Different cultures
bring different feelings!
After 2 intensive
weeks of exams,
I finally get the chance to reminisce on the past few fabulous
and not to forget BUSY weeks that have passed.
I don’t know what the
deal was, but October was so packed up with events that the month passed me by
too fast…
I think I might have even lost a few weave tracks in the process!
From hosting my veryfirst event at the Eau Lounge in Rotterdam, to heading out to
the Hampshire
Hotel in support of the breast cancer awareness event
“Pink Friday”, I can
truly say that I have had a great time.
Of course every event
has it’s own key features, which makes it into a big success.
None of them are
the same, that’s what makes them so enjoyable to attend.
Another event that I
had the opportunity to attend was this year’s Salonè Della Moda.
The 3rd and
fierce edition of this event took place at the beautiful setting of
the NHow
hotel in Rotterdam.
Salonè Della Moda is
an initiative by Stravagante PR, which offers it’s guests
“A fashion experience
surpassing every level” with (inter)national designers.
I attended the first
day of this two-day event with friend and client stylist
Ashlee Janelle Danso of Styled By YOU! Unfortunately, we had missed the first show
due to traffic, but that didn’t stop us from enjoying our night out.
Scooped up at the
entrance to be whisked away to the front row,
where other bloggers and social
influential individuals where sitting,
was the perfect spot to get up all in
the fashion craze that was going to happen.
We made it to the
second show, which was the one that I had set all my hopes up for
(not that I
wasn’t interested in the others, but this one had triggered my curiosity ever
since
I had received the official press release!)
CHILD! CHLOE SUNG IS
ALL THAT AND A FABULOUS
PAIR OF BRAND NEW LOUBOUTINS!
The ways this designer
mixed and matched the magical Oriental with a little touch
of Western “umph”
had a girl WANTING to pack her bags and enjoy an nice vacation.
(One day
Hong Kong… One day!)
Rotterdam felt so far
away for just a moment....
My favorite
pieces from the collection!

Thank the fashion gods
for a little break that we had in between shows. It was time to walk around,
enjoy the breathtaking view of Rotterdam at night and to mingle. And as usual I
ran into a lot of pretty and sassy individuals & friends, and could not let
these moment pass us by….

After I had recomposed
myself from all that was going on
and found my seat again, it was time for the
last show of the evening.
The Tailors runway
show was a big success.
I mean, who doesn’t love men in suites.
I'M JUST
SAYING!
My panties were all in
a bunch, when I found out that 1 of the models
was actually Fab Morvan from
former R&B sensation “Milli Vanilli”
(I've just turned 25, but I do know my music
history!)
From the fine fabric,
to the tailor made suites and luxurious accessories
(and not to forget the
handsome men),
THIS show was the perfect finishing touch of an amazing 1st
day!
Congratulations are in
order for Trends & runway director Jerry Luxenburg and his
FABULOUS team
over at Stravagante PR for this event fashionable EXTRAVAGANZA!
Ya’ll did THAT!

but I can't. Part
