FRIDAY ESSENTIAL: Blush


If you love pink like I do then you are definitely doing a happy dance this fall/winter season. Yes, the color that is a staple for Spring has decided to stick around for the cooler seasons. Blush, Rose, and Mauves are everywhere! I'm particularly loving seeing my "signature color"(catch my Steel Magnolias tease) in over sized coats, chunky duster sweaters and fun bomber jackets that are on trend this season.


Of course pink is ultra feminine and lets be honest...can be plain ol' "girly" but you don't have to go full on Barbie or Elle Woods to brave this color.

While, I love some monochromatic looks like...

Jason Wu's pant suit and matching bag


Or Suki Waterhouse wearing Ralph & Russo Couture


I personally love seeing my beloved Blush combined with other colors like grey, black, burgundy, or olive.

Pairing comfy leggings and a belted vest or cardigan is simple way to chic!

Try a dusty pink with grey for a more muted look!

Or a crisp white shirt and skinny jeans with sneakers to keep it casual.

Bombers are the bomb! I'm especially digging the ones with the embroidery detail

or how about the jackets that are mix of fabric textures!

Since I've been crushing so hard on this color I have put together a look book of sorts featuring blushy pink outfits from my own closet. I cant wait to share those looks in an upcoming post so STAY TUNED!

In the meantime, lets get the conversation started! Are you digging all the pink this season? What ways are you rocking this color?

Let's get RAW!

Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of showcasing my line at one of the hottest art shows in the city- RAW Dallas!

RAW is an independent organization by artist, for artist. It provides indie artists an opportunity to showcase their talents ranging from visual art, film, fashion design, music, performance art, hair and makeup artistry, and photography. It is not your typical art show! Its loud, high energy and just a lot of different things going on all at one time! Its AWESOME!
Unfortunately, it was the farewell showcase for the Dallas market but I was super excited to be chosen to be part of the action!  I've been really enjoying designing and making handbags lately so for this show I  chose not to do runway and focus on just showcasing.
Thank you to everyone who hashtagged!
Check some highlight pics from the other great artists! The thing that makes this show so amazing is the diversity of art and artists!

The host kept the energy going all night! Loved their costuming!




                                                        Great Runway Presentations!
Makeup Artist Showcase
This particular artist showcase is most memorable to me because I remember how the audience responded to the art. It definitely held everyone's attention in a way where people were trying to draw their own meaning. What message was the artist trying to convey? It was very interesting and I wish I knew who the artist was to see what the inspiration was for his art.




I especially enjoyed ALL the performers! Dallas has SO much dope musical talent.

Special Effects body art and beautiful henna designs.


Shouts out to Three Masters Bonafide Bowties! So great to see that he is still at it!


Performance Art!






Your Royal Badness! I shot some video of myself way too hype over the brief Prince tribute but truthfully it was too embarrassing to post! LOL
I knew it was gonna happen! An onstage proposal....LOVE was definitely in the air!


Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. It was everything I knew it was gonna be and more! So grateful to have been part of a great show. Thank you to everyone who came to support the show!
