my presence is a gift

I'm super happy that the holidays are over. I do love the holiday season but it can wear you down. All the shopping, all the very crowded stores and Christmas music. It can all be very overwhelming.

I didn't buy too many gifts this year because I was kinda broke after spending a million dollars on my plane ticket home. My family didn't care though..my presence was gift enough ;-)

Outfit

Dress: Vintage Bob Mackie via Ebay

Boots: Jessica Simpson get a similar pair here

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff see it worn differently here

Sunnies: D&G

I thought this dress would be fitting for the season and the title of the post lol. I love the details on the vintage Bob Mackie dress. It's also very very warm! This is one of those dresses you can really only wear during the holiday season. I actually got to attend a great Bob Mackie Event last summer with the NYC Fashion Bloggers Meetup Group. I paired this dress with my Rebecaa Minkoff bag that I won during this post.

Its hard to believe the photos were taken just last week when the sun was shining and it wasn't 14 degrees outside...O_o
One more day to enter my GIVEAWAY for an awesome SWAGBAG HERE!!!!

The Art of Bob Mackie

This week I had the pleasure of attending The Art of Bob Mackie Event.
I've been in love with Bob Mackie for years and have a dress of his that is my favorite.

Bob Mackie is a legendary fashion and costume designer who just launched the first series of his fashion and costume illustrations. 

The illustrations are all so unique and inspiring.

 This was my outfit for the event. I think it was very fitting. I attended with a few members from the
NYC Fashion Bloggers Meetup Group. We had a great time learning more about Bob Mackie and getting to see all his illustrations up close and personal.

Outfit
Dress: Forever 21
Hat: Forever 21
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell Fords

 This whole event was amazing it even better we got to sign up to receive our very own illustration.

Check out Bob Mackie Facebook Fanpage to see more of the illustrations and the

Bob Mackie Website.

The first series of reproductions consist of 46 illustrations, which are available in two sizes 

14 x 17 ($69 and 21 x25 $179) and are sold  matted and framed.

The event was sponsored by Pop Chips which were delicious and Izze Sparkling Juice.

Check out the sites and let me know which illustration is your favorite! I choose Belle of the Ball #2..can you guess why???
