Phoenix Fashion Week is a month away. October 1st-4th.
Pay close attention to www.phoenixfashionweek.com for changes. This site is my baby!
It's Friday, and Ness and I went to my local florist to see what was in... nice arrangements this week!
Had a great day - finally got Ness & Franci together for lunch over Olive Garden (the commerical is right! People make friends at the OG!) and then we hung out and talked, watched Enchanted (Im making everyone watch it lately, it seems) and Ness and I went to the florist to pick out these beauties.
In other news, Phoenix Fashion Week planning is fully underway. It's exciting.. we're less than 60 days out now, and it's really culminating. I'm totally on Fashion Week Diet - getting really tough on myself, but it'll be good :) I'll have 4 red carpet events, so I'll need 4 different looks. I have one down (I think!) and 3 more to go!
I'm leaving for LAS VEGAS two weeks from today, and while I'm there, I plan on stopping by the MAGIC conference. I can't wait! And the shopping. FEAR FOR THE STORES!
My littlest sister in law is signing up to be an Ambassador for PFW, and she's so excited. She wants to be an event coordinator, and this will give her some awesome on the job trainning. I'm so proud of her taking this step.. Fashion Week could be a great jumping off point for her career!
As far as what I've been up to.. I've just been getting in some jobs, slowly, and spending time with friends/family. They went neglected too long! Nick and I are having date night, as per usual for Friday nights. We're going to the Drive-In. We're living it up like it's 1967! Haha, should be fun and nice to do something different.
How is your world?
I officially started planning for our October trip to Orlando. What does that entail for me? Putting together a packet (yes, a packet) of the following information:
- Overview map of Disneyworld
- Maps & attractions of each individual park (including highlighting everything I want to see at each one - hello Canada Pavillion at Epcot!)
- A google map route from the resort to the Magic Kingdom (the furthest drive)
- Tickets & pass information
- Pricing on car rental for the week
- Airline information (pricing, available flights, etc)
- Printout of all closets convenience and grocery stores in relation to the resort
I'm a little Type A ; Nick and I had a meeting about the trip this morning, filled with red pen & highlighting.
You would swear I'm going to a foreign land, and not a theme park. Ah well, you guys know me. Disney is life! The suite is booked at the resort (we're staying off-park, which is a bummer, until I think about the fact that it's an apartment and not a tiny room), and we're booking tickets asap.
The next four months will prove to be busy ones.. amongst all of the preparation for Phoenix Fashion Week (see asterisk at the bottom of this) which is Oct 1-4 this year, I have family coming in for a week in july/august, LIANE&VEGAS at the end of August and now this trip.
It's amazing to think that the year is already half over, and that the rest of it is going to fly.
I don't have much other news to report, other than I am currently undergoing a facial peel - it's day 3, and it's really not that big a deal... and yes, I should have before/after pictures. Hopefully I'll get some kickass results. The only downside is to avoid direct sunlight, and with Phoenix summer in full swing, that's nearly impossible.. so I've been cooped up in the house all weekend with my tv, my computer and my pitcher of lemonade. I was able to go out today, so I went to the mall for lunch with Nick & saw the Hulk. Great movie. Wonderful movie. Ed Norton was amazing. You really FEEL for his character. If you're on the fence about seeing it, I would go. It's really brilliant.
In other news, an XL tank from Old Navy is too big on me.

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!
