Ruca and Paul’s Birthday Fashion Show

Kira — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 04:01:13 +0000

It was a fashion filled weekend! Friday night’s impromptu fashion show to celebrate local industry friends, Ruca Haute and Paul Sebring. You know Paul’s photography work from local magazines, designers and event celebrity shoots in LA. Recently, he’s been working in Haiti and photographing his time there. Check it out at sebringphotography.com. And be warned – the pictures from Haiti are tearjerkers!!

The show was a collaboration of local stylists, designers and models.

The following was styled by Jill DeAndrea with clothing from Dillards:

I love the navy and black combo. And the flower is just fabulous.

Check the crimped hair by Ruca. I am DYING for crimped hair!!

Did you notice the neutral pump? Goes with everything for spring!

The models pre-show.

A few selections by local designer Bree Bridge with Beth Church Jewelry…

And I had no idea, but there was some of my favorite Angela Johnson pieces in the show…

My absolute favorite. I just love.

Well, what a way to celebrate one’s birthday!

It’s Freezin’

It’s freezin’ today!! But, too late in the season to invest in winter clothes. Time to get creative…

Wear a simple black or white fitted long sleeve t-shirt under your favorite tank dress. Or, try an Micro-Mesh Long Sleeve Mini Dress from American Apparel under your tank dress for a more sheer, modern look. A couple of quick ways to layer up and keep warm for the next few rainy, chilly days!

My Two Cents on the Oscars…

Kira — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 06:03:52 +0000

I just love the Oscars. If you didn’t see the gowns, you’ll be seeing them this week in mags, on E!, the internet, everywhere. So fun! I’m sure my favorite dresses right now, will be my least favorite by the end of the week. However, I’m pretty sure I won’t shake my disappointment in SJP’s Chanel dress. I can’t believe I just wrote that I am disappointed in my fashion idol! I do love the back detail and the soft yellow silk, but it’s just not working for me.

The biggest surprise of the night for me was Molly Ringwald. Surprised that she was was invited, but also pleasantly surprised in how fabulous she looks. I love the color of the dress on her and she just looks great.

Finally, how can you not win when you look so statuesque and beautiful? Just stunning…
