Backstage with Goldie at VFW

Last week I spent 3 days in Vancouver, B.C. walking in their fashion week. It was definitely their best season yet. The venue moved from the Chinese Cultural Center to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, where they had set up tents. 

I'm looking forward to sharing all the different collections I walked for with you, but let me start with Goldie. This was my third season walking for this designer. Her ready-to-wear collections never disappoint. The makeup for her show was soft on the eyes and a bright pink lip. The hair was soft waves. Below you can see some of the photos from backstage.

After the show was over, my husband and I headed out to the VFW after party at Cabana nightclub. The music was great and the hors d'oeuvres were delicious.  I even found a panda on the way! 

And finally here's a photo from the runway captured by Dale Rollings.

Vancouver Fashion Week FW 2014

Two weeks ago I was up in Vancouver, B.C. for fashion week. This season I had the opportunity to walk for Goldie London again. I loved their Spring/Summer 2014 collection that I wore last season so much, I could hardly wait to slip into whatever they had for me this one.

This particular show was a bit of a monumental occasion for me. My husband, who has never seen me walk in any shows before, was not only there, but sitting in the front at the top of the runway. Talk about butterflies as a got ready to step onto the runway and saw my guy across the way! I felt like one special girl!

Enjoy the photos he took from his view, along with a video he shot of me walking up the runway!

Here is the video shot by Ben.

[ Vancouver Fashion Week Recap ] The Runway Is Golden

Looks from Goldie at Vancouver Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2014. 

There may be a buzz in Milan, but let's be honest, when my bff is walking the runway, chances are my excitement is going to shift to a time zone a little closer to home. As you know, last week dré walked for several shows in Vancouver Fashion Week. There were a couple designers in the line up that caught my eye for their ready to wear appeal.

Above I captured a few looks from London designer Goldie that had me saying, "Can I get that dress!?" Unfortunately, dré was too busy stealing the show to receive my telepathic plee. Le sigh. 

Love the look, but can't wait for spring? I don't blame you. Check out the Autumn 2013 collection here!
