Luxetips Events! Jason Wu Wows at Jeffrey Fashion Cares 2011

Hello Divas!

Life is what you make it. Make it fabulous!

Monday night I attended the annual Jeffrey Fashion Cares Fashion Show in Atlanta.  The Jeffrey Fashion Cares Fashion Show is a fundraiser benefiting the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Greater Atlanta Affiliate Chapter and the Atlanta AIDS Fund (AAF).

The host, Jeffrey Kalinsky owns the famous shoe store Jeffrey's in New York and Atlanta.  He founded Jefferey Fashion Cares 18 years ago to give back to his community. Fabulous!

The event took place at 12th & Midtown, on the 32nd floor, in the Loews Hotel building.  Talk about an AMAZING view. It is a stunning event space.

Jason Wu was the guest designer this year and his collection was fabulous.

Before the event, there was a media meet and greet in the Presidential Suite of the Loews Hotel.  There was delicious food, good company and we were given the opportunity to preview a new tequila called Casa Dragones.

The food

The crowd.

Michael Knight.  Who is super sweet and so down to earth.

Afterwards, my friend Natasha and I stepped into the elevator to attend the main event.  Little did we know our elevator mate would be Jason Wu.  He was very polite and of course dressed in an appropriate signature black suit.  That was the highlight of my evening.  What can I say, I am a fashion stan!

We arrived at the main event and of course the space is beautiful and there are lots of gorgeous Atlanta peeps.

 Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Cynthia Bailey. She is stunning.

And of course we were there for a fashion show and Mr. Wu did not disappoint.  The clothes were so elegant and classic.  That is my style...classic.

 Sparkly wide legged pants.

My favorite.  A perfect fitting pencil skirt dress!

Afterwards there was a hip after party at Opera nightclub.  The space was transformed into a Hawaiian paradise and there were flip flops, hawaiian inspired food, hula dancer and fire performers.

I met Claire from The Fashion Bomb Daily at the Fashion Show and we ended up hanging out that evening.  I have been reading the Fashion Bomb for years!  It was a treat to meet Claire in person.  She is originally from Atlanta also and was visiting her family.  She is just Fabulous!

Anastasia B, Claire, and me.

It was a great night and for a great cause. Good times.

Toodles!

Aveda Twisted Ponytails Backstage at Jason Wu

Hello Divas!

Always forgive and let go.  Harboring anger and resentment only poisons your body and soul.

As promised, I am updating you Divas on some fabulous beauty looks being created for Fall 2011 at New York Fashion Week.  First up, hairstyles from Aveda:

At the Jason Wu show, lead Aveda stylist Odile Gilbert created a sleek and elegant gilded twist using Aveda Smooth Infusion Glossing Straightener, Aveda Brilliant Spray-On Shine, and Aveda Control Force Firm Hold Hair Spray.   Odile also coated the hair with 24 karat gold leaf to echo the gold accents and feathers from the collection.  Now walking around with 24 karat gold leaf in your hair is definitely not "everyday practical" but the twisted ponytail is definitely different and intriguing.





And of course Jason Wu is a fashion star and never disappoints.  Love these clothes!
