Local downtown restaurants participate in GSO FABweek 2011

Hello Gorgeous!
We have some UNBELIEVABLE news that will knock your Loubies right off of your little feet! To all event goers of GSO FABweek, local downtown Greensboro restaurants, Center City Bar & Grille and Palmetto Restaurant, will offer you the chance to dine with them after each Fashion Show and Mixer during April 28 - 30, 2011, and will discount your food bill by 5%, and match another 5% to the American Red Cross NC Tornado Fund!
Sooo EXCITING! Can't you just taste the Chicken and Waffles from Palmetto, and/or the delicious BBQ and Hushpuppies from Center City?  Yum, YUM! 
So here's how it will work.  When you arrive at each event, you will be given a special badge that you will need for dining purposes only! As you know, our neighboring cities were hit drastically by the sudden tornadoes that swept through our state.  And since you have to eat, you might as well dine for the cause! 
Okay, the stomach is growling and I have work to do! See you downtown! And in my best Julie Childs voice, "Bon Appetit!" 


Loving Fashion & Beauty,
xoxo
GSO FABweek Girl

On the Frontlines…Rules for the Runway:

As GsoFABweek is quickly approaching, I’m sure many of you are asking the same question…What on earth do I wear?? Have no fear dolls, your GSO FABweek gal is here to give you the low down of what to wear to a fashion show. Here are some simple rules to follow…

1) Pay Tribute: Usually, you honor the designer by wearing one of their pieces. Fortunately, GSO FABweek will be featuring multiple designers per show, so you gals have a wide spectrum to choose from.

2) Shoe Stopper: This is not the time to bring out the ballet flats! Truth is, when you are not mingling you will be sitting watching the show, which gives your tootsies ample time to rest! Tonight’s the night to bring out those babies you paid way too much for and feel guilty wearing! No need to give your feet a rest tonight let them steal the show!

3) A Pop of Color: I’m always a HUGE fan of the LBD, but tonight, give her a rest. All the fashionistas around you will see right through your little “conservative” act.  Why not play it up with a little pop of color and show your fellow chic pals that you are on cue with the trends of the season? (You do know this is the season of bright colors right??) Hello, take a look at the spring palate…coral, turquoise, hot pink…don’t short yourself by being bland in the back wearing BLACK!

4) Keep it Classy: No one at a fashion show wants to see your “goodies.” That’s right, strap the girls in and no hiking of the skirts please. At fashion shows you will be surrounded by the elite, which leave no time to be slutty. (Yes, I said it!) If you would wear it to a frat party, put it back in the closet! 

5) Throw it in the bag: You don’t have to go overboard and spend thousands of dollars on a dress you will only wear once, but different rules apply to the bag.  If it’s a fake or a replica, leave it at home. Anyone with a good eye will see right though your Flouie Vuitton. If you can’t afford the real thing, borrow, or opt for a sleek bag that has no label. You will thank yourself later!

6) Who’s that girl?: Unless you are a total celebrity (not in your own mind) please remove the shades. Besides, the show will be totally dark and believe me, you DON’T want to miss a thing!  Those who try to stay incognito are only cheating themselves; they totally can’t see and miss the entire event! So, throw those sunnies on while you are en route to the show, but remember to throw them in your glam bag once you walk the red carpet! We wanna see those gorgeous lashes dolls!

That’s the low down gal pals…We can’t wait to see what you choose!! If you have any other dire questions, let us know!

Until April 28^th….

Xoxo,

GSO FABweek Girl

CHANEL Cosmetics creates a makeup station at GSO FABweek

Hey Gorgeous!
You can't have a "Makeup & Martini" mixer without a makeup station, right? Right! Our brilliant organizers reached deep in the hat and pulled out CHANEL!  Yes, that is right, Belk-Friendly CHANEL Cosmetics counter will be the official makeup for "Makeup & Martinis" on April 28, 2011 at Churchill's on Elm from 7:00 PM -9:00PM! 
The CHANEL makeup station will feature the latest Eyeshadows, Blushes, Lip Glossimers, and Lipsticks from the Spring/Summer 2011 collection, and will be open all night long for guests to enjoy! So let me summarize that night, $5 Martinis, Swag Bags, Hors d'oeuvres, a panel of Beauty Experts, live band, and of course, CHANEL makeup! Sounds like a girls night out to me! 
See you there!

The $5 surprise

Hello Gorgeous!
Since the last time that we spoke, we have made some slight changes! Don't get hysterical; it was only for the better, I promise! Our kickoff event, "Makeup & Martinis" has changed locations.  Instead of the savvy Bin 33, we are now headed to the uber sexy "Churchill's on Elm"! But get this, not only will you enjoy beauty talk and makeovers, you now can pick from the eleven Martinis, three of them being signature drinks, for only...drum roll please....$5! That's right, gorgeous, $5 all night long.  Make sure you log onto www.gsoFABweek.com and click on the tickets tab to secure your spot.  So there you have it, makeup, martinis, and the final surprise, a live band! DON'T MISS IT!!!

Find me on the "front row"

Hello Gorgeous!

I once heard someone say, "the front row is the only row at a fashion show!" Whether you agree or not, the truth is, it is NOT a bad seat! Photographers, as well as journalists, bloggers, and the overall crowd are attracted to who is occupying the front row.  Why the "front row"? It's sexy, glamorous, and will get you noticed!    

This should be you, and with that being said, if you are thinking about attending "GSO FABweek", then you definitely want to secure you spot by purchasing a VIP ticket! Trust me, with the perks of this type of ticket, everyone should want VIP.

See you on the front row!
