St. Louis Fashion Week is here

It kicked off last night at HoteLumiere in downtown St. Louis.

Fashion Week is one of those events where you feel like you’re in NYC or LA rather than the Midwest. Everyone showed up looking fabulous. There was Jerell (finalist on Project Runway) and Borbatinis. Yes, Borbatinis.

I’m a volunteer this year, and even though that means doing things like placing a million fliers on seats or Borba waters to go with it, the atmosphere was so awesome. In midst of fliering, I got to watch rehearsals. So fun!

However, the long lines to get into the party did not make guests happy. Let’s hope things are better tonight!

My latest addition …

not to my closet but to our life … is a little cockapoo puppy!

Her name is Lola. You would not believe how long it took me to pick out her collar and leash. I went to Petco, PetsMart, Target, etc. I finally settled on orange polka dots (we didn’t want it to be too girly so my hubby would not be embarassed to walk her). Turns out she came with a little pink collar, and refuses to wear the orange polka dot harness. So she has a pink collar and an orange leash. Guess she didn’t want to be too matchy-matchy.

She’s a little fashionista already!

Also, just wanted to say that we adopted her from a group that rescued her mom from a puppy mill when she was pregnant. There are so many dogs that need homes. Please use petfinder.com!
