Prada For Almost Nada

I was at the mall yesterday when something
so pleasing yet disturbing caught my eye.
It's no secret that floral is the IT print and
trend of the season. The window display at Express
is what made me stop and stare.



Obviously reminded me of the 2008 Prada Resort Collection .

All of the Prada Collections this Spring have been making
me crazy. So it was pretty awesome to find something so
exactly similar!



I dont tend to think of Express as being so fashion forward and I looked
at other stuff on thie site... pretty cheesy club gear and work basics. I hope
they don't do well so I can get one on sale ;)


Silk Strapless Dress in Midnight Roses
$128.00 Express.com

This is the one I want, if any... Loving
the silhouette and retro rose print.
Birthday Dress or Half my Ticket to L.A.? Hmmm...

School Gym Fashion

I havent posted pictures of the fashion show because I wasn't too
excited about the results. The first feeling I got when it was over can
only be described as relief. There are just so many pictures so I am going
to make separate post. These are some of the preparation before the show...


My Bags and Anya's Tool Box


Paul Mitchell Design Team did the Hair and Makeup for my girls.
There was some drama with the "Promotions Class" who thought I stole
them from the school. Actually, Whitney is a friend and hooked it up
when the school originally flaked.


Paul Mitchell Design Team from the school at Town & Country


Momo the biggo Bug-O

I wanted the hair to be curly and teased and HUGE.
Paul Mitchell Design team did such a great job on our models!


Jen Pena

I wanted the make up to be a red wine lip and
touch of plum to enhance their eye color.






Judy is from Uganda and so perfect. We
stalked her down at the Galleria.


Phoenix was one of Anyas model... Finger waves were
popular in the '20s but they did a great job making it modern.


Holly G


Phoenix is in highschool but she makes
her uniform look so cute.


Rehearsal

Special Thanks to Mo Maun, Jen, Holly, Whitney, and Todd!

Finally, I'm so glad to be out of school since I will be able to
concentrate on styling, blogging and leisure reading.
Will post more pictures tomorrow!

GAME OVER

Destination Canada

I want to go to this. Anyone else going?

One Step Dressing

Tibi Jumpsuit $388 Net-A-Porter.com

The ONLY jumpsuit I need in my life.
There are sooooo many ways I could wear it!
For example, you can pull the legs up into shorts
or add a different belt. Off the shoulder, on the shoulder
and so many layering options! Great investment, basically.

Tomorrow morning is my last class ever... except for maybe
two summer school classes! I will try and upload pictures from
the fashion show this weekend. My BFFRZ Linda will be in town
for the weekend. LOADS of pictures to come.

Bug Off!

Beetlemania A-Line Tee $28.00 Urban Outiftters

Ok, I do like bugs. However, I would contradict

the creepiness of this shirt with a dope high waisted

skirt, patterned heels and of course a strand of pearls,

diamonds, or onyx. And I'm almost sure this shirt will

age to perfection.

Always Sneaking Up On Me

I can not stress how fun these parties are. Cheap drinks,
sexy bartenders, dope art, and great music.
Remember always dress up because it is sexier that way.
Also, VOX TROT!!! You can bet Lety and I will be singing our little hearts out...





ALSO

I am planning on visiting L.A. in June/July to support my brother
and some friends on America's Best Dance Crew.
I dont have too many details but I do need a place to stay, prolly...
or some companions to join me?
Hit me up if you are down!

Oh Men

I realized I post more about shoes than anything else. However, it has
been a while since any Mens post. So here are some of my favorite mens
shoes at the moment.



Clae Romare Hi $137.00 RevolveClothing.com
There is another Dark Brown and
Olive combination I like better for fall.



Gram Sneaker $123.00 Revolveclothing.com
So casual and cool.

Umbro by Kim Jones $167.00 RevolveClothing.com
I really like how plain these are but
specifically the beige suede accents.

All of the above will enhance an outfit as opposed to being THE
outfit. They are simple but can still speak for themselves. If
you're the non flashy type but still know whats good... Then
these are for you.

5 Days

Lovette's Buttons!


This flower print and color combination had me hypnotized


Cindy


Kevin Birthday Cupcakes in Pattern Grading


Ashleigh. Sick colors and patterns

Make It Work...

And that's what it all comes down to.
There is one week before our collections is
due and presented to be judged by family, faculty
and peers.


Today, one of my teachers told me he was going to boo
me and that was pretty inspiring. As soon as he walked out
of the room I began to bawl... mainly, because I HAVE SO MUCH to do
in one week.

Galleria Scouting

A few days ago we went model scouting at the Galleria.
Here are a few pictures of awesomeness.


Jen at Barneys
Dress by Marc Jacobs



These boots are pretty perfect. They are by Fiorentini + Baker.


Russian girl with cute hair cut.


I loved how put together this girl was. The eyelet
shirt is key to this lovely spring get up.


Everyone make Ashleigh get this hat. So good.

These next two weeks are pretty important for me so I am extremely
sorry for not updating. All my focus and attention is required elsewhere.

Also, still looking for a few models for the show. I am looking for high
fashion girls. 5'8 +
Email me with a head and body shot at ev@evsaid.com
Maybe you are interested or maybe you know someone who would be?

The fashion show is Friday, May 2 at 8 pm at 1300 Holman HCC Central gym.
Excited!
