Marita

Yesterday I shared my backstage experience with Ocksa, and today I want to share Marita with you. Marita was neck and neck for me in the shows I have walked in. This collection was exquisite. Each garment hand made to perfection. The hair was simple, a parted a and slick low bun. The makeup was simple as well, with a bit of highlighting on the upper cheekbone, and blue lips.

I was obsessed with the color scheme as I am a lover of turquoise. Check out all the photos I got backstage and see the beautiful clothes for yourselves. Take note, the top I'm wearing was sooooo heavy!

Ocksa

It's been a few weeks now since I walked in VFW, but I've been dying to share these photos from the Ocksa show. This show had to have been one of my most favorite shows I have ever walked for. 
The designers come from Brazil and their S/S '15 collection had layers upon layers. The hair was rough and full of texture on top, while the sides were slicked back. The makeup was a look that I've seen before, but never worn myself—a "no features" look. That's right. Foundation and concealer on everything, including eyebrows, eyelashes, and lips. I felt a little scary looking, and I kinda liked it!

My youngest got to come watch the show which she was pretty excited about. She was loving all the fashion, making sure she got to do her own fashion pose after she was done hanging out with me backstage.

The mood of the show was " we don't want to be here". So one by one we reluctantly shuffled down the runway. 

Watch the show in its entirety (and catch me at 1:19:15!) here!

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.

Weekend Style: Fashion Week in Milan + Vancouver

The camera doesn't lie, we've got some nostalgic pieces to look forward to next year. Not to say I was alive for 70s fashion, but this is one fashion trend that will have to be styled with care. Why not watch MFW live while you enjoy your cup of coffee and let me know your thoughts in the comments below?

After that, show the Canadian's some love! It's Vancouver Fashion Week, too.

 
You can even show dré some love by voting for her as VFW's favorite model! See details below!

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.
