Rock.
It's been a while since I've done this.. and that's mainly because I
haven't found a product that's been this amazing, in a very,very, very
long time. I present to you, my fellow fashionistas.. the American
Apparel Bandeau Dress:
"Sure, Cee," you're thinking, "A dress with a great light fabric is cool, but what else?"
Alright, fine. How about it being available in about 15 amazing colors? Including the BROWN, shown here, NAVY (which I currently have on) and Bright GREEN (which is sitting in my closet... yes, I love this dress so much, I bought TWO!)
"Okay, Cee.. nice, lotsa colors. We love that. What else you got?"
NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU?
OKAY...
How about the effing FIFTEEN WAYS that you can wear this dress? No, I'm not talking about accessories. I mean, the dress ITSELF can be worn up to 15 ways! Check it out:

If that's not enough to make you run to your credit card and buy one.. I have one last mention about this dress..
It's $36.
LOVE.

Because I LOVE Brian, his line and the amazing show he put on.. here's the video from the Femme Athletic show atr Axis-Radius, May3 08
Franci and I are sitting on the right hand side, you'll see me pointing obnoxiously at the AMAZING detailing on the clothes.. triple stitched trousers & bras, fabric crosses in the back for support, the cutest tees ever, and def one of the best tennis dresses I've seen in a long time. Check out the full line at FemmeAthletic.com - he also has an amazing line called iFemme.. made to hold your ipod when you're working out. Genius!
Franci and I always manage to run into the coolest people when we're out networking. Good connections were made last night, and what started as a routine networking event, ended up as a night at a local bar in Mesa.
So after a week of manicures, hair, massages & facials.. Franci and I were invited to the launch of the Femme Athletic show. Hosted at Axis/Radius in Scottsdale, it was a great show, with great clothes and great cosmos!
