CFW: aftermath

Since I took some of my roommates and best friends to Colorado Fashion Week, my room was a disaster zone the day of. Skirts and dresses were flying everywhere and shoes were scattered about. Also, since I was a tad bit sick during that time, my desk was the biggest mess. The job of cleaning up of my room was well worth all the runway. Even though, my roommates offered to clean my room, I enjoyed the task. When I came home a day later, I found a note on my desk that read, "Melanie, you are a poop head for cleaning up my mess but thank you. I love you. I owe you some cleaning! Thanks for being such an awesome roommate." Cleaning is the price girls pay for looking fashionable. 

Something Borrowed

When it came to the last night of CFW I was out of black statement dresses. The great part about living on campus at my school is that there is another girl's closet just walking distance away. With that, I borrowed my best friend's orange dress and new black boots. It was the perfect fit for my last night of runway shows. 

Colorado Fashion Week

At the beginning of the month, I got the incredible opportunity to attend Colorado Fashion Week. Each night was full of Denver's top emerging designers. I was blown away by all the talent that walked down the runway. On night three, my two best friends and I got to see collections from Sam Martucci and Carlos Melendez. Martucci featured her new line Breakeless which is a collection full of edge. Melendez, a new talent on the Denver fashion scene, revealed his line of modern gowns. It was a night to remember. There is no feeling like sitting front row at a runway show as well. 

On night four of CFW, my posse of blonde friends joined me at the JW Marriott for another round of runway shows. My favorite designer of the whole week was featured this night. Her collection was breathtaking and I loved getting the opportunity to meet her. Nyndia Diligent has such a beautiful ready to wear line that's full of elegant and modern lace pieces. A big thank you goes out to my friend and fellow fashion blogger Rachel at Denver Dress up for all that she did for CFW and allowing me to come.  

Busy Bee

In the past month I've attended Colorado Fashion Week, traveled to two different states, and turned twenty. I've been very busy and have been seriously lacking in the blog department. There are several posts coming up about my travels, my birthday, and of course my life in Denver. Stay tuned! 

The first time I've gotten to relax with friends in three weeks. Praise Jesus. 

Life Lately: According to Instagram

Life lately has been very busy to say the least. I keep telling myself if I make through the month of October it will be a miracle. I started out the month at Colorado Fashion Week while balancing school and hosting events for my ministry. Currently, I'm in California for a convention and the day after I get back I will be heading to Kansas. I will end the month with my best friend from high school for my 20th birthday weekend. Again, if I make I through this month it will be a miracle.
