Empire of the Sun

This was my outfit on the 2nd day of the Kika Runway Conference....

The inspiration was from the J Crew September 2012 catalog:

Coat/Jacket - 'Maggie' in citrus by kikaPaprika (buy this from me for $76)

Blouse - Forever 21

Pants - Forever 21

Purse - Coach

Shoes - Shoedazzle

TUESDAY:
What a great day it was at the conference. I mean an entire day to discuss clothes and color and combinations you can make on different body types. Some great speakers that was highly motivating and of course hanging out with the Kika Sisters and the Shaw family which was the best part of it all.
It was melancholy to say good-bye late at night after the PJ/Wine party....

 My outfit morphed into this shape cause I was too cold on my feet to go with the heels...

This is my long time friend from our previous life/job and now having so much fun in the world of fashion together...

The Wonderful Shaw Family that runs Kika Paprika...

Never a dull moment

 Must catch-up. I thought I posted this last night but apparently forgot...

This was inspired by the Oct 2011 issue of People Style Watch:

TUESDAY:
It was another crazy busy day. I left my daughter with my mom to volunteer at my son's class. Supposed to be just the morning but there was a lot of need there so I stayed majority of the day then went grocery shopping and came home. My parents were nice enough to pick up my son so I had 2 hours to gift wrap like crazy while both kids were out of the house.
Then cooked dinner and hosted a group of 8 for a casual dinner party.
That was one full day!
