ruby rouge event #3

ruby rouge sure has some gorgeous pieces. and, that's why i keep going back for more. i know that every week i am going to walk in the door and see great, new trendy pieces! oh, and everything in the store is under $100, mostly under $50, so i know i will able to walk out with at least one thing (probably more). bree always has the best stuff and i always know i will find something special when i walk in the door.

lauren from classy and fab girl stopped by with her mother-in-law to do a little pre-birthday shopping. it was a blast to shop with you and see how gorgeous these pieces look on you. lauren even wrote about her fun shopping experience over on her blog.

laura looked gorgeous in this super cool sheath cover up dress. 

and, brooke looks sassy in this leopard number (which i might have to borrow). it's so comfortable and flattering! who doesn't love a fit and flare dress?

i found some pretty spectacular pieces while i was helping everyone shop at ruby rouge. i picked up a chevron maxi, mint fit and flare dress, striped tunic, peach earrings, black maxi dress, blue blazer, aztec scarf and tassel necklace. what can i say, i love ruby rouge! 

i can't wait to wear all my new pieces! i will be sure to wear the mint dress to go blog social this weekend! it's a blogger conference in kc, if you haven't signed up, and want to i would do it quick. spots are filling up fast and the conference is going to be blast!

i always love getting have special shopping events at ruby rouge and can't wait to do another one! if you are interested in working with me on an event, just shoot me an email. gussiedup {dot} cf {dot} com and i'd love to do it!

have a great week!

kcfw: saturday's look

okay, so kcfw kicked off this week and it was absolutely amazing! i mean, it was a full four days of events and shows. i couldn't get enough. the designers were great to meet and finally see all their creations (stay tuned for everything, my favorite designs, designers, and where you can grab their pieces). i was able to meet so many kc bloggers, and i can not wait to hang out again. 

so let's get a little serious, this outfit. i'm pretty partial to it. i wish i could tell you i had this planned out weeks before, but then i would totally be lying to you, and i don't want to do that. i'm gonna keep it real, i totally waited until the morning of, and pulled it together. i knew this vintage midi skirt needed to have a moment i mean i needed to make sure that when i sat down, that i wasn't going to flash a little thigh or anything (that's not cute), right? plus i just love the color. and i was totally ready to rock the new sjp pumps from the dallas trip (yes i wore them, i had too, they're just to pretty). i then paired this structured blazer and fitted top to complete the look. and i was ready for the shows. 

blazer: bcbg (old) but similar here | top: bcbg  (old) but similar here| skirt: vintage but similar here | pumps: sjp | necklace: nachelle | rings: lulu frost

and i almost forgot, the lulu frost rings are sentimental pieces to me. the six and the four are the most meaning full numbers to me, its our wedding date. june 4th will be our third anniversary (too crazy), and i read for the third year you give leather...anyone have a good idea for a present? for leather i am thinking like a belt, watch (gave him one for our wedding), or baseball glove. haha. what would you give?

anyways back to kcfw, keep checking back all week to see my favorite shows and designers. i will let you know where you can find the looks from the runway, i want to know that info too! to insure you don't miss a post subscribe by email and add me on google + too.

until then follow me on  instagram, twitter, facebook, and pinterest to stay in the loop.

kcfw spring 2014 kick off at standard style

thursday kicked off the spring '14 kcfw festivities and the standard style store opening (after renovations). the store looks so clean, crisp and fresh, i love it. plus the standard beauty bar is packed with gorgeous new products for you to go and try. they have great make up artists ready to help you find your best look. 

laura kathleen showcased her incredible designs at standard on thursday. i was completely blown away by the fabrics and details of every seam. her pieces are completely glamorous, and even machine washable. sounds impossible right? but it's true. laura is super sweet and was so fun to meet me and chat with the fellow bloggers. it was so nice to meet all the wonderful kc bloggers and chat about our favorite pieces. 

here's a little sneak peak of her collection. i can't wait to see the whole collection this on saturday! follow along on my instagram and twitter to catch every moment of the show(s).

ps - how amaze is the light fixture? i'm pretty obsessed. 

the merchandiser in me just loves a good visual - that wall of perfectly stacked denim. absolutely amazing.

the table styling was perfection too.
