Fashion Week Scottsdale

Hi All !

Last night Scottsdale and the Valley had Fashion Night Out. This is an annual event to commemorate the start of New York Fashion Week . The event is put on by Westcor which owns the major malls in the Valley like Scottsdale and Chandler Fashion Malls and Keirland Commons. 

The event is always high energy. Of course you start the evening out with Neiman Marcus. Neiman's always has a first rate fashion show, impeccable food and the best mocktails to be found. This year you were able to have your photo taken with props. Very nice.




Not my greatest shots but the front on shots had to deleted because they were to blurry to salvage.

I left Neiman's and headed to Barney's of New York. Champagne, regular water and fizzy water decorated were the order of the day. They had new staffers who were MUCH friendlier. Smile. I tried a new product they are carrying which comes from the rainforest. The line is called "RAHUA" (pronounced RA-WA). So I'll have to let you know how it works out. Barney's had a soap that was $25.00 a bar. I don't know where it serves it purpose or not but the bar itself was a work of art.

I left Barney's and went to Aveda's Salon and Spa because I wanted a new eye treatment. I have Grave's disease which makes my eyes look puffy all the time. (Worse case scenario is the bulging eye syndrome. My sister had reached this point and had to have eye surgery to relieve the pressure). Crystal did a fabulous job. She showed me how to not apply the eye shadow to the corner of my eye which would enhance the puffiness and drag down the eye lid. Instead she showed me where to add a lighter color to reduce the look of puffiness and to bring the lines of my eyes up. Sorry I didn't take a picture.

So what are you doing to enjoy Fashion Week in you area. Girls Nite Out, a local fashion show, a fundraiser? What's on your agenda?

Looking forward to your comments.

African Fashion Week August 2012

Hi All


African Fashion Week takes place throughout the year from London to New York to South Africa as Africa Designers choose to present their own designs to the world instead of just have interpretations done without giving credit to the country or region in Africa that inspired the interpretation.

African Fashion Week New York July 12-17, 2012

The commentator for the New York video, I think, best describes why we have this plethora of African Fashion shows throughout the year all over the world.

I have always loved the way Africans throughout the continent can take colors Americans have been taught "don't go together" and make amazing color combinations and they WORK.

If you have a favorite African designer or outfit you love please share. If you can't put it in the comment email me (http://mshawkins55@gmail.com) a picture and I will add it.

Thanks
