welcome to the masquerade

 

Tonight is the night! MASS APPEAL has finally arrived!  I'll continue the party at SHOCK & AWE: Masquerade event! Masks on! More pictures to soon follow!

The Rocketeer

 

(H&M top, JC mary rox wedge, f21 jewelry, f21 jacket)

This outfit was semi-inspired by one of my favorite movies growing up, The Rocketeer.  I'm not sure if it's the colors, the paper bag waist on the shorts, or the general aviator vibe of this shearling jacket, which is just about the warmest, coziest piece for fall! I know shearling has been popping up everywhere this season--boots, bags, jackets.... What are some must have fall pieces for you?

In other news Jessa and I (my dj partner) are gearing up for this Friday's fashion show MASS APPEAL. It's our third year in a row providing the music and I must say I'm really pleased with our choices this time around!  I'm typically more of an indie girl at heart, with my favorite artists being the likes of Twin Shadow, Rufus Wainwright, The National, Darwi Deez, Best Coast, Bon Iver, Arcade Fire etc.....

BUT right now I must admit to truly enjoying some of the more fluffy pop sensations riding the current airwaves.  I'm thoroughly enjoying Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream," Rihanna's "Only Girl (In The World)," that G6 jam... just to name a few.  I can guarantee this runway will be filled with a mix of  indie hits as well as pop sensations :)

Runway 3.0 Recap

I'm too tired to even begin to describe the craziness of this weekend, but here are a few images from Runway 3.0 and beyond. 


Thanks to Stephen Soroka of Block Club Magazine for most of these pics.

Junior

Last night the friends & I (Brandon, Craig, & Jess) met up for some pre-drinks before heading to Soundlab for the Junior Boys concert. Surprisingly enough the show wasn't as packed as we anticipated but the boys sounded amazing. My dj alias Shock & Awe had planned to use one of their songs "Work" last year for Runway 2.0 although it was cut last minute. Needless to say the show was super fun, I ended up drowning in wine which makes for a less than fabulous workday.

I'm wearing a vintage blouse & shirt worn as a dress. Black military jacket from F21, and booties from H&M


Mass appealing is only 2 days away- let the chaos begin!
