So the dinner is one thing but the equally as exciting thing? It’s my first ever fashion show which is legit part of New York Fashion Week. Through Glam Media, I got myself a pass to the Improvd show at Lincoln Center. What’s up, Big Time? OK, I take back that this is my first ever fashion show. I was actually a model in a vintage clothes show for my hometown’s Women’s Club back in High School… it was a resume builder OK? Anyway, I am psyched about the Improvd show because I really don’t know what to expect here… but I do expect to have fun.

Lady I Love: Lucille Ball
I go through phases of “crushes” I guess you could call them. My most recent crush? Lucille Ball. Yes, I know that she is no longer with us but that doesn’t mean that I can’t still totally admire her career, her super sultry stylings and he oh so glamorous photos. Besides Amy Adams, this is the woman who has always made me want to go red. Lately, I have been reminded of her. August 6th would have been her 100th birthday and Google celebrated on their home page. Fast forward to this past Saturday, which I had to myself due to the man being at a Bachelor Party. I whipped out some of my “old” movies… one of which was Yours, Mine and Ours (1968), which I happen to love.
So as you can imagine, I have had Lucy in the brain… and these are some of my favorite shots of her. She is glamorous but a little unconventional at the same time. Old Hollywood glamour is where is at. Yet another lady I love.
Alice + Olivia Fall 2011 Ready to Wear
I have to say that out of all the current fashion designers putting forth fashion genius these days, I am feeling very strongly in favor of anything Alice + Olivia. Their Fall 2011 RTW (ready to wear in case you are out of the fashion loop) line is no exception. My daydreams of excursions in their most recent looks were extensive.
Some of my favorites are included here. They range from preppy to colorful to printed to embellished to vintagey and back again…
I think my favorite look is most definitely the color blocked red and black dress, little fur caplet I can do without (although it does have an Old Hollywood feel to it). What do you think? Is Alica+Olivia spot on for Fall or will you be look elsewhere for fashion inspiration?

Changing the Direction…
I have been thinking a lot lately about changing the direction of my blog, ever so slightly. I am in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM giving up crafting or handmade lovin’ stuff but I sort of want to add fashion and beauty stuff in here as well. I mean I LOVE to check out the latest fashion and DIY it? You know?
What could it hurt to bring a little style, shopping and girly love to an already crafty, handmade, extra curricular type blog? I don’t think it would hurt one bit. So I am going to start sprinkling my new posts in here and there. For now, you can check out what I am doing over at The Fashionable Housewife and get ready for some fun over here.
