The Fashion Fierce Party III Recap!

So last Sunday Katie from The Mac Styles & I attended The Fashion Fierce Party III at Grooves Restaurant in downtown Houston. I was invited to cover the event for HairGurl.com. It was definitely a night of creative & fun vendors, great music, & a runway show featuring some fabulous designs. Check out the pics below!

Loving Katie's hair from the The Mac Styles. She's natural now! ;-)

Ashley was such a cutie pie & I really liked a lot of her jewelry (especially the earrings) which by the way she designs herself. Check out her website at darlndmplz.com!

The purse in the middle had my name all over it! lol So unique.

Nicole from Guilty Pleasure Cosmetics really schooled me on primer. I've been meaning to buy some primer, but just haven't gotten around to doing it. I always hear concealer can be used as a primer to cover large pores...and my pores are huge & constantly seep oil. : \ When i get up in the morning my face is shiny as hell especially my t-zone. #oilyskin

Here's Rebecca & I from OrGano Gold. Okay, please excuse the flash over my mouth. Those 'dots' show up in the weirdest places in my photos. This organic coffee was good & I am NOT a coffee drink. I tried the OrGano Gold Gourmet Latte which is 100% certified organic ganoderma lucidum red mushrooms. The ganoderma lucidum is known for providing more energy, supporting the immune system, & supporting circultion. The hubs & I have been talking about investing in a coffee maker. We need something to wake us up for Khlo Face's early morning risings. She's killing us. lol And let me remind ya'll, we are not coffee drinkers at all. Khloa is driving us to drink it though. lol

And LAMIK was one of the sponsors! I've been hearing so much about this company lately so it was great to finally check out their products & services in person. JT (on the left) shaped up my eyebrows & they looked excellent! :D

I don't know who this woman was, but I loved that dress she had on & it deserved to have its pictured taken. Flyness.

Some of my favorite designs from the runway show!

She was my favorite model! She rocked it every time she walked. She wasn't playing!

Outfit shots! :-) Katie from The Mac Styles.

And me. :-) That shirt is so old. I got it from Rue 21 when I was in college. I think I was about 20 or 21. I purchased the skirt from F21 on Labor Day weekend for $6.50. Shoes are from F21 too. I think they were around $20-25 purchased about 2 years ago.

Also, while at the runway show I sat next to this girl with such a pretty afro puff. She asked me what I used to moisturize my hair & of course one of the things I told her was "VO5 Strawberries & Cream & extra virgin olive oil or virgin or extra virgin coconut oil to seal" lol! I feel like I type this at least once a day. If you're reading this, "Hey girl!" :-)

Great event & congratulations again on your 3rd Fashion Fierce Party!

I'm Going to 'Fro Fashion Week!

Did anyone peep the newly added widget in my sidebar? ;-) Get ready. More good news to share. I've been selected to be a Lead Press Supporter for the 2012 Spring 'Fro Fashion Week at Hotel Melia in Atlanta, GA! Officially, 'Fro Fashion Week will be February 1-5th, but I'll be there February 3-5th. :D :D :D I'll have an all access past to cover all of the events. I can NOT tell you ladies how happy I am about this news! Last year, I found out about the 2010 Fall FFW when I moved to Houston literally days before the event. If you follow me on Twitter, you may remember me whining about wanting to go. Then, when the 2011 Spring 'Fro Fashion Week rolled around I was like 6 months pregnant. It was starting to look like I was never going to go. LOL. And now I'm actually going to be a Lead Press Supporter!!! I can't believe it. ESTACTIC.

Of course, I'll be updating you guys with all of the good stuff! Stay tuned. :-)

THE FASHION FIERCE PARTY: Shoezy Lover Boutiques' Fall Runway Show. It’s a Fashion Show, It’s a Party, It’s FIERCE!

HOUSTON, TEXAS (October 30th, 2011) - Shoezy Lover Boutique in association with the Law Office of Crystal D. Henderson brings you back to where it all began. On October 30th emerging designers that call Houston home will flood the runway with fashion that is fun, fresh and of course fierce. It’s the 2nd Annual Fashion Fierce Party Fall Edition at Grooves Restaurant and Lounge, 2300 Pierce Street, Houston Texas 77003 at 7pm. Houston's finest and fiercest designers get to show off their lines just in time for the new season. The Fashion Fierce Party, hosted by Jesus Walks, features a full runway show with local designers like Wolfen Wear and Designs by Darnell McGowen as well as boutiques including The Envy Boutique, Glam Boutique by She, and Buffalo Exchange. There will also be a live performance by The Vx and Houston’s songbird, Varrie V.

Makeba Collins, owner of Shoezy Lover Boutique, is the brainchild behind The Fashion Fierce Party. “This event provides a platform where up and coming fashion designers and independently owned boutiques can confidently and artistically present their designs to the public; a platform that would not be otherwise available without the Fashion Fierce Party” says Makeba. “Not only does the show provide them with a great opportunity to present their talents in a major runway production, but it allows these up and coming designers and boutiques to be a part of one of Houston’s premier fashion events.”

An exciting feature of the show is the cocktail hour sponsored by Tequila Distinguido prior to the runway performance. This is a unique opportunity to experience the Distinguido VIP Lounge where guests get to tantalize their palates with the world’s most distinguished spirit and groove to the smooth sounds of DJ Kool Kris. Guests mix-n-mingle and go pop-up shopping with local vendors. The current fashion trends from Twyla Boutique, the hottest colors in make-up from LAMIK, those must-have bags by C. Bentley Novelty Bags, addictive accessories from Accessories R Necessities, gift baskets from Dai Cor Baskets, will all be available for purchase during the cocktail hour. The pop-up shops will also feature Haute Chic Boutique, Culture Boutique, One Chic Touch, Hollywood Fashions, Guilty Pleasures Cosmetics, Unlimited Fashions and More, Organo Gold and Darl’n D’mplz Couture. The Fashion Fierce Party is not your average fashion show!

This will be the 3rd successful runway event and in the past the show has attracted more than 300 attendees with the current attendance expected to double. Doors open at 7PM and tickets go on sale September 30th. VIP reservations include complimentary Tequila Distinguido and the best seats in the house for only $325. Runway seating is available for $40 and includes a Brag Bag filled with unique gifts from the sponsors and vendors. General admission tickets are available for $20. Tickets can be purchased at Shoezy Lover Boutique by calling (713) 570-6761 or online www.TheFashionFierceParty3.eventbrite.com. The Fashion Fierce Party will benefit Change Happens, a non-profit, community-based organization primarily serving adults and at risk youth in Houston, TX.

The Fashion Fierce Party is sponsored in part by The Law Office of Crystal D. Henderson, Tequila Distinguido, Private Sessions, LLC, Twyla Boutique, Guilty Pleasures Cosmetics, Maxx Styles, Jaylon Cornell Esq, Insomniac PR, EliteOne Agency, Brian Keith Productions, Skin Liquere, The One Touch Glam Squad, Glam Mogul Yaya Williams and Southern Girl Entertainment & PR.
