Re/Dress NYC Indie+ and Closing Weekend

I can't believe it's been over a month since I arrived in NYC for the Re/Dress Indie+ event. To be a part of such an amazing event as a designer is something I couldn't have fathomed a year ago. Not only was I asked to come and vend, but I also put on my first fashion show as Domino Dollhouse. The weekend was bittersweet, as while it was super exciting and thrilling for me and my shop, Re/Dress was closing down. It was the catalyst, however, to meeting so many amazing, inspiring people. I want to give special thanks to Deb and her amazing staff for being so kind and welcoming, especially in the face of their unfortunate situation. I wanted to take each and every one of them home with me in my suitcases!!!



I've got so many pictures, so bear with me! People in the pictures: I'm going to try and put links for all of these lovely people and items, but if I can't find one or if you'd like to use a different one, just let me know! As with the last post, click an image to see it larger on my Flickr.

You can catch the runway show on Domino Dollhouse's youtube:



All in all, it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life and DEFINTELY so far in my Domino Dollhouse career. It wouldn't have been possible with the inspiring, fierce warrior DEB!



I'm so excited to have her on the west coast and can't wait to do some fatty collabs out her. Welcome to CA, Deb!

This week the internet did not disappoint! So many fabulous things are being created, presented, and experienced this week and here is what I deem to be the best of the best.


- Chubstr
Chubstr is here! What is it? In their own words:
Chubstr is a style destination for men of many sizes. Whether you call yourself chubby, plus size, fat, plump, or nothing at all, it’s not about what you wear, it’s about how it makes you feel. Find clothing that helps you create and display your own personal style. I, for one, love this site and can't wait to see all the Hubba Hubbas work it out!!


- Tribute to McQueen
These are a few of my faaaaaaaaavorite things! You cannot go wrong with Ms Guiness and McQueen. Yesterday was also the late Mr McQueen's birthday.

- Help Japan in Any Way You Can
I think the rhyme helps. Sohui of Filth in the Beauty has a wonderful list of ways to help Japan during this horrible tragedy.


- City Chic Fashion Show at LMFF
(via Musings of a Fatshionista)
Check out these photographs of City Chic's fashion show from LMFF, including the designs from Damn You Alexis. Most of the garments are trendy, but not earth shattering, but it's worth a look! My favorites are in the images above.


- Jeremy Scott for Swatch (via 2BD)
I'll take one of each, please!


- Milly Darling's Snow White Post
Milly shows you how to bring Snow White into your closet and make up kit without looking like you are wearing a costume with her Style Crush post. PRECIOUS!
