Austin Fashion Week 2014



A few snapshots with designers and local radio personalities.  I also had the pleasure of being around Daniel Esquivel (Project Runway All Stars Season 3 & Project Runway Season 11) and Mychael Knight (Project Runway Season 3) even though I  have no snapshots to prove it.  It was amazing to witness Daniel Esquivel work through the last minutes on his sewing machine, up close and personal just before showtime.  Jessica Faith Marshall from Dallas, Texas designs Faith by Jessica.  Her jumpsuit collection is amazing.  She presented this year in Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week.  Oh yeah...she is only 14 years old, designing since seven!

Boomerang's

Lance McInnes, Angela O' & Jack Fennel
I do love Boomerang's.  It is especially good on a cold or rainy day.  The food is so comforting and delicious and there is just something about that little basement building that is slightly underground.  It kind of reminds me of Ghostwriter, the old PBS show from the nineties.  Boomerang's is very well known for their Steak & Potato pie a.k.a. Stout Pie that is made with Guinness beer.  It is great.  That darn crust is so flaky that you don't regret eating it one-handed, even when driving down the street.  Every time I stop in there I find a UPS truck stopped and loading up on pie fuel.  

Lucky Me!  One day while shopping at my favorite Whole Foods and I happened to run into Jack and Lance.  The 'Pie Guys'.  Jack & Lance, the Boomerang's Founders.  Thank you for making Austin a better and more rounded place.  Literally.

The best mashed potatoes.  You should try a Pie Floater.

Me and Denise Nickerson, a.k.a Violet Beauregarde


 This was a never-forget moment meeting Denise Nickerson "Violet".  Normally when at a convention agents attempt to sell you every moment that you want to have with the celebrity.  Well, it was the same in this case too but "Violet" didn't see it that way.  I simply asked if it was okay to take a picture of her and she went above and beyond.  In front of everyone we sang the golden ticket song together and then she presented me with my very own golden ticket.  How sweet it is...

Meeting Tim Gunn

Aright! Meeting Tim Gunn was phenomenal!! Probably the best that anyone could have imagined. You know how brutally honest Tim can be (thankfully he can be honest to help you out of your rut). He will tell you if he absolutely does not like something, and vice verse. He said to me.... I love your style from head to toe (thank goodness b/c i never wear my hair curly anymore since I'm in that awkward in between stage from an extreme chic bob to long hair). He even had me do the twirl!!! Thank goodness to my senses as I woke this morning!! Thank goodness to the Texas air for being a cool 75 degrees so that I could where a great outfit. Praise to my navy plaid Sperry Topsiders, BDG Men's skinny denim, charcoal brown lace v-neck tank with super cinched waist on the derriere which was hugged by my blue floral textured jacket and topped off with a long gold and pearl necklace and a vintage Timex wristwatch from my Gramma's generation. He was happily thrilled when I let him in on my little secret that I was wearing men's skinny jeans. He praised on the runway that men should not be afraid to wear women's clothes appropriately and vice-verse. As long as it looks good! He stated that more should do it. Check back for my album to see if you spot some same pieces on both the boy/girl models.
