Winner Announcement + FMA Fashion Week 2010

This week has been crazy busy for me! What with compiling all your awesome entries to my What's your Fall Frenzy? contest, yoga, fashion shows, and editorial meetings for Schema, this week has flown by. Thank you to everyone for your awesome answers! I enjoyed reading every one. Unfortunately, there can be only one winner, so without further ado, the randomly drawn winner of the $100 Shopbop gift certificate is...

Kristin of Bon Bon Rose

Congratulations Kristin! Please contact me asap to claim your prize.

So as mentioned, this week I attended the FMA Fashion Week. This yearly week-long event is hosted by FMA, which is a
local pop culture TV show (FMA = Fashion Music Art). The culture fest included musical performances by many upcoming talents, including local gal Elisse Estrada, art exhibitions, and of course hot fashions. I decided to check out the Kiss & Makeup show and I was not disappointed.

Vancouver came to represent and they did it with force! The fashions were wearable, sexy, and yet everything looked like something you could just throw on and be comfortable enough to eat Denny's in at 3am (or is that just me?). Even better was the makeup done by Becca. Fitting the theme of tribal fashion, the makeup featured flawless, luminous skin (a huge trend for fall) with cornrowed hair and fierce slashes of color across the cheekbones. I now want fried cornrow hair. Check out the photos below. Thanks to my awesome photographer Jason Wong for the great pics!
