IT'S A 1914 AFFAIR THING!!!! RED CARPET THEME WITH A LITTLE TWIST...

HEY FASHION FRIENDS! I HAVEN'T GOT A CHANCE TO POST IN A FEW DAYS. HOPE I DIDN'T HAVE YOU ALL WAIT TOO LONG! ANYWAY....I WANTED TO TELL YOU ABOUT MY FUN WEEKEND I HAD LAST WEEK. I WENT TO THIS WONDERFUL EVENT SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, CALLED "THE 1914 AFFAIR" IN BALTIMORE. IT WAS AN EVENT LIKE NO OTHER! FROM TASTEMAKERS SUCH AS; ARTIST, DESIGNERS, PHOTOGRAPHER AND THE LIST GOES ON! IT WAS  AN EVENT YOU HAD TO GO ALL OUT IN THE FLIEST AND MOST ELEGANT WARDROBING. THE THEME FOR THE PARTY WAS RED CARPET LOOK WITH A TWIST.
SINCE IT WAS CLOSE TO HALLOWEEN, YOU HAD ELEGANT SWAG WITH A TASTE OF SPOOK MAKEUP ARTISTRY AND OVER THE TOP ACCESSORIZING.
THIS WAS A NIGHT I HAD TO STEP OUTSIDE THE BOX AND BE CREATIVE TOO! HAD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO WEAR OUT OF MY CLOSET, THEN I KNEW WHAT DRESS I HAD TO WEAR FOR THE OCCASION.  DECIDED TO WEAR THIS WINE COLOR PLUNGING NECKLINE ALTUZARRA DRESS I PURCHASE FROM (TARGET FOR ONLY $36.)
BEING THAT WINE IS THE "TOP 8 JEWEL TONE COLOR OF THIS SEASON, IT WAS A MUST TO WEAR IT OUT. SINCE THE DRESSCODE WAS TO ADD A TWIST TO THE LOOK, THATS WHEN I KNEW THAT MY CRAFTY SIDE HAD TO COME OUT. I'M INFATUATED WITH FEATHER FOR FALL, WHAT BETTER WAY TO ADD THAT CREATION TO MY DRESS FOR A MORE FANCY AND MODERN LOOK!
USING HOT GLUE, PIECES OF LOSE FEATHERS, FELT CONSTRUCTION PAPER AND RHINESTONE CHAIN, I CREATED A WORK OF ART.

[STEPS TO MAKE THE CRAFTY FEATHER PIECE]
1. GET A WHOLE SHEET OF FELT BLACK CONSTRUCTION PAPER
2. CUT OUT A SMALL SUBSTANTIAL PIECE, DE PENDING THE WIDTH OF YOUR SHOULDER(PLEASE MEASURE FIRST BEFORE CUTTING)
3. USE HOT GLUE
4. PICK OUT THE COLORS OF YOUR FEATHERS AND KEEP A COLOR PATTERN OUT.
5. HOT GLUE FEATHERS ON ONE SIDE OF THE CUT OUT FELT(WHICH SHOULD BE THE LONG SIDE OF THE FELT SHEET)
6. ONCE THATS ALL DONE AND DRY, OVERLAP THE PAPER OVER THE STEM OF THE FEATHERS
7. HAVE YOUR RHINESTONE CHAIN, HOT CLUE THE CHAIN OVER TOP OFF OVER LAP SHEET FOR A PERFECT FIT.
8. AFTER ALL THATS DRY AND PLACED PROPERLY, HAND STITCH ON DRESS IF COMFORTABLE OR FOR A QUICK TRICK, SAFETY PIN ON SHOULDER OF THE DRESS FOR DETACHMENT.
9. REPEAT STEPS 1-8 FOR THE SECOND PIECE.



THE FINISHING PRODUCT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS, ON THE SHOULDER OF THE DRESS!

AS I TRIED ON MY DRESS JUST TO MAKE SURE THE LOOK WAS COMPLETE, THEN STYLED MY HAIR WITH A QUICK PIN UP TWIST KNOT LOOK(WHICH IS ONE OF "TOP 6 FASHIONABLE FALL 2014 HAIR TREND.) IT WENT PERFECT FOR MY OUTFIT. I WAS GOING FOR AN OLD HOLLYWOOD TREND, AND NAILED IT!!

THREW ON MY FAVORITE POINTED-TOE PEWTER PUMP FROM (STEVE MADDEN FOR $50) AN ONE OF MY FAVORITE CUSTOMIZED FEATHER CLUTCH FROM ACCESSORIZER SHAMAYA HOUSE BRAND STYLE-HOUSE www.style-houseaccessories.com
