"Fall Fashion Thrifted"

The cool weather is upon us this week, so ladies pull out
Your winter garments and see which ones make the cut for this season
If you're not wearing it , don't put it back in storage. Donate it to Goodwill.
Or if your closet is in need of some new infusion of clothes on a budget
Thrifting for unusual garments can really accent your wardrobe, add it to the mix
MIX IT UP! 
With that in mind , me and my small amazing crew:

Jenelle Esparza photography took all the incredible images.
Isabella Humphries model and asst. stylist.

Set off to 
The Goodwill. Staff at the Blanco/Loop 410 location were very helpful in accommodating us 
with space in store and allowed us to work in a very organic way, 
I would like to thank  Demika Devers, manager, for treating us with kindness and respect.
She made sure we were taken care of , while we sprawled out in a front corner of the store, with 
lighting and props and all the things involved in a photo shoot, imagine the dressing room
The styling was the part I anticipate the most and this shoot was no different, only that this time I had an amazing model,  Isabella, who has great fashion sense ,so she helped in the styling of certain looks
We had work to do and we managed to have fun at the same time, so much that we plan on our next outing to happen in early November at another Goodwill location. 
I was going to describe each outfit, now I feel there is no need for that.
Here are the looks from the Goodwill.
Remember when you shop at Goodwill, you're funding educational programs and
Services that assist people in finding better jobs and building careers.
Enjoy!

Runway En La Calle


August the month Agosto the man.

This month was one of the most trying 
It has been a whirlwind of emotions
A slate of stop and go
A mirror reflected at everyone
Yet so obscured it only seems like a bad version on VHS
Birthdays ...my moms
Dad falls off the office chair as he lean backwards
Tile floors are what they want in there
Living in the country. 
My parents are still young my dad is going to be 73
He was rushed to the emergency room at St. Luke's
Monday last week ......had brain surgery on Tuesday, the following day
Now has two metal plates on the left side of his head
He has made an awesome glory to God recovery
One week ago today......was his operation.

He was released home on Sunday with amazing results
The doctor said it was short of a miracle
It was the grace of GOD and the many prayers warriors who prayed for my 
Dad's recovery
I went to visit him yesterday at the ranch
On the harvest moon. 
I lite the grill and cooked a ribeye for him and my mom
She made baked potatoes with sour cream and ranch
I ate a bologna sandwich with chips just cause, I felt like a kid again
Helping my parents. It had been a while.with my commitments to so many things
I had not made time , but put all other projects aside,since my daddy was sick and I had to be strong and near to them.
My focus was blurred on my work, it has suffered and is not ready to be shared with the
World these creations I have been working on are dear and close to my heart
My production of Runway En La Calle, which also includes my spring/summer collections for the past 5 years has been an extremely demanding project
This year... it's toll caught me off guard with all of life's unexpectedness 
I have decided with my number one mentor my MOM , that this year I will not be showing a collection of my garments at Runway En La Calle, the event I have nourished from the beginning, I am retaining the producer title, since the show is this Saturday
In the historic westside of San Antonio 
The other featured designers have stepped up and I am confident this will be an amazing event as it has been in past years of me producing and designing.

I do feel I am gearing up for Fashion Week in San Antonio November 1-7
And believing I will be able to showcase my current collection via video.
Hello September issue days!
Hello fellow friends and readers
See you at 
RUNWAY EN LA CALLE THIS SATURDAY
8:30 SHOWTIME
