So where were we?
Ah yes, the faux princess was getting ready for her fancy night out, courtesy of her fairy godmother fashionista (fgf). Her outfit had a decidely "Mad Men-esque" look as she had chosen to wear the perpel dress since she had the shoes, which were absolutely FABULOUS. She curled her hair, did her make-up and was ready to go…

She met her fgf (who happened to be wearing the most wonderful moss green Burberry coat, over a short, beaded paisley 3.1 Phillip Lim) @ the hotel and together they walked over to the ballroom where the fairytale was to begin…As they got their tickets, she could see the line-up of all the other ladies waiting to look at the amazing prizes . As they walked closer the buzz of excitement got louder. To her left, a Bobbi Brown make-up station. To her right, the line up of silent auction prizes. And all around, women in their party frocks, ready to have a good time…
She peeked into the ballroom and right there was the runway in the middle of the room and all around it were tables with big, flowing centerpieces of white feathers , pink roses and mirrored lamp shades.
The princess (for she felt like a real one for the evening) and her fgf looked at the prizes and went in to find their table. They found that they had one of the best tables in the room, right at the end of the runway! They introduced themselves to their table mates and one of the ladies said “Do you know so-and-so?” and the princess said “So-and-so? No, I don’t think so. Did they go to my school?” And she said, “Oh. No. But her friend looks exactly like you and she has the same name.” WEIRD, thought the princess, maybe I DO have an evil twin! (Or good twin, depending on which one she was. haha)
Then dinner began. She knew it was gonna be a good one because instead of having the usual whipped butter for the bread, there was olive oil & balsamic vinegar…The salad consisted of vegetable cannelloni with baby greens dressed with an olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette. The main course was a hot, delicious breaded chicken breast, stuffed with fontina cheese and basil butter which was accompanied by a delicate cream sauce, asparagus spears, zucchini and roasted red pepper. Divine!! The meal ended with a duo of sherbets – strawberry and chocolate in a yummy shortbread cup. It was wonderful…
But now, the main portion of the evening was going to begin…
One by one, the models came out in sumptuous designer fashions: Gucci, Prada, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana and so many more...jewel toned evening gowns, shining sequin party dresses, beautifully tailored coats, and furs…glorious furs in every color! They carried Python handbags, leather totes, sparkling clutches and beautiful minaudieres.
The princess was in heaven…her favorite outfit of the evening was the perpel ostrich feather skirt, topped with a cute perpel cashmere short sleeved sweater. It was so fabulous she thought she would die!
When finally the last girl walked down the runway and the show was done, they got up to leave but the princess took one last picture of her and her fairy godfashionista…
It was the end of her fashion fairytale, but she would have the vision of that perpel ostrich feather skirt outfit in her head forever…
The End.
PS. BTDubs, Thank you to my fgf, Erin. You're awesome.
PPS. Sorry, the pictures are so blurry - I only had my ipod with me. I didn't want to look TOO excited. :)
