As some of you know, I had the treat of walking in a runway show in June for Kaboodle’s five year anniversary celebration, hosted at Internet Week in NYC. This involved working closely with Kaboodle and Bloomingdale’s to create a look inspired by one of the winning style boards in a contest Kaboodle hosted the weeks leading up to the event. Lucky for me, I got to work with one of my favorite style boards (above on the left) designed by Kaboodle user Sarah08Pig (nice work, girl!).

Little black dress, sparkles, lace, pearls…yes please! To make this ultra glam party look work with my own personal style, which is usually a hybrid of two distinct types of looks (e.g. boho-preppy), I decided to go rock and roll with hair and make-up. Faux hawk, dark and dramatic eyes and a pale lip. You can find out all the details about my outfit from Kaboodle here.

This was one of the coolest things I’ve ever gotten to do as a blogger and I will be forever grateful to Kaboodle for giving me the opportunity. Special thanks to Bloomingdale’s for providing the fabulous looks, the Kaboodle style team (especially Maria) for helping us create the looks and Paul Labrecque Salon & Spa for providing hair and make-up. Also, shout-out to Lauren for giving me the rocker faux hawk!

Last but not least, thanks to KSA, Jenn, Jordan, Maeve, Julie, Lizzie, Andrea, Amy, Dina, Kat, Kristin and everyone else who cheered me on when I stepped foot on the runway. You knocked the fear right out of me.
