Fallon Jewelry Trunk Show

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to preview the fall line from Fallon at a small trunk show held at Intermix. Hosted by Dana Lorenz of Fallon and Tina Craig of BagSnob this mini gathering was a perfect way to intimately view Fallon's new line and shop exclusive one night only pieces. Champagne  was served alongside cute cupcakes in mini jars! A wonderful sweat treat!

Here are some pics from the party and of my favorite pieces!!

The Pin Show 2012

A little late but better than not at all!
The Pin Show was held this February at the Fairmont hotel downtown!
And boy what a crowd that came out!!
There was a varied crew from the fashion known to the obscure and what a melting pot! Lol!
There were several designers already known from Texas Next Top Designer as well as from other local competitions. Good and bad were seen from all designers, but overall my favorite collection was from designer Yasmina Johnson! Way cool clothes and you'll definitely be seeing more from her! (She's doing a couple of jackets for DIFFA this year!)

Here's a few pics from the event! Hope you enjoy!
