The Belle of the Ball. San Francisco, California

Happy post-Thanksgiving to all and to another Black Friday Shopping Extravaganza! The holidays have officially begun and so have the parties: Christmas, New Years, whatever holiday you love to celebrate! And what's the best about holiday parties (besides the food, of course)? ... Looking amazing, that's what! With that, I've added two more collection garments to my Etsy for any holiday or window shoppers (so you can get in the mood of what you'd like to wear for your holiday). If you're new to my blog, these are my collection garments. Therefore they've been worn for fashion shows only and they are one of a kind, designed and sewn by me. Below is a peak of the other garments that are already on my Etsy. My collection was inspired by the glamour of the 1920's and 1930's (I'm a vintage gal through and through) ... except for the LED light dress above, that was a for a special category.

Photo shoot with the awesome Lyle Amine for all of my "Moonshine" Collection garments and my "Venus" dress from junior year. We shot the collection at The Manifest in China Town, one of my favorite night time hangouts (old school hip hop lives on!) and not to mention a very cute cafe in the day time. Lyle shot about 7 garments within an hour and a half and the results were amazing. And of course, my models, Darsha Lee and Emma De Vries, were gorgeous! Thanks all for a great shoot and for Olo, for being a great fashion coordinator! Now that the shoot is done, the Gatsby Era is coming to a close. All the garments in the shoot are FOR SALE. More items not featured in this page are in my Etsy! Check it out:

Fashion On a Friday Night. China Town, Honolulu. July 5th 2013.

Make-up: Vanessa Li

The Honolulu Fashion Invitational at The Fix was my last show in Hawaii and as usual it was stressful: standing in a full bus with two heavy bags for an hour and a half was not pleasant. The last minute steaming of clothes and hand tacking hook and eyes were also a usual fashion show ritual for me. But, with the help of my team, Vanessa, Ashley, my sisters, my friends Nozomi, Breanne, and my models, the end result was nothing short of amazing. All of my ladies were fierce, of course! And I got beautiful photos from it - shout out to Lyle Amine! A few of my favorites are above. What a good way to end my fashion show run.

Also, Check out my interview on Hawaii Red! I must say that the article is perfect (Thank you Emma) ... except for my picture because I had no make-up on and I had no sleep mehh.
