Midnight Inspirations: Meet our October Muse of the Month!

October 26, 2012


Introducing our October ‘12 Muse of the Month, Cassandra!



1. Name: Cassandra Bankson
2. Favorite charity/cause to support and why?  
Putting an end to bullying is a cause I've always been passionate about so I'm proud to be an Upstander for the BullyBust organization. Upstanders are people who stand up to bullying and become part of the solution to end harmful harassment, teasing, and violence in our nation's schools. You can find out more about the organization here and then PLEDGE your commitment to help end bullying!

You can also find out more about my efforts to stop bullying by watching this video! Stacy and I are hosting this "Live Out Loud" contest to put an end to bullying once and for all! Here we share the first round of winners! 

3. Favorite Boy Meets Girl® Item: 
I love the Forever Young Crop top for lots of reasons! One of my favorite things about this top is the fit; it's casual and loose, but still classy. I also love the feel of the light cotton/ The American flag in the Boy Meets Girl® logo is not only symbolic but because it's representative of me so I'm always proud to wear it. 

Who is your muse or the person who inspires you most? Could be anyone!

My tips: Creating a run of show

October 5, 2012
Happy Monday lovely blog readers! I can't believe we're already in October. September just flew by! I've been sharing with you guys a lot of the Behind the Seams™ of NYFW and today I want to share some of my tips for making a rocking run of show. I spent hours and hours this year on our run of show to make sure it was perfect and made my team double triple check and help me make sure it was indeed perfect too(so thank you Djs for your special touches too!)! See below for pictures of the finished product! 


For those of you who don't know what a run of show is...

  • Page 1 - this is always my inspiration for the theme of the show
  • Page 2 - this is optional, but this year I sketched each model wearing the look on the runway! In order to achieve this I had to know what every model would be wearing so I could sketch them exactly and get their hair color and look down right. This can get tricky because a lot of the time we do fittings the day before the show so I had to trust that the outfits I styled the girls in would be exactly what they wore based on their measurements if I did not see them until the day before the show which happened with many of the models! Guess what it all worked out :)
  • Page 3/4- lists each look and article of clothing and is listed in order as you see it come down the runway. 
  • Page 5- Thank you to all the Sponsors involved
  • Page 6/7- Thank you to everyone involved in making the show a huge success
Overall tips:

1. make your run of the show UNIQUE toward your brand and image
2. Thank EVERYONE! In this instance I believe more is ok as putting together a show involves manpower and everyone works very hard to help you make it the best it can be. So thank you's to me are like precious stones :)
3. check your spelling!! And make sure you have other eyes checking your spelling too :)

July 3, 2012

Ali MacGraw is one of my favorite fashion icons, and the last time i wrote about her in my blog was in 2010. You can see that post here called 4th of July 2012 Inspiration- Fashion Icon Ali MacGraw. Two years later, I decided to bring Ali's style and inspiration back to you and me :) I have also created an Ali-inspired Collection on Lockerz so make sure to check it out :)
What I love about Ali's style is that it is timeless and effortless!
