LA Fashion Council - Open Runway Part 2

The cameras were rolling a couple of weeks ago at Open Runway Part 2 an event held by the Los Angeles Fashion Council. The producers of Fashion Police (and crew) were there to document five emerging designers as they competed for a spot in LAFC's October runway shows "The Collections" which will now be  held at The Grove in Los Angeles.  Here are some highlights from the night. (Note: I forgot my memory card for my camera, so I had to use my phone for pictures.)

Once again, it was great to be out there surrounding myself in fashion.  I have more updates to come from my world later this week, so I hope your return Lovelies!

Hello Lovelies!

My wonderful, sweet readers.  Am I laying it on thick enough?  Ha! So here's the deal....I entered a sponsored contest with  Very.com (British online store) and I'd love your vote. Cast your vote and get yourself an invite to the online VIP event where you will get 20% off their site!  Not so bad right?  Very.com is coming to the states and with that comes a whole lot of style.  Plus, you've got to check out the photo I entered. Click here to vote for me! Thank you! Thank you!

I Contest !

So this is it darlins! What I've been mentioning all week, the Vitamin Water Contest.  Wow, it was something else to make this happen.  First, I had to get the funds from the company (because they paid for this gown to be made), which was only last Saturday.  Then, I had to rush my butt to my local fabric store, which unfortunately for something like this was a Joann Store. Then without a design idea in my head, I bought fabrics, trims and all the details.  I just kept in mind the color, yellow and the name Squeeze.

When I got home it was all madness, then two days later....I was done!  Check it out...

Once again darlins, I can't show you the whole gown just yet. It's part of the rules to the contest but you can bet, that I will be tweeting the dress Saturday night, along with the number to text to vote for me!

If you vote for me, I love you forever! (lol) Really I worked so hard on this dress in such little time, I felt like I was on Project Runway. So if your not on my twitter, here's the link http://twitter.com/melissavelia and if I got your number, you better believe your getting a text from me about 10:20pm Saturday night.  If your coming out to the event, thank you and I look forward to seeing you!

Wish me luck loves and I'll see you on the other side of the rainbow!
