If you’ve kept up with my blog, you’ll know that a few weeks ago I did some modeling for Loose Threads Boutique in Bethlehem. Well, the moment you have all been waiting for is finally here! Check out their newly launched Web site to see the photos shot by local photog Marty Desilets. It’s true. That’s me. Who would’ve thought? Don’t forget to browse their newest fall trends and stop by to try it all on for size. Helene and Laura will be so glad you did!

On another note, if you love fashion and a great deal just as much as I do, head over to CutDrop. The newest pop-up boutique to hit the online shopping sensation offers weekly deals from contemporary designers like Betsey Johnson, Grey Ant, and Seneca Rising for next to nothing. What’s the catch? Well, there isn’t one. Even better, a portion of your purchase’s proceeds will benefit a charity of the brand’s choice. Such a stylishly good deed, I must say!

Now that the cooler weather is settling in (and now that I’m finally beginning to accept it), my mission as of late consists of nothing more than finding the season’s best boot buys. I actually scored a pair of brown knee-high riding boots from Piperlime.com. The best part is free shipping both ways.

And finally, my obsessions are feather headbands, big rings, fun tights, and sequins. Yes, I bought a pair of sequin leggings from Forever 21 and they are, quite possibly, one of the most fun items in my closet. Speaking of Forever 21, does anyone else hate that about 95 percent of the store is hand wash only? Do you ever bother to look at the tags? Great prices, but stick that sucker in the wash just once and it’s done for.

Tell me. What are your fave shopping spots or fall obsessions?

OK, so my life (personal and in LVStyle land) has been so busy lately! I don’t even know where to begin, but I guess I’ll just give you a quick rundown.

First of all, “so long sweet summer…” Yes, that was a Dashboard Confessional reference. Anyway, I surely can’t be the only one who thinks summer just ended with the blink of an eye. I was hoping for a warmer September. No such luck as fall has certainly invaded the atmosphere. I think I even noticed the coloring of some trees along the horizon beginning to change as I was getting off at route 33 north on my daily morning commute. I’m not quite ready for this!

I’ve also been planning and collaborating on this year’s biggest fashion shoot with local photog Lori Smith. I can’t wait until you see it! We’ve pulled the greatest holiday fashion looks and accessories from some of your favorite retailers. This Monday, four models and a handful of creative people will come together to make this–what will be stunning–feature happen. It will have a very vintage-y feel to it, but that’s all I’m letting on to.

In other news, I recently put on my “model” personality and worked with the lovelies at Loose Threads, Helene and Laura, for a fantastic afternoon of fun and photos. Photog and friend, Marty Desilets (who currently has a show at Monsoon Gallery in Bethlehem), captured beautiful shots of the fashion and accessories available at Loose Threads modeled by yours truly. I wish I could give you a sneak peek, but you’ll soon have a chance to check them out once their new Web site launches. I am gushing over the photos, and not because they’re of me, but simply because I can’t even believe it’s me. Plus, Eskandalo provided hair and makeup, which was phenomenal! I can’t tell you how much I enjoy working with a team of like-minded individuals.

What else? Oh, last time I blogged about weddings. Well, I just attended Joshua and Lindsay’s yesterday afternoon at Sayre Mansion in Bethlehem. You know, the black-tie optional. What a neat place. For all of the times I have driven by, that was the first time I had been inside. Definitely an elegant wedding. Congrats, Joshua and Lindsay!

Well, I could go on and on, but then what would I blog about next week?

It’s tough being a Style girl. I mean, we attend events, plan happy hours, socialize–er, network–shop for photo shoots, and somehow create a monthly magazine. And then, there are times, when we are called upon to model.

Last night, Caley Bittner, Pam Deller, Jen Man, and I put our legs to work and tried on the latest trends at Shuze in Bethlehem for a shoe shoot. Oh, the life of a model! Ken Volpe of Transposure was behind the lens and snapped about seven series of varying looks, which will transform into a panoramic sea of gams.

From four-inch gladiators to laced leather yellow-and-black python print stilettos and, of course, kitten-heeled sling backs with rose embellishments and essential wedges, we wore them all while posing in sometimes rather-awkward positions.

To prepare, we treated ourselves to pedis. I opted for UniqueNails, next to Pistachio’s in Allentown. Some self-tanner the day before left my legs with a nice sun-kissed glow. Can I just say, though, that no matter how many times those products say they’re foolproof they are not. I guess that’s why I tend not to use them in the first place because it always leaves weird splotches and marks. Before the shoot, we slapped on the moisturizer and added shimmer with face bronzer. Yes, a little trick of the trade.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t thinking in advance, and forgot my camera, but luckily my trusty iPhone takes mediocre photos that are good enough for documenting. We’ll be chopped off at the thigh region in post-production.

You’ll have to check back at the store to see the final product in the coming months. Now here’s the question: Which pair of legs belongs to which Style girl?
