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!

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!

That Little Black Dress in Montclair

I love any opportunity to visit one my favorite boutiques, That Little Black Dress, in Montclair, NJ! I had the opportunity to walk in a runway show for them in September, and became friends with the store’s wonderful owner, Jenna Davis. (Hi, Jenna!)

Montclair had a Ladies Night Out event recently, so I wanted to stop by for some fashion, friends and wine at this special shop. What fun hanging out with Jenna and her sales associates and check out some of her latest cool finds.

If you’re in Montclair, it’s worth a trip to visit TLBD at 179 Glenridge Avenue, Montclair, NJ 07042. Check out her website (www.shopthatlbd.com) or call 973-233-0523 for store hours. Make sure you let Jenna know that Myra from Febeary Fashionista says hello!

Jenna had some “Little Black Dress” wine ready!

How cool is that colorful vest?

My Runway Day – Walking For Montclair Fashion Night Out!

All my life I have dreamed of being a model. It’s part of the reason that I love fashion so much and have gotten into blogging and being involved with fashion events. I was so thrilled and honored when Fifth + Park Style & Image Consulting invited me to be a runway model at the 2015 Montclair Fashion Night Out. It was a crazy and memorable experience that I will never forget. I hope to do it again!

The day started out at 8:30am at Bangz Salon in Montclair (23 S Fullerton Ave.), which is a really beautiful salon and spa housed in an old church. Stop by just to look around! Here I am getting my hair done while being shot by the videographer.

My stylist, Mariah Easton, did a great job. Love her hair! Follow her on Instagram @mariah_easton.

Then it was on to make up at Bobbi Brown Studio (10 Lackawanna Plaza, Montclair). There is a large space behind the store where the fashion show took place, with an area where all of the models got made up. The MUAs were all wonderful and their worked shined on the runway.

My first walk! A casual look from That Little Black Dress boutique in Montclair. Do you love it?

My second walk was evening wear. You can also get this look from That Little Black Dress boutique. I loved this outfit so much I bought it right after the show!

That Little Black Dress Fittings for Montclair Fashion Night Out

When I did my first runwalk walk for Montclair Fashion Night Out, I was so thrilled to be walking for this amazing cool boutique in Montclair called That Little Black Dress (179 Glenridge Avenue, Montclair, NJ). Here are some of the photos from my fitting, which ended up being two outfits: a casual outfit (love the hat and poncho… and those jeans are fantastic!) and an evening wear outfit (how cool is that skirt?)

Boutique owner Jenna Davis was wonderful in sharing her outfits with me, and I love how she curates such a wonderful variety of looks and styles that fit me so well. Her store is definitely worth a visit to Montclair and I’m proud to have walked for her and to be a new regular customer!

Montclair Fashion Night Out: Sofistafunk Runway Show

One of my favorite parts of the Montclair Fashion Night Out event on Saturday, September 26, was the amazing runway show presented by Sofistafunk and that brand’s wonderful designer Arlinda McIntosh.

First, a quick aside: Arlinda was also the runway coach for the evening and gave the models a lot of wonderful and helpful instructions before our walk. So, we could say that I had my first runway training from Arlinda. And, she said that I did great! Thank you, Arlinda!

Back to the show. Sofistafunk is “The Original Skirt Co.” and her skirt designs are really amazing, unique and look fabulous. As you’ll see from the photos below, they stand out and definitely need to be seen in person. Some of her designs are being sold at Robert Greco’s Atelier boutique in Montclair, NJ, or contact them at info@sofistafunk.com with questions. They do showings by appointment only. Call 917-566-5900 Monday-Friday 10am-6pm to set one up (and let them know that I sent you!)

Lots more Sofistafunk fun – along with shopping online – can be found on their website at hello.sofistafunk.com. You can also connect with them on Facebook here.
