Event Recap: M Shop Fashion Show, Fall Collection

Hi! The Shoenista has been M.I.A for a few days, but I'm back. I actually went to see my boy Kanye West at MSG on Wednesday night! The show was AWESOME!!!!! He totally ripped it...N.E.R.D. and Lupe Fiasco also tore it up.

Moving right along to Wednesday...the M Shop Fashion Show...held at The Park Restaurant's Penthouse was an amazing event! Caprinhias flowing, my mouth moving a million miles an hour, mingling, giggling with my girls and enjoying the cool NYC summer breeze...Glorious!

So, the show finally begins, but unfortunately The Shoenista chooses the wrong end of the runway to perch and my trusty camera proves to be, not so trusty! Sans the lack of fabulous pictures. I was able to score a few shots of the Brazilian inspired designs from M Shops Fall 08 Collection! I believe the crowd was quite impressed. The colors POPPED...

the pants were long and lean...

skirts "mean"...


and the models gave their best Naomi Campbell! Of course, my first question was, "Damn, does that come in my big titty size?????" Ha!

The Shoenista suggests that you take a serious look at the goodies on their website.

Here are a few pics of the crowd...enjoy!!!

Event Recap: National Underwear Day Fashion Show

So, I was already on Cloud 9 yesterday successfully launching my vintage clothing site, Immortally Chic. Check it out! ***Thanks to Kitty Hawk for the awesome write up!*** To top that off, my bottom chick and career advisor, Sideya and I were off to conquer the night!

A great time was had last night at the FreshPair.com's 6th Annual National Underwear Day Fashion Show. Two Words...EYE CANDY! The Fashion Show featured brands like, Deisel, Sean John, Le Mystere and a few others. Unfortunately, since I'm all of 2ft tall, I was unable to view the hot bodies on the runway! Not to worry, there were scores of the most beautiful male models running around in undies! They looked like they were having the best time of their lives. I would too if there were a sea of well dressed "Ken's" oogling me! I swear in my next life I'm coming back as the fiercest of fierce gay man! I suspect that's what I was in my former life...how I'm doing...but this time I was forced into being a broke raging bitch! Damn that thing called Karma!!!!!!!!!!

Nevertheless, I had a chance to mingle, swig on some cocktails and just take in the scenery! I ran into some famous and gorgeous faces, Russell Simmons (famous), Nole Marin, ANTM's Latin queen Jaslene, Project Runway's Suede (hope he won't read my recap post!), and the most adorable design duo, Shawn & Shane (gorgeous)!

I reviewed their event and product recently. Click here if you missed it! I actually had a chance to chat with the duo and found out that they read the post! I was most flattered! And if you honeys are reading today, these should totally be mine in size 8!

Sarah $220


During my flittering about and cocktail guzzling, I was able to score a few pics of some cute footwear...I know thats what you've been waiting for!

I scored a shot of this photog's pretty zapatos! She even took off her shoe so that I could capture the inside! Sweet...I love that type of enthusiasm! She picked up these gems in Paris.

Colisee de Sacha



Next are a pair of sling-back, patent leather wedges. Typically, I'm not a huge fan of wedges, but I thought these totally rocked and had to get a pic!

Yves Saint Laurent


I did have 2 other pair to share, but these chicks gave me much attitude and The Shoenista doesn't much care for that, so the I give them the middle toe!

On that note, I'm out! Enjoy the photos!

What was Old is New Again...

What comes around, goes around...correct? That is especially true when associated with fashion. Sure there about 100+ ways to design, re-design, style and re-style a shirt, pant, skirt and shoes but in the end it all points to the original version...the vintage original!

It is our duty as "Fashionistas" and "Shoenistas" to recognize the stylistic ingenuity of the many talented designers that have blessed us with trends that may be re-vamped, but live on forever! I guess certain designers had the exact same thoughts for this upcoming Fall season. Channeling vintage divas from yester-year has inspired them to re-create the most alluring shoes. Piperlime has chosen to make a point of this. Check out their, "First Look at Fall" to view all the hot trends chock-full of Booties, Oxfords, MaryJanes and the "it" color of the Fall/Winter season, Purple. Not to mention the great prices! Although I'd love to rock my sandals all year round, I occasionally yearn to slip into some wicked boots!
