Black fringe has been one of my favorite trends to wear, especially when pairing it with my vintage lace-up Manolos. I love adding a pop of red to the majority of my outfits, it is my favorite color to wear. I paired my look with vintage Patrice jewelry from my Grandmother.

Be the life of the party with fun faux fur and delicate florals. Clothes Horse Clothing was sponsored by salon Eden XO. For the lovers of floral and faux fur, Clothes Horse Clothing by Bianca Jones-Pearson brings the 70's back to the runway. The Fall 2016 runway show marked the designer's second collection to be shown at StyleWeek. All designs are handmade in Rhode Island and eco-friendly. For years Bianca has been selling online to customers from all over the world. Her hipster and unique style has caught the attention of a few big fashion brands who have copied her silhouette and style, even down to the fabric. So like DVF, Bianca designed her own prints for fabric. The prints from this collection are all the designer's original artwork. The hand painted floral designs are printed onto fabric and sewn into garments. My favorite look is the floor length wrap dress accented in flowers. Be bold and feminine with the tied, floral jumpsuit. Bianca's collections are multi seasonal and can transform from day to night. Check out Clothes Horse Clothing's latest collections online now at http://www.clotheshorseclothing.com.

Janet Howard presented by The Martini Factory. Janet Howard perfects classics!  She is consistent with StyleWeek’s sponsor Imperial Pearls when she created the pearl booste.  This glam is brought to a business wear inspired button down blouse, pencil skirt and wool coat.  To spicy up a beautiful leather bomber jacket, fur is added to the collar.  Underneath the jacket is a monochromatic knit dress creating shape from the center.  The details are in the construction and execution of these garments. The black wool double breasted jacket and skirt set is exceptionally tailored.  As if that was not enough the 1960s inspired set is paired with mini cropped gloves and mid caff sheer stockings.  In the last look two traditions are brought together to create a modern look. The knitted mahogany mink shawl is wrapped around a short sleeve, turtle neck black maxi dress.  It is no question that Howard is quality conscience when creating her designs for production. Special thanks to Janet Howard, the Creative Director of The Martini Factory for providing guests with a swag bag containing tasty M&Ms and two at home facial kits.  To view more of Janet Howard’s pieces in publications or contact about inquires go to http://www.themartinifactory.com/janethoward/.  ​
