Adhesif Fashion Show at Rock Revolution

Yes, I'm still talking about the awesomeness that was Rock Revolution almost a month ago! The fashion show featured clothing from Firetrap, Boys' Co. and Freshman. But the star attraction was Melissa Ferreira's clothing line: "Adhesif". Melissa created glam rock inspired outfits especially for this show. She deconstructed, reconstructed, pinned, ripped and painted each creation herself. Check out the video!

Vancouver's Street Style Blogger: Fierce Kitty

Meet Fierce Kitty. She is Vancouver's Street Style blogger. I bumped into her first at a Vancouver Fashion Industry Meet-up. What resulted was me capturing the interview between her and Kris Krug. Next thing I know I'm caught in her camera lens sharp claws outside of Rock Revolution. Check out her review of Rock Revolution HERE.
Anyway, next time you walk out your door rockin' your style, look out for the red hot hair colour she may pin you down for a snapshot. Meow!

February Contest

Sometimes, I tell you, it's easier for me to upload a clip from my flip video that to upload an image from my camera. The video shows you the L'Oreal prize pack for the February contest.

Contest details: The very next purchase made online at www.nextdoorstyle.com will win this prize pack. The zip-up make up bag includes a black liquid eyeliner, shades of grey Wear Infinite eyeshadow, a brush and last but not least Double Extend Beauty Tube mascara.

OMG I could right an infommercial right now about this mascara, but it's pretty much solved every issue I have with mascara. "Ever wish you could stop looking like you are from the downtown east side, everytime you sweat, cry or try to remove make up?" All I have to say sistas is you don't need make up remover, it comes off with a warm water facecloth. ALL off. the white base coast seems to protect your lashes, so when you actually remember to remove your make up, just a warm water cloth slides the product off your lashes , no flakes or residue. Butterfly kisses.-V

Ahem....Hint Hint

Tonight / morning I uploaded 22 new Valentine's pieces to the Next Door Style website. New LOVEly pieces made by, Izzy and Buds, Indigo Star, Kazumi, and a few from Ginger Pottin and Bueno Style. All designs are hand made by the designer with love of course! If anything catches your eye, fell free to forward the link to your significant other as a hint.

Hugs!
