BoHo HoBo Presents … Mena a Runway Show

Runway show November 13th, 1pm slt. as Part of Peacefest 2011
…. What do you want to do.. sit around and be lazy all day?

BoHo HoBo - Mena Runway Show

BoHo HoBo presents Meena, a runway show and a new shop named Meena, is in honour of the founding member of RAWA, the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan which has been fighting for human rights, democracy and social justice in Afghanistan since 1971. All proceeds from the sales of both Meena, and BoHo HoBo go to RAWA in order to help fund schools, orphanages, clinics and income generating projects for Afghan people.

The style of clothes is ‘Afghanistan Bohemian’. It is a hybrid of traditional Afghan styles and western styles of clothes. Traditional afghan styles have a lot of variety due to the many ethnic groups represented in Afghanistan, as well as it’s historic place on the ancient silk road and the influences of the various cultures that have passed through this desert country. Tajik, Uzbek, Kyrgyz, Kuchi nomad, Indian, Turkish and Persian styles are all influencing factors in the style of traditional Afghan clothes and as well in this collection of Afghanistan Bohemian wear.

Join us at the Fashion show….. at Meena.

LOTD 10 26 11 – AUTUMN (again)

I’ve been trying to go to the different designer showcase sales around the grid lately #1 to see several designers in one location and #2 who wants to pass up a great deal on great stuff!  Well, I found these pants at The Dressing Room (can’t remember if it was the current one or last one), but they are from Fishy Strawberry – always find stuff there I like!

LOTD – 10 25 11 – AUTUMN

My favorite time of the year… cool enough to wear a sweater in the morning, but when the sun comes out in the afternoon, you can still go sleeveless.  I went to P-10 today to look at the new release, but instead of a pair of sandals (I’m not much for sandals in the fall) I got this pair of gorgeous boots.

10 25 11 LOTD Full

I absolutely LOVE the laces on the back of the boots and when you buy a single color on P-10 shoes, you get the option of changing to black or intermixing the colors as I’ve done here with the sole and heel.

If ya like this so far… keep going…..
