Boise Fashion Week

This week was Boise's very own Boise Fashion Week. Runway shows took place Thursday-Saturday night at China Blue. I attended last night's show with one of my friends. We were happy to see models of all shapes and sizes and a packed house full of fashionistas of all ages.

Trisha & I waiting for the show to start at China Blue

Here's what I wore (sorry for the goofy angled pictures, my photographer was out of town):

Necklace: DownEast Basics

Shoes: Santee Alley (former boutique in Bend, OR)

Dress: Bohme

Love the back bow detail

Saturday's Show Featured: Vault Denim, Mialisia Jewelry, Piece Unique, Villa Lifestyles, Amanda Woods, Pattie Wells and Ayres Creative. 

I apologize in advanced for the fuzzy pictures, my camera was not cooperating in the dark. Also the microphones weren't working well during the show, so it was hard to figure out which models were showing which designers (that's why not all the pictures are labeled). Maybe next year they can put a light graphic with the designers name on it behind the runway. 

I made my favorites extra large images, so they're easier to spot :-)

Amanda Woods Models (some pretty serious faces)

Leather tied belt

Men's Footwear

Love these "jail bird" striped pants

This model was hilarious. I loved her leather blouse. See a similar one at Dillard's here.

Men's Casual Wear

Game Day Apparel - Love the lights!!!

Favorite piece of the night, I am OBSESSED with this jacket

Maybe there is such thing as too much blue and orange...
