Harriet's 6th Annual PAFW & Runway Show

    

ParkAvenueFashionWeek

 So, unfortunately I didn't make it to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in NYC this past September, but guess what? I'm lucky enough to be going to this year's 6th annual Runway Show, for Harriet's Park Avenue Fashion week. It's here in my city, Orlando, and I can't wait to see what's hitting the catwalk! I heard that last year's show was amazing and I'm sure there's a lot to offer this year with the emerging designers and all the boutiques from Winter Park and more. The set up is already making quite a statement! If you are local and want to experience Fashion Week and partake in a night full of fabulous fashions, fetes, people, along with a chance to be dolled up and glam, then check out www.ParkAvenueFashionWeek.com for tickets and events leading up to the finale, the Runway Show! Hope to see you there!

PAFW: Avant-Garde Trunk Show & Fashion Soirée

  As you may or may not know from my previous post, Harriet's Park Avenue Fashion Week has finally arrived! It has officially started on Sunday Oct. 14th and will finish off with a highly anticipated Runway Show on Saturday Oct. 20th. This event is fashion filled with days full of amazing events hosted by several shoppes and designers in Winter Park's very own gem, Park Avenue. As I wish I could have attended all, I was only able to make it to one of the week day fetes! Tuesday, featured an "Avant-Garde Trunk Show and Fashion Soirée" hosted by a very trendy boutique specializing in rarity pieces, Things and Fashion, located on the corner of Park Ave and Morse blvd.

 I found myself immediately welcomed by shoppe owner, Julius, as he led me to the terrace of a fantastic party, filled with entertainment, refreshments and of course, my fave...mini cupcakes served by handsome men. Models were styled from head to toe, dressed in amazing gowns, and adorned with the trendiest accessories. The event was sponsored by Things & Fashion, VitaminWater, PlanetTogs, iLashWorks and more. I experienced a great time from beginning to end and I can not wait for the main event on Saturday, the Runway Show! Tickets are being sold here, get them while they last at www.ParkAvenueFashionWeek.com!

JASON WU: NYFW SS13 Woos Me

  So I've mentioned in my earlier post, Inspiration: NYFW SS13 , that I would let my readers know who I think stole the week. Well, here it is, my Jason Wu! Jason Wu, I know it'd be you that would ultimately woo me at the end of Fashion Week 2012. There were so many great collections, yet you were the apple of my eye. This collection is gorgeous and simply seductive. It swept me off my feet to say the least! After browsing at pictures from this runway show...well, ah hem, after gawking, I have decided that I need to procreate with this man. I'm just kidding, but I seriously do want a chance to go to one or a few of his shows. He is truly a fashion genius!

RACHEL ZOE: Fashion Week Spring 2013

I am in total awe of Rachel Zoe's RTW Spring 2013 collection. I am also a huge fan of her style. I mean, can we just say AMAZING!

Rachel made a name for herself amongst celebrities and high profile personalities by singlehandedly bringing the vintage movement into fruition with her devotion to the style eras of the 1960’s and 1970’s. Her love and knowledge of haute couture coupled with her desire to create the unexpected red carpet moments by adding prints, color and avant-garde trends made her the go-to stylist for the Hollywood elite. With unprecedented success in red carpet dressing, Rachel’s clients became a fixture on countless best dressed lists in both fashion and mass media outlets. Read more: RACHEL ZOE

 

Fashion's Night Out: Outfit of the Night

  Fashion's Night Out turns 4 this year! It's a night where retailers, editors, designers, buyers, models, fashionistas, and bloggers come together and share their passion for fashion. Mainly an evening event, to encourage consumers to shop, even during this tough economic time. As well as, showcase what's in store for the upcoming season. 

  

  So since Fall is here, I wanted to welcome it with open arms by wearing something that was fit for the season. I decided to go with a mustard blouse from Urban Outfitters, BCBG black faux leather skirt, Giuseppe Zanotti leopard calf hair booties, and a small black Gucci cross body bag. To top off my look, I wore dark wine nails and lipstick. 

 This will be the first time I've ever put myself at the forefront of my blog. I was a little nervous about it at first since I didn't have a professional photog, but I just wanted to share my look from that night with my readers. It was an interesting, fun night and I'm glad I was able to be there this year. I'll definitely be participating in Fashion's Night Out, again for years to come. Hopefully, next time it will be in NYC. For more pictures from that night, check out my instagram account, iHeartValeriaJo .

  Oh my, my, my! That's all I have to say. Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week, looks to be amazing thus far. I'm caught up saving lives here as a nurse/blogger but secretly wishing I could attend these runway shows. I can tell so far, without a doubt, I'm in love with the Spring/Summer 2013 collections. Later on I'm going to break down, specifically the collections I am most fond of. For now, I'm just enjoying the show through posted pictures from fellow fashion bloggers and attendees. What about you?
