Tribeza Style Week: Tribeza Fashion Show

Tribeza Style Week came to a close last Thursday night with the Tribeza Fashion Show featuring looks from By George, Feathers Boutique, Moss Designer Consignment, Y and I Boutique, Underwear, Estilo, Service Menswear, c.jane, The Garden Room, Kendra Scott Jewelry, Julian Gold, and Saks Fifth Avenue.  I thought the styling of this show was a step up from last year's as it involved more layering, detail, and texture.  It should come as no shock that my preferred looks of the night came from my personal favorites, Feathers and Moss.  Can I please have one of those colorful sequin dresses?...please?  Trends from this colorful, rich looking, and wearable runway included:

1) fur

2) sequins

3) fringe

4) knee high boots

5) vests for the guys

For some reason I couldn't stop dancing and wiggling in the photo pit, but I managed to get photos nonetheless (except for that one outfit that walked down the runway when the lights went out...)

Outfit: Patriotic Pride

I went a little crazy last night when the news broke that Osama Bin Laden had been found and killed.  I tweeted up a storm, I opened up a bottle of wine, I sang the national anthem at home by myself, and then I busted out my paints and my scissors to make a t-shirt.  What did you do?

t-shirt: made by me

jeans: Joe's Jeans at Saks Fifth Avenue

shoes: Aldo at the Domain

sunglasses: Ray Bans

Outfit: Happy Birthday Tribeza

The fabulous Tribeza magazine celebrated their 10th anniversary Friday night with an awesome and exclusive party.   The party was "cocktail attire" which is always fun because you never know what you are going to see people in Austin wear when a party is cocktail attire.  It's pretty much a free for all.  Jeans? Sure! Nice dress? Sure! Cowboy hat? Yep.  T-shirt? Yes, they were all there.  I didn't take any style photos at this event because I just wanted to relax and have fun.  I did however snap a few really quick photos of what I wore before I headed out the door:

This headband was one of my few finds at the latest Le Garage Sale that took place at the end of January.

She's Gone Country

Last weekend I went back to my hometown of Ft.Worth, Texas to go to my favorite Ft.Worth event, the Rodeo.  Growing up in Ft.Worth I very rarely ever hung out in the tourist area of Ft.Worth, the Stockyards.  But, I thought it might be fun to show y'all the Ft.Worth street style and shopping in the Stockyards.  When the Rodeo is in town, you see all sorts of cowboys hanging out at places such as the White Elephant saloon and along with that you get to see the awesome cowboy fashion (yes, cowboy fashion).

Before heading over to the Will Rogers Coliseum to see the Rodeo, my Dad and I took a little tour around the Stockyards.  One of my favorite parts of hanging out in Ft.Worth during the Rodeo is that I have an excuse to wear my cowboy hat and cowboy boots (although I wear my cowboy boots all the time regardless.)  The other awesome part is getting to shop at all the antique shops.  If you go to Ft.Worth I highly suggest stopping at the Montgomery Street Antique Mall.  My other favorite shop is K.Flories Antiques, the place where I got my elephant necklace that has become a staple in my wardrobe.

Home is Where the Fried Chicken Is

I struggle these days on whether to call Ft.Worth my home, or to call Austin my home.  Although I call myself an Austinite, like the majority of Austinites, I was not born and raised in Austin.  Ft. Worth, Texas was my original home.  

This weekend I went "home" because it's my favorite time of year in Ft.Worth right now...rodeo time.  The rodeo is really the only event I ever go back to Ft.Worth for.  My hometown doesn't have as much going for it as Austin, but it does have a couple of awesome perks:

-great antique shopping

-awesome museums

-my mom's fried chicken
