Beginning October 15th, to celebrate the new addition to Scottsdale Fashion Square, check out the “Mannequin is Our Muse” displays. The mannequins were created by a wide variety of people – including Scottsdale Fashion Square retailers, local designer Susan Di Staulo, Mesa Community College Students, my darling friend Jill DeAndrea of The Impeccable Eye and one from Simon Doonan, the Creative Director of Barneys New York.

Each mannequin is unique and a work of art. A jury will decide the Top 5 mannequins to be displayed at Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art through October.

The moment we’ve all been waiting for, dreaming about is nearly here! The opening of the new “East Wing” of Scottsdale Fashion Square. The new addition to my favorite mall includes Barneys New York, Forever 21, a HUGE Banana Republic, True Religion Store, Modern Steak and more! I’m super duper excited.
The fabulous ladies at Westcor invited me recently to tour the new wing. Here’s a few pictures from my tour. Cannot wait until Thursday! Will you be at the Barneys or Banana Republic opening? What’s the first thing you plan on buying at Barneys? If you eat at Modern Steak, make sure to check out the interiors! The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous with the sparkly back walls, white lattice on the ceiling and the sexy, hot pink bathroom. I wish my house looked as fabulous!

I’m really excited about this new section of the mall. It’s palatial, shiny, new and welcoming! Happy shopping! Keep checking for more fabulous events surrounding the opening this week!

Hard to believe this gorgeous young woman is a mother of 3 young boys! Gabrielle is one of my favorite Phoenix models because she’s beautiful and sweet inside and out! Take a few minutes to meet this FORD/Robert Black Agency model-mommy below…
1. When did you start modeling? When my oldest sons where 2 & 4 years old, so it was 2004. I did my first hair show in 2004, but after that I did tons of photo shoots with traveling & local photographers. My first designer fashion show was with VMarie & Stash Boutique, it was for Sonoran Spotlight Magazine in 2007.
2. What’s your favorite part of modeling? Runway, print, etc. and why? Actually all of it. When walking the runway I get to spend time with my fashion friends. When doing a photo shoot it’s always something different! Meeting new people or helping come up with awesome ideas. I just love wearing the fabulous clothes I get to wear just doing my job!
3. What do you do when you’re not working the runway or camera? I am a stay at home mother. I get to wake everyone up for school, drive them around, clean house, run errands, grocery shop, be mommy and taking care of my 16 month old youngest son. Also, I love sewing! It’s just a hobby, it might become more later down the road, but I have been sewing for about 5 years. I know my way around drawing & sewing patterns. My Nanae, Sara Adame, was a painter, designer and she sews until this day. I’m sure I get those talents from her.
4. How has motherhood changed your modeling career or perspective on your career? My life is dedicated to my family first, so modeling is just something I get to enjoy. For me it’s not really about the money made or the traveling done. Like stated before I really just love clothes! So what’s better than getting to enjoy them and wear them!?!
5. Where’s your favorite places to shop locally? In all honesty, I don’t get much me-time to shop! But when I do go shopping it’s Fry’s, Walmart, Target… LOL!! I have three sons!!
