Diamonds are a Girl's Bestfriend

March 21, 2017-I had a fabulous time with my sweet hubby at El Paseo Fashion Show with Michael Costella and the stars of Project Runway in Palm Desert, CA. Some of the local sponsors for the fashion show includes El Paseo Jewelers, Motor Cars Rancho Mirage, BMW of Palm Springs, Harsh Investment Properties, Cambria, The Gardens, Fashion Scholarship Fund, Effen Vodka, Eisenhower Medical Center Auxiliary, RBC Wealth Management, Rapport International Furniture, Tequila Alderete, International School of Beauty, The Agency, Miele, Frosch, Pernod Richard, Kmir, Voss, Etihad Airways, Belgard, and Eventscape.

Its such a small world, one of my American friends has a cousin who works at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in Palm Desert.

What comes to mind for you when you first think of fashion? I've remembered watching many of my favorite TV shows on Bravo when I was in college, such as America's Next Top Model (2003), Project Runway (2004), La Fashionista Diaries (2007) and Stylista (2008). I would often sit in my room with my desktop computer watching many seasons of the reruns of these top model and fashion related TV shows, sometimes I even miss a Friday night party for these spectacular shows. It's every girl's childhood and fairy tale dream to be able to dress up like a beautiful princess, design gorgeous wedding gowns, work at a major fashion corporation, and walk down the aisle with their future prince charming.

The beauty of fashion is not only an iconic statement and in the unique way you dress yourself on a daily basis and formal events, but its also in the way you present yourself, your confidence and demeanor, and an ultimate lifestyle. To be a supermodel and talented fashion designer, you need to wear, live and breath fashion into your mind, body and soul.

March 18-25, 2017 Mark your calendars now, as you will not want to miss the glitz and glamour of the largest fashion show on the West Coast. The 12th annual Fashion Week El Paseo™ 2017, takes place in The Harsch Investment Properties Tent at The Gardens on El Paseo in Palm Desert, CA. This premier fashion event presents runway shows featuring a star-studded line-up of top designers from across the country, including exciting trunk shows, and more.
