A Little About Me

So if you have ever read my profile you might be wondering what exactly does this girl do in the Fashion Industry? Well as it turns out nothing. I'm just having a hard time letting go of my last job. Right now I'm a stay at home Mom. Raising my wonderful daughter. Before she was born however I lived in Encino California. I worked for a Modeling Agency called Rage Models & Talent. I loved my job. It was a great place to work and I truly miss it. It's a full service modeling agency with a special niche. They corner the market in LA in what's called fit modeling (not to be confused with Fitness Modeling). A fit model is a model that goes out to the designers and acts as a live mannequin. Gone are the days that designers build their clothing on dress forms. Almost all designers make their garments with a fit model ensuring that you the consumer will get the best quality pieces possible. My job was to speak with the designers and determine which model would be the best possible fit for the job. Chances are if you've purchased jeans anytime over the past 15 years a Rage Model helped in creating them. It was a fascinating job and I learned a lot from working there.

So every now and then I will be posting some pearls of wisdom that I gleaned from my time in the fashion industry. I know I may not always look like the most stylish girl on the block. Primarily because it takes money to keep up. But I hope that some of you will be able to take something away from it. Next Monday I will be posting about Designer Denim. Why buy it?

If I had an extra $190...

I would but this lovely necklace.But I don't. So alas I will dream. If any of you have the extra moolah please purchase something from Alisa Miller. Then at least I can enjoy it on you.

Not My Favorite Ending...

I loved the Project Runway finale... but I wish the winner would have been Korto. She was my favorite from the beginning. I must say though I'm just happy it wasn't Kenley. Here's the big question though. Did she or didn't she rip off other designers work?
If she didn't she must be a mind reader. What do you think? Take my poll to the right.

The Latest in Headbands

So everyone has been blogging lately about Ban.Do headbands. They are gorgeous although I'm not sure if I have the guts to actually try them out. I'm not sure I could pull them off. It would have to be worn to the right event with the right outfit. Anyway I just wanted to let you know of some other sellers who make similar styles.

The first one is my favorite however this last one might be a great starter for someone who is a little timid like me.

Thank You Puma

For creating the cutest track suits at the Olympics. Not thrilled that she beat the U.S. but I love the track suit. I'm really really liking the jumper type look. Complete with big green buttons!
