Last Shopping Day for 2015 at That Little Black Dress

It’s the last shopping day of 2015! Before looking forward to all of the new adventures (and outfits!) that 2016 will have for us, I made one final 2015 stop at one my favorite boutiques, That Little Black Dress (179 Glenridge Avenue) in Montclair, NJ.

I love this vegan leather jacket with these silver studs. She still had one left, so grab it now if you’re interested. Call 973-233-0523 or email Jenna at jenna@shopthatlbd.com.

Getting glamorous in these bling gloves. There are a bunch of great colors available.

Come and shop this fabulous boutique, owned by the wonderful Jenna Davis. Please tell her that that you saw her on this blog! She has such great taste and it’s always fun to see what new things she has on the racks.

I love my blouse that I bought to welcome the New Year.  Lots of color and bling. I can’t wait for a great fashion event to wear this one to!

Thank you to everyone who has read my blog this year and made all of these events so much fun.  I’ve made so many great new friends this year and hope to meet many more of you in the year ahead. See on on the runways!

My Copy of Fashion In The Fast Lane Magazine

Excited to have gotten a copy of the Fall/Winter 2015 issue of Fashion In The Fast Lane Magazine (www.fashioninthefastlane.com) as one of my Christmas gifts! Best wishes to Yvonne Forbes and Delvon Johnson on the new magazine and I am looking forward to see what you’re going to do in 2016!

Aprillegrace Love & Couture at ACFW

One of the highlights for me at Atlantic City Fashion Week this past October was the Aprillegrace Love & Couture collection from LA fashion designer Aprille Grace. Her beautiful collection was both hot and glamorous and I just love the gold fabrics. I’m excited that she’ll be back at ACFW in the spring and can’t wait to see what her next collection will have to offer.

If you’re in LA, track down her collection at La Maison de Fashions (7471B Melrose Ave., Los Angeles, CA. 90046). Otherwise, follow her on Facebook here, follow her on Instagram @aprillegrace. Tickets for the next edition of ACFW (February 23-27, 2016) are available at www.atlanticcityfashionweek.net. See you in February, Aprille!

Runway Pic From Montclair Fashion Night Out

I recently received this great professional photo of my runway walk for That Little Black Dress as part of Montclair Fashion Night Out on September 26, 2015. This was one of my favorite fashion memories from 2015. Thank you to Fifth+Park Style and Image Consulting for sending the photo and to Lauren Wisnewski Photography for the great shot!

I met so many wonderful people at this event and I’m looking forward to returning in 2016!

TOUS & Harper’s Bazaar

I was thrilled to receive an invitation to the TOUS & Harper’s Bazaar celebration of the latest TOUS Collection at the TOUS Rockefeller Center Store (610 5th Avenue, New York City) on November 12. (We got to see the Rockefeller Christmas Tree starting to go up!)

Hosted by the fabulous Alana Quagliariello, ShopBAZAAR Editor, this posh event featured champagne, hors d’oeuvres and lots of wonderful TOUS jewelry, bags and accessories, not to mention a warm, friendly crowd, a lot of fun, and some of my favorite TOUS friends.

Special thank you to Neila from TOUS Garden State Plaza for hooking me up!

Love Harper’s Bazaar!

With my wonderful new friend, Letty. She’s going to teach me to bake and I’ll show her how to cook. If you visit TOUS Rockefeller Center, be sure to stop by and tell her that I said hello (and buy something!)

And I went home with a great TOUS and Harper’s swag bag. I’ll be posting more about that soon.

Interview on the Red Carpet

I had such a great time at the Lactrodectus ribbon cutting and grand opening party yesterday. So many great people were there and I hope this new family business will have a lot of success.

The highlight for me was my red carpet interview, conducted by journalist and model Niara Johnson, for Fashion In The Fast Lane TV. (How amazing is that green dress?) I hope to get video to post later, but here’s a photo from the interview.

My friend Niara was the winner of last year’s Fashion In The Fast Lane Ultimate Runway Walk-Off Competition and has a lot of great things ahead of her, both as a model and a fashion journalist. You can read her work in Fashion In The Fast Lane magazine. Follow her on Facebook at facebook.com/NIARAMODEL.

New Jersey Singer, Artist and Model Pastele Pasquelina

On Saturday, October 24, I was invited to attend a ribbon cutting grand opening of Lactrodectus, a new clothing store in East Rutherford, NJ (110 Hackensack St, East Rutherford, NJ 07073). I hope everyone in the East Rutherford area will stop by and support this new local family fashion business!

The special guest for the ribbon cutting was New Jersey singer, artist and model Pastele Pasquelina. This multi-talented artist and performer is an accomplished visual artist, along with her stunning modeling work and high-energy live performances.

Connect with Pastele on her Instagram (instagram.com/cityofpastele/) and check out her website (www.cityofpastele.com) and join me in watching her career lead to great things in the years ahead!
