Hot Fashion Find.....

Check out this great black and white stripped sheer silk blouse. Great for a chic yet comfortable look, match it with a pair of leather leggings and black bra and you are good to go. Comfortable, smart, and sexy. To dress it high, pair it with a high waisted tappered tuxedo trouser. For some sass, a red lace bra, and at the root, red patent pumps!!!

Hot Fashion Find.....

Check out this fantastic fashion find by Tibi. The embroidery and high collar give this dress a conservative appeal at first glance but the sheer black chiffon definitely says otherwise. Other than a set of bangles or great pair of chandeliers(depending on your hair length) this dress does not need much accessorizing. You would not want to deflect from the beautiful details. At the root a simple black patent pump will do or for a high fashion look, try a spectator inspired wedge or bootie. Dress by Tibi, available at Luxe Apothetique for $368. Style carefully!!!

Hot Fashion Find.....

For a lady-like style, check out this this B-E-A-utiful silk 'lemoncello' print dress by Robert Rodriguez. For a chic uptown look, match it with a pair of bondage inspired studded platforms. To take it to lunch, a simple yet chic, pair of nude patent pumps will do. Either way you are sure to impress both the fashion set as well as the ladies at table to your right!

This season, no wardrobe is complete with out a piece of statement plaid. No longer a staple for just the punk set, plaid has trickled its way into the mainstream.

Hot Looks at Runway to Heaven.....

Runway to Heaven.....

Saturday night there was an explosion of glamour, style, and fashion upon the grounds of the new luxury high rise, the Austonian, for the second annual Runway to Heaven charity fashion show. Benefitting the Austin Children’s Shelter and the Dell Children’s Medical Center, designers such as Versace, Poleci, Alexandra King, and Linda Asaf showcased exciting collections amidst the construction site setting. Linda Asaf, founder of Runway to Heaven, was presented with a proclamation from the mayor’s office for her charitable work. The crowd noshed on food and beverages that were provided by Sullivan’s, Piranha, and Savvy Vodka and the in house DJ keep the beats flowing from the show well into the after-party. The evening was a success with a few miss-steps only visible to a trained eye. But hey, when it’s for the kids who’s counting.
