started:

{On me: BCBG Luke Jacket/BCBG faux leather leggings/Christian Louboutin platform pumps/Aldo handbag (old), similar here}

Monica is in Jerri Moore, an up and coming Houston designer that showcased her Spring 2013 collection last night.  It was full of bright poppy color and loose draping, which I love.

The highlight for the night was seeing the Monique Lhuillier collection. I did my best to get good shots, but not too much luck my friends:

A big "thank you" to On the Mark for sponsoring me.

In other news, today I am showing a peek in to my life on Effortless Style blog.  Camila is a 

talented (and sweet) interior designer based near NYC, and I've been a fan of her blog 

(and her work!) for a very long time.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Prepping for Fashion Houston

"Designers.... make it work!!!"

Ever since the advent of Project Runway, I have been obsessed with fashion shows and the behind-the-scenes process that goes in to making them a success.  Nowadays, I just stalk the fashion resource rooms on the 2nd floor of the Art Institute to watch in awe as the fashion students sew, cut, tear, and ultimately create beautiful pieces.  It's very similar to Project Runway.

The fashion scene in Houston is getting ready to hit the spotlight with international fashion icons bringing their latest designs to FASHION HOUSTON 2012.  Today is the opening day of Fashion Houston, sponsored by Audi, and I couldn't be more excited.  The lineup this week is unbelievable, but tonight BCBGMAXAZRIA is the star. To get in the zone, I popped in to their store over the weekend and fell in love with way too much.  I left with leather pants and a chic cropped jacket, but I wanted to take the whole store with me.  Here's what I plan to wear tonight:

Delicious, no?  Sorry for the blurry top.  I will be in the press section throughout the week and will let you know my thoughts.  Therapy Hair Studio has been kind enough to do my hair and makeup for Thursday's show.  Nothing I love more than a good blow out and some dark eyeliner.  It's going to be a good week, friends!  

Hervé Léger by Max Azria, Zac Posen, Monique Lhuillier, Black Halo by Laurel Berman, and many more. Local designers Jerri Moore, David Peck and Chloe Dao will showcase their latest pieces throughout the week.
