#GetScattered in Sequins

#GetScattered in Sequins

On Monday, I worked my very first red carpet for the premiere of Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf’s. I just knew that I had the perfect shoes to #GetScattered in, a pair of J.Crew Sequin heels.

Here’s the thing about working a red carpet, though, you’re standing for, like three hours as the celebrities are ushered through the line of photographers and journalists all vying for their attention. It’s no joke. You can see how it wouldn’t be smart to navigate in sequin shoes. You’re on the other side of the velvet rope, dear. Do you your job.

I didn’t think about any of that when I got dressed in the morning, though. I was like ‘what’s the most whimsical thing I could wear that would prepare me mentally to meet fabulous people wearing fabulous outfits all out in support of a fabulous department store.’

A dress.

And sequins.

I don’t feel good about myself in pants. Or flats. So I didn’t wear just one of the above. I went for both. I stuck with it, even when the weather man said that it would only be a high of 60 degrees. Even when it started to drizzle. I just decided to put my shoes in my bag. I’d wear riding boots, over-the-knee socks with my lace Rodarte for Target dress, and denim jacket.

So, yes, I was committed.

Right up until my boss prepped me for the event and told me to make sure that I was wearing comfortable shoes. “You can change into your sequins to watch the movie,” she says noticing my face, as I looked longingly at the shoes. And back down at my scuffed riding boots like they had wronged me.

I should have just worn flats that I could have easily stuffed into my bag when it was time to change shoes. So it was my fault really.

If I was going to watch Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf’s in a theater with Tommy Hilfiger, Pat Cleveland, Vera Wang, Christian Siriano, Nanette Lepore, Betty Halbreich, and Linda Fargo (Bergdorf’s fashion director who said that no one had ever asked her my question) that meant I had to wear sequins.

So, I sat in the theater, watching in those same scuffed up boots that I walked past Bergdorf Goodman in, smiling to myself. It was definitely better than sequins.

    […] Splurge: Bergdorf Goodman is a magical place where the windows indeed are a look into my soul. Too far? So our tour would be remiss without a peek at Rodarte’s Fashion Week windows for the iconic New York Department store. Once there we had the opportunity to chat with one of the men who styles the windows (AKA makes the magic happen). He even gave us a peek behind the scenes. […]

    Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin
