I'm a firm believer in karma-- what you put out there in the world is what you get back. Maybe it's the hippy inside of me that believes this, but I was taught this by my mother and I have seen proof of this in my own life. This was definitely proved to me this past season at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week when I was surrounded by selfish people. I couldn't believe the attitude of entitlement around me-- woman fighting with security to get let it in early even if they had a standing room ticket, people stealing gift bags from the front row seats, people pushing and shoving on the standing line, etc.. It's the most ridiculous thing ever and I never want to be this way. I feel blessed enough even to get an opportunity to go to New York Fashion Week shows.

What does this have to do with the Venexiana Fall 2012 show? Well I was invited to the show but with a standing ticket, I waited online and when we were ushered in I grabbed the first empty seat in the back row that I could find. Well the two people in front of me were much taller then me so I couldn't see anything, I turned around to the girl behind me and told her that she could take my seat but I wasn't sure if she'll be able to see. Luckily for me the PR heard me and turned to me and was like "Oh honey do you want a front row seat?" How could I turn down that invite!? He promptly ushered me to a front row seat! Amazing and lucky. I got to see beautiful gowns close up. The details on the back of the dresses were really amazing-- one shoulder straps, draped backing, long trails. Her work is more couture then ready to wear. A lot of gowns that could easily be seen walking the red carpet.
