Shopping Event Overload: Decadestwo.1, Miriam Cecilia & Dottie's Delights

This past Friday, Rodney, Tamika (my wonderful assistant) and I had a blast at The 900 Michigan Ave Shops! There were two shopping events going on simultaneously. Talk about shopping overload!

The Los Angeles based, luxury consignment shop, Decadestwo.1 came back to Chi-Town for a three day pop-up shop to shower us with fabulous Louboutins, Chanel, DVF and soooo much more! Friday was the VIP Opening Night Ceremony for all of the shopping festivities. It was a pleasure to peruse the beautiful clothing, shoes, handbags, jewelry and cosmetics while sipping on cocktails by NUVO Sparkling Liqueur and delicious cupcakes by CRUMBS Bake Shop. The icing on our cupcake was meeting one of the founders, Cameron Silver!

Right across from the Decades event at the Launch/CFI Space, Chicago's own talented designers, Miriam Cecilia Carson (Miriam Cecilia Designs) and Stephanie Kuhr (Dottie's Delights) was hosting the Manicures and Mocktails Trunk Show! Having met Miriam Cecilia a few times before, it was great to finally chat with her one-on-one and have closer look at her amazing designs. I am a true fan of her work and I can't wait to purchase and wear something from her line!

This was my first time meeting Stephanie Kuhr. She is the owner of the Vintage-style, Lingerie & Foundations line, Dottie's Delights. Highly influenced by the burlesque and pin-up look, Stephanie's pieces are truly unique and super sexy. I loved it!! An added bonus was that she was very sweet too!

My assistant, Tamika Moore, (whose birthday is this week) got a special treat by getting a mini-manicure (courtesy of Mario Tricoci) while sipping on a delicious mocktail! What more can a girl ask for? Check out some of the looks from the designers below:

Fashion Focus Chicago 2010

This past week all of the pretty, fashionable people were seen in Millennium Park for Fashion Focus Chicago. I was very excited about Fashion Focus Week as I am with anything pertaining to fashion. Let me just say that it didn't start off on the right note.

The first stop on my agenda was the Macy's Chicago Fashion Incubator & CS Magazine Show. Admission was free so I knew that I had to get there early in order to get a decent seat. We were the very first ones in line. A line that we had to stand in for an hour and a half, just to be told that due to over booking VIP seats, we wouldn't even be able to view the show from the actual tent but behind it and watch it on the screen.

As you can imagine, this did not make me too happy. As a lover of all things fashion, I was NOT going to watch the show on a screen, so I left. Ticked off, my friend and I decided to go and have a martini where we met some fab, new friends along the way. The night turned out to be ok given the bad situation.

The next event scheduled was the Smartwater and Chicago Magazine present Mario, Make Me a Model and Wave of Fashion event. Being that this event was also free, I didn't want a repeat of the day before so we decided to save ourselves from the possible frustration and chose not to go.

The highlight of the week was the Friday, October 22nd event, StyleChicago presents the Art of Fashion. Now this event was worth every penny of the $96 VIP ticket! It started off with a cocktail reception where I got to meet tons of FABULOUS people, including some designers from the show. Oh and did I mention the huge goodie bag? The highlight of my night was meeting former model, actress, fashion editor Candace Jordan!! She was so sweet and down to earth. My BFF, Rodney always talks about her so it was a pleasure to finally meet her. Be sure to check out her blog: Candid Candace!

I also got a chance to talk to fashion designers, Borris Powell (finally), Paul Sisti and Richard (James) Morse of the Kirk James Collection. The other featured designers that were in attendance were: Lara Miller, Elda de la Rosa and Lauren Lein, along with emerging designers: Hector-Javier MonArrez, Lydia Wawrzyniak and Fraley Le. The show was a huge success and I'm very happy that my week turned out to be a good one!
