Fashion Night Out SLC - Part 2 - Runway

We have to admit that we think the most talented designer of the night was Mitch Harris of Aven Clothing, a line of edgier clothing for children. Although we've been seeing Prada and Chanel sporting children's collections, we haven't been terribly enthusiastic of designer clothing for children, since it seems a bit over the top in our eyes. But out of all of the designers of the evening Harris seems to have a pretty clear direction for his brand (and thank goodness the prices don't reflect the typical designer brands). And seriously, We would totally wear what that little blond girl up top is wearing. The other photos were the better looks from different designers featured. And there you have it! Utah hoping to have a place in the design world. What do you all think?

FNO SLC 2012 - WHAT WE WORE

<

So you've seen a little bit of the Fashion Night Out SLC event held this past weekend in the form of some street style we shot, but now you get to see what we were wearing. Melody decided to go on trend from the fall runways by wearing navy with a a peplum. We talked about how we were inspired by the Valentino navy seen here and the peplum look seen here, and now you get to see the finished look. Although this appears to be one complete dress, it has two different elements. The underneath layer is a blue vintage sheath dress, while the over zipper peplum jacket is from Forever 21's past higher end line (which seems to have disappeared ).  We finished the look with Nine West heels, H&M clutch and Forever 21 bangles.

Well, did you get them all? We figured we'd take a break from fashion week to give you the goings on of Kate Middleton (which by the way is still going). She's on an extensive tour of southeast Asia as part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. And every look of hers has been oh so nice. She has very distinctly chosen designers and designs that reflect the atmosphere she is in. For instance, it's no mistake that she chose Singapore born Prabal Gurung and Singapore designer Raoul to wear while visiting that particular country. We also think her loose reference to tropical prints has been nice. We have to admit that we are very disappointed in the paparazzi after last week's messes with photos that should have NEVER been shot in the first place. It is all too reminiscent of the last People's Princess. However, we think it very cool that the news broke while she was visiting a mosque in Kuala Lumpar. We further think it amazing that she's wearing a new brand called Beulah London that has much of its proceeds go towards sex trafficking. Way to go Kate. Being a good example even if it is just a coincidence. And what a wonderful brand too! We highly suggest you check them out HERE. It's quite refreshing that most of the dresses cover quite a bit.
    So there you have it! A week in the life of Kate.

SLC Fashion Night Out - Part 1: Street Style

We attended Salt Lake City's version of the national Fashion Night Out last night at the Gallivan Center. We have loads of pictures so we'll break it up into 2 parts, the street style and the runway style. We were generally impressed with the fashion of the night, considering SLC is far from the fashion capitol.   Above are just a few of the ladies and gents we snapped while coming into the show. There were many many more, so if you think you were there and maybe saw one of us snap a shot of you, I would keep an eye out in the coming weeks :).  After viewing so much of what's coming down the runways in NYC, we couldn't help but see things that brought back images in our heads. For instance, the girl in the red and white stripes has no idea how her top is going to be quite the rage come spring. Or the two girls in the maxi dresses could've fit in at the front row of Rodarte. We must admit though that we were quite impressed with the SLC guys. They seemed to have it more put together than even the ladies. Oh and isn't Niya up top lovely? She runs a modeling agency in the city (I mean, you can tell she has experience, right?) and she's wearing one of the designers featured in the show which we'll show you soon....

WATER COLOR - STREET STYLE NYFW SS13

We thought this was quite the interesting pairing.  You have the heavily sequined black skirt paired with a lovely flowing watercolor top, anchored with the white button down. We might have to try the silk top over button downs... haven't thought that one up yet. We'll let you know if it works for us....

WHAT WE WORE - NYFW SS13

Here's what Desirae wore while at Fashion week. She decided to keep it simple since many people almost look like they're wearing costumes. So here she is in rich, deep colors of blue and green. She broke out her trusty herring bone jacket since the cool breezes are again settling into the city.  And we've never mentioned this before, but you can tell against her green pants that her wedding ring consists of an emerald. We say it's the perfect accessory to her aquarium colored look. (p.s. from what we're seeing coming out of NY for spring, bright colors are not going ANYWHERE....)
