Backstage @ Lili Ming & IMA | Vancouver Fashion Week

It's been a week since I finished walking for Vancouver fashion week, and I know there are people eager to see photos of what I did! Take a walk with me backstage at the shows for Lili Ming and IMA.

Below is a shot of my hair and makeup or Lili Ming. I loved this look! The hair was a soft undone French twist, and the lips were two toned. If you look closely you will see they are orange in the center and hot pink in the corners. I will definitely be stealing this for a makeup look I do in the future!

This collection showcased 5 collections within the collection, and sent over 80 pieces down the runway! I guess when someone tells them to get ready for a show, they don't play!  Below, you will see two of the three dresses I wore down the runway.

The second show I walked in this evening was for IMA. It was so crazy backstage, with a shortage of hair and makeup people, that my hair skills were put to the test! I did my own hair for the show! I thought the makeup was fun for this too. Very soft, with a bit mor drama around the eyes!

Theses lovely little ladies in the middle are the designers for this collection. The clothing is all yoga/athletic inspired, and all the models were loving how comfortable and adorable that each piece was! I defiantly plan on buying from them in the future!

Roaming The Streets

Vancouver, B.C. is such a beautiful city! So with all of the hectic ness, I've tried to make it a point to get out and see the sights ( and get a little shopping in too! )!! 

I made sure to snap a photo of the venue for Vancouver Fashion Week, for all of you to see! It's right in the heart of Chinatown, which I thoroughly enjoyed exploring yesterday! I then walked from there to the downtown area, for a little shopping trip to Zara. It's a good thing I was wearing these extremely comfy boots I recently bought at Nordstrom, because let me tell you, I really did some walking!

I then took a stroll down Burrard St., lined with Louis Vuitton and the likes. It's always fun to see the fashion worn by people in other cities! And finally, thank goodness for international Starbucks! It's really kept me going!!

Well, I'm off to get ready for the shows I'm walking in tonight! Stay tuned!

[ Model Call ]

Hello to all my fashionistas! I'm heading out the door right now for a model call in Seattle, for a hair show for Matrix! I know you will all be waiting anxiously to see what my hair ends up looking like! As soon as that show ends I'll be heading up to Vancouver, B.C. for fashion week! Stay tuned for upcoming photos from both events, and behind the scenes!

Do you see my large black suitcase? That would be 12 pairs of shoes for my 9 day extravaganza! The sad part is, that was me trying to pack lightly! Ahh! What's a heel lover to do??

Totally Nude

When summer is in full swing, sometimes the best attire is nude!

If any place knows how to do summer right, it's the Palm Springs of Washington! Gaze upon this desert I got to frolic in!
