White Wrap Dress

2012-07-24T22:01:00.000-07:00

White is my favorite color... if you can even call it a color. There is something so clean about the lines of this dress. Most wrap dresses are organic and cling to a woman's body. This dress keeps its own shape though. It has diamond patterns woven into the fabric bringing back a touch of the eighties... in a good way of course. ;)

Greatest Layered Shift Dress

2012-07-24T21:29:00.001-07:00

I love sheer colored fabrics, but this dress takes the cake. The beautiful sheer layers draping over one another trimmed with silver glass beads. It's elegant and slightly sexy without trying at all.

Uhm... yes please!

Crazy Nails

2012-07-17T10:34:00.002-07:00

I decided to jump on board the crazy nail train. I was going to ignore this trend, but that was before I passed a box of tie -dye nail prints in the drug store last night. They're really easy to put on. You literally peel, stick, and file. I added a extra step and put on a clear coat over to protect them... however, you don't really need to. I absolutely love the final result though.

One-Piece Print Swimsuits

2012-07-16T10:35:00.002-07:00

The one-piece is making it's way back poolside. The best part about one-piece print swimsuits is that you can literally throw a skirt and jacket over it making a bad ass swimsuit into a bad ass outfit... brush off the sand on the cheeks first though.

MSGM

MSGM has really caught my attention. I love HAwaiian prints done in a clean sillhoette and it seems that Massimo Giorgetti likes that too. I originally went to go purchase a dress I saw on the Blonde Salad, But Sadly it wasn't available. Still loving these items though.

MSGM

Founded by Italian designer Massimo Giorgetti, hot, emerging label MSGM has been applauded by Vogue Italia for its modern silhouettes and high-quality fabrication. Expect a unique twist on traditional Italian styles, across a vibrant collection of statement dresses, tailored pieces and silk shirts, full of punchy prints.

Extreme Asymmetricals

2012-06-19T11:14:00.000-07:00

What's with all the uneven hems? The truth is that clothes sporting the ASYMMETRICAL look are very slimming on a WOMAN'S body. I created this extreme ASYMMETRIC hem out of RECYCLED silver silk and frayed the edges. Keep your eyes peeled. this will be making its way to our store very soon.

Our website is finally up! Shop theThrift!

2012-06-15T12:42:00.001-07:00

Sooo excited that my website is finally up. I've worked diligently to make sure it was truly the look I was going for. I'm still tweaking it here and there but the majority of it is done.

A felt like it was important to also have a mobile friendly site, so... I made one. You can now access my blog, shop, about, and contact information from your smartphone. "The joys of killing time while you are out and about."

Rachel Zoes Fall 2011 Collection

2011-09-26T14:27:00.000-07:00

Rachel Zoe Fall 2011 Fashion Debut

Last Thursday, I attended an event at Neiman Marcus hosted by Miami Mag to show off Rachel Zoe's new collection. I wasn't there for more than 10 minutes when I was approached to enter the "Release Your Inner Zoe" stylist competition. The prize was $1000 shopping spree at Neiman's. I didn't win unfortunately, I was runner up.

The fashion show was a success though. The styling was perfection and I love the bold color choices for Fall. I noticed Zoe pulled inspiration from a few of her favored designers, which I feel she'll lose a bit of credit for. Other than that, great night!

For more photos, you can visit www.VIPevents.biz


This picture is PRICELESS! They called my name as one of the finalists. Please note most of the ladies faces. I have a feeling they didn't share the judges opinion.

The white dress is so sexy. Probably my favorite piece from the collection.

The cutie in the black vest and lace skirt was the winner of the competition. Here, she's posing with the judges.

Recycled Clothing

2011-08-18T15:04:00.000-07:00

I love when a person compliments me on an outfit that I maybe payed, in a whole, $20 for. The initial shock on their face is extremely gratifying. This particular outfit cost me under $30 because everything (excluding the shoes) came from a thrift store. Let's do math:

The Shirt was $3, High Waist Silk Pants $3.50, Purse (Vintage Ralph Lauren) $5.00, Necklace $7, Sunglasses $2.50, and the Shoes... on sale for $7 at Forever XXI.

So start buying recycled clothing! It's good for our planet!

Sangria Muffins

2011-08-13T22:43:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, my friend Kristine and I decided to take a crack at being domesticated. So, like any other housewife, we popped bottles and got to baking. The recipe started out as Banana & Pecan Cupcakes but then took a turn for the worst when we realized we would need bananas and pecans. Our glasses were full of Sangria and frozen berries. By our third one, genius occurd, and our Banana & Pecan Muffins turned into a delicious recipe for Sangria Muffins.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups of all-purpouse flour

1 1/4 tsp baking powder

1 1/4 tsp baking soda

2 ripe bananas

8 tbsp of butter

1/2 cup of superfine sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs

4 tbsp yogurt

4 tbsp maple syrup

1/4 cup frozen rasberries

1/4 cup frozen blueberries

1/4 cup frozen diced peaches

A splash of sangria

Method

Drink 3 glasses of pre mixed Sangria and frozen berries.

1. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Peel the bananas, put them n a bowl, and smash with a fork.
2.Put the butter, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl and beat together until light and fluffy. Gradually add the eggs, beating well after each addition. Stir in the mashed bananas and yogurt.

3.Grease you cupcake tin with butter and preheat your oven to 375°F/190°C.

4. Spoon out 1/4 cup of batter into each muffin tin. Place in oven for 20 minutes or until well risen and golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.

5. For your fruit topping, butter a pan and place it on high heat. Pick out a 1/4 cup of frozen rasberries, 1/4 cup of frozen blueberries, and 1/ cup of diced frozen peaches. Stir around in saucepan and gradually add 4 tablespoons of maple syrup and a splash of sangria. Stir still hot and then spoon your fruit mix onto each muffin while hot.

An vvwwalllahh!!!
