My what a busy month......

Halloween was awesome! I'm still trying to find some photos from the costume party at the Fez, but so far this is my favorite candid one at my friend Terra's Halloween party.
Yes I'm a pin cushion. And yes, Honey Boo Boo is next to me.

I love this time of year, but there has been SO much going on. 

Here is a write up of Fashion Speaks. I didn't sound like a crackhead. Bonus.

Here is what is coming up!

Friday 11/9
Dove Lewis benefit DoveAdore featureing Boutiques Unleashed. I LOVE this event. I have a few pals that work at Dove Lewis (though I hate to see them there, because it usually means I'm there with one of my brood), but I have to say I am sure glad they are there the times I have needed them. I'm showing two looks and Max, the cutest dog in the world, is making his runway debut at the ripe old age of 15! I am dressing two humans and 2 dogs. Both boys, so of course they will be wearing dog tuxedos.

I am not personally a part of this, but several stores that carry my line are! This holiday season SHOP LOCAL! Speak with your spending. I cannot believe how may stores are participating this year. Plus no sharp elbows at 4am with crazed shoppers holding lattes.

She already snapped one up of my car:


Inspired by National Novel Writing Month which oddly enough ended up in my always accurate horoscope by Free Will Astrology by Rob Brezney:

Every November, thousands of writers participate in National Novel Writing Month. They pledge to compose at least 50,000 words of a new novel in that 30-day period. In accordance with the astrological omens, Aquarius, I propose that you commit yourself to a comparable project in your own field. Is there a potential masterpiece on which you could get a substantial amount of work done? Is there a major transformation you've long wanted to undertake but have always had some excuse to avoid? I predict that you will attract unexpected help and luck if you summon the willpower to focus on that task.  


On that note, back to my world domination plans. Because they're on.

Fade to Light: A Multidimensional Fashion Event

Next Wednesday I'm excited and proud to participate in Fade to Light: A Multidimensional Fashion Event. In my, uhm, old age (ok not really, but I sometimes I feel like I am going on 80) I have been participating in fewer and fewer fashion shows. There are only 3 people in town that I will always say yes to if they are running backstage, and one of those is Elizabeth Mollo the producer of this show. She's the glue behind the scenes at Portland Fashion week.

After some thought I decided to show my Spring/Summer line. Mainly since it had never seen the light of runway. Which was a little odd, but again see above about old lady. 

I'm stoked to be in the line up with:
Solestruck x Black Milk
Studio SKB by Bryce Black
Chicago Harper by Joshua Buck
Clair Vintage Inspired
Ms. Wood



A little pre-show loves from:
Portland Monthly Mag
Portland Mercury 

Music by:
DiscJockey Gregarious (my official turning 29 again DJ)
Brainstorm


Also very excited that the lovely ladies from Salon Capelli will be there doing hair. 5 years ago I met Kira Pinksi, at my very first fashion show I did with Clair Vintage Inspired. So I love the fact that half a decade later we are still doing things together.
