Night Out

 I recently joined the Milwaukee Bloggers Group and was quickly invited to a local fashion show styled by one of the girls, Alexis Rose. (Check out her blog http://alexisrosestyle.com/ !)  
This was my first ever fashion show and really so. much. fun.
The designer, Timothy Westbrook, is fairly genius.  This guy uses on a loom to form his designs into being.  He even weaves cassette tape in with the thread, giving the material a nice little sheen. Genius.
 
The event was held at The Pfister Hotel in downtown Milwaukee.  I had never been there before, but it is absolutely beautiful.  Totally forgot I was in Milwaukee, very Victorian beauty.  The models and the designs seemed to fit right in with the lux surroundings.

  Some stylish atattendees I met including Dixie-Kuppe (whole lotta red...)
 Timothy's loom with cassette tape intertwined
 (Sweater Anthopologie, Skirt Forever21, Belt J.Crew, Necklace Forever21, Tights J.Crew, Boots Thrifted, Clutch Vintage)

It was such a fun night filled with fun people.  I invited the hubs, who invited some friends to join.  I was so glad because Dawn-Marie really pushed me to get out and snap pictures and meet new people.  Such a great wing woman.  We managed to meet a drag queen, Dixie Kuppe, which totally brought me back to Seattle.  Totally made the night even more great.
I also realized that one of these days I really, really, really need to invest in a legit camera.  True story.
