Samsung's Fashion Steps Out: Orchard Fashion Runway

Last weekend saw one of the highlights of Samsung's Fashion Steps Out, the Orchard Fashion Runway. During this event, Orchard Road is shut down and transformed into a fashion runway. This year, 173 models, each wearing one outfit, strut down the 600 meters along Orchard Road. It's an impressive affair, and I was able to capture a few shots, both backstage and on the runway, for you!

Balloons...who doesn't love balloons?
Having Orchard Road as the runway emphasizes the show's accessibility - almost all the clothes seen during the show can be bought immediately after the show, too, in stores. That's something that's a little different from most runway shows.

Giveaway: Win a ShabbyApple Dress!

I'm so excited - it's giveaway time! And to mix things up a little, this time it's not going to be my usual staples of makeup, nail polish, or skincare! This time, the prize is a gorgeous dress from Shabby Apple (http://www.shabbyapple.com), a online boutique selling women's dresses. The Shabby Apple dress up for grabs is this gorgeous little beauty, the Side Saddle Dress:

Despite the equestrian-inspired theme of the dress, from the Side Saddle Collection, the dress is actually pretty versatile. I love how the mint colour is really on-trend now, and yet the brown tones the colour down and makes it wearable for even conservative office environments.

Here's the dress now, without the horse:

Isn't it pretty? I also like that it's the type of dress that would flatter most figures, and although it is vintage-inspired, it still retains a modern feel. To enter, simply fill out the giveaway form below! The giveaway lasts for 2 weeks, and it will end on the 30th of March, so get cracking - it won't last forever! Giveaway is open to US residents, as the prize will be shipped to the US only.
