Outfit

Once again I spent my Thursday in the city. This time I was at Macy’s in Union Square for their “Spring into Style” Event co-hosted with LookMazing. LookMazing “is a fashion and beauty social network for individuals to showcase their personal style through photo ‘looks’ that can be easily shopped and shared. By ‘admiring’ fellow members of the site, users can browse through each other’s look book, wishlist, and virtual wardrobe to discover new ways to style products and gain fashion advice from friends.”

I was very impressed with the set up and have already created an account on LookMazing.  I was glad to hear about the event from Elise of WTFAB!. She could not make it since she had a friends birthday to celebrate, but I appreciate that she told me about the event!

The LookMazing Photo Booth was set up to take photos of shoppers that styled themselves with an item from the Third Floor in order to enter a contest for a $100 Macy’s Gift Card. 

A Mini Nail Salon at the event, many of the shoppers had gorgeous nails by the end of the event.

The refreshments and the fashion bloggers of the night! I wondered who I would meet for the night…

….and to my surprise I met with Fashion Blogger KT from KTR Style  who was styling shoppers at the event. Loved her bright lace top and skirt. (Her Zara heels were to die for too!)

My favorite looks at the event! Models wore outfits styled by the Fashion Bloggers throughout the night.

Fellow fashionistas and fashion enthusiasts mingling throughout the event.

My favorite person of the night had to be Sabrina, Fashion Blogger at RougeSpark.com. She has such a fun, bubbly personality and we hit it off right away! It helps that we have similar fashion sense. As they say, great minds think alike!

I was invited by Boutiika to a trunk show they were cohosting Thursday night with the Hangr16 Boutique for the Spring 2013 collection launch of designer B:Scott from NBC’s show FashionStar.
I posted a couple of photos last night during the event on Instagram using my new iPhone camera case! It was a great conversation starter and I took a bunch of photos of the great merchandise the store offers. Don’t forget to check out my account and follow @willbakeforshoes for more photos.

I was really excited to have met the people behind Boutiika as well as the designer of the hour. He was a very down-to-earth guy and it was surreal to me to be meeting the creator behind the clothing. I initially thought I wanted to be a designer while I was studying for my undergrad, but I never got around to learning how to use a sewing machine. I am so impressed when people can design a full collection every season because it is a lot easier said than done! (I know from failed attempts after all.) It is also not every day that I meet a designer, which added to the magic of it all.

The B:Scott collection is perfect for living in San Francisco, which is one of the influences to Brandon’s 2013 Spring collection. There were plenty of basics with the intent for layering and asymmetrical details in the zippers. Most of the items had features to cover one’s mouth or ears which is meant to be practical when biking in the city. The ease of his clothing really resonates with the street style in San Francisco.

I was lucky enough to meet Brandon’s sister who also happens to be the designer of her own women’s clothing line and can be found at sarahscottdesign.com. As seen in the photo above, she designed her feminine varsity jacket and the black messenger bag she is carrying. I am in love with her jacket and might be buying it in a different color at the beginning of next month. She shared photos from her collection and I loved being able to browse through it. She is my latest designer crush now with her use of leopard print, leather, and spin on classic jackets. (I am also really tempted to buy that bag too!)

Both siblings are on a cross country tour together so check out their site to see if they are making a stop at a boutique in a city near you!
I enjoyed the event and hope you enjoyed my coverage of it. The Hangr16 boutique has been voted as a top location for Menswear in San Francisco, so I am excited to use Boutiika to discover more boutiques in the area that I would not normally know of.  I plan on making a trip to SF to shop just using the Boutiika site as my guide, so stay tuned for that post in the near future.

Thanks for reading and Happy Friday!
