Kardashian Kollection Makeover

by Kristina on December 14, 2011 · 60 comments

A while back I was in New York City for a makeover / fashion shoot for the new Kardashian Kollection line, which is available exclusively at searsStyle, and designed by the Kardashian sisters. It was such a fun experience (my first professional photo shoot ever!) and I thoroughly enjoyed all the girly aspects (having my makeup, nails and hair done) and all the wonderful people on set. I also really enjoyed getting to know my fellow co-models, A Mom in Red High Heels, and Miss Whoever You Are–such fun girly-girls like myself!

We were instructed to look casual and comfy, and shot “Before” photos. Man, oh, man–wait til you see the “After” photos and you’ll realize why I felt so frumpy beforehand! (Just as a hint…they dubbed my style “Rocker Chic”.) Click on to see the “After” photos! CLICK TO READ THIS POST →

This is a guest post written by Grit & Glamour. Grit & Glamour flew to Barcelona on behalf of Pretty Shiny Sparkly to cover the international photo shoot hosted by MNG by MANGO for jcpenney. Here’s what she experienced. Let’s try not to be jealous! Also, I’ll return to regular posting schedule soon, I’ve been interviewing back to back. — Kristina

Vahni: Touring MANGO headquarters, which is actually in an airplane hangar, was a dream come true. Being able to see fashion production behind-the-scenes, from beginning to end, was not only informative, but eye-opening. You can’t imagine how much effort goes into every single piece, every button, every zipper. It was totally fascinating to me.

Guest Post: Arriving In Barcelona

Vahni: After touching down in Barcelona, feeling quite haggard after a six-hour overnight flight (on which I barely slept), I looked for the “STYLE COALITION” sign and learned I was the first to connect with our transportation crew. After exchanging some money, I grabbed the tiniest “grande” latte I’d ever seen, and waited for the other bloggers to arrive.

Eventually they did arrive, and there we were—bleary and virtually makeup-less fashion bloggers, not in cute clothes, but our comfy leggings and flats, meeting for the first time. The only comfort I could take was that we were all in the same boat.
