MEI VINTAGE BLOG

Last week I attended the largest fashion tradeshow in Vegas called Magic !   There were wonderful leather handbag s to be seen. We were there to showcase our new collection at the POOLTRADESHOW that focused on art and design driven brands.  It was a jammed packed three day show filled with fashion, entertainment and lots of selling.  Here's a behind the scene look: Setting up our booth at Mandalay Bay Convention Center: Sharing a booth with Kori, a talanted hat designer of Flipside Hats based in Oregon. Me and Kyla from Flipside Hats showing off our trend at Style Stalker Studio A snapshot of the giant fashion marketplace at POOLTRADESHOW !  Check out the displays, fashion, entertainment and art! After a successful show at Magic, I had a free day to relax and unwind!  We spent a day walking around Vegas strip.  2012 is the year of the dragon and Bellagio created this amazing Chinese themed flower garden surrounded by dragons!  ...

It has been a busy month for me preparing for POOLTRADESHOW.  I caught a terrible cold the week before Vegas so I forgot to mention about my exciting giveaway with EcoStiletto.   Click here to enter. Today is the last day, but you still have a chance to win one of our most popular Hermosa leather Clutches .  It's a great Spring/Summer leather purse especially if you are planning on taking a vacation.  It's really lightweight and holds most of your essentials.  I will announce the winner next week.  I am excited to be back home from a long week in Vegas.  I will tell you more about my Vegas tradeshow in my upcoming blog.  There were lots of exciting new products and fashion trends at the show that I can't wait to share.  The weather is so pretty in Cali so I can't wait to relax and enjoy my weekend!  Have a great Presidents weekend everyone!

I am excited to hear about the upcoming Target collaboration with Jason Wu !  Starting Feb. 5th (yay, only few days away) you can get your very own Jason Wu designer pieces at Target.  If you haven't heard by now, Jason Wu is a taiwanese-born and Manhattan-based designer that came to fame while designing First Lady Michelle Obama's gorgeous white dress. His cocktail dresses retail from $3,000 to $6,000 and daydress are from $1,000 to $4,000.  Some of Jason Wu's dresses have also been seen on celebrities like Meester, Amber Valetta and Kerry Washington.  Check out his current collection here . He's collection for Target is very figure flattering and oh so affordable.  Lots of flirty dresses, pretty blouses, and figure flattering shorts that lengthen your legs. Can't wait to support my fellow Taiwanese and stock up on some of his amazing pieces for Spring! Pics via here   Jason Wu for Target Commercial

Good bye 2011. Hello 2012!! Year of the Dragon holds a special place in my heart for the Chinese Zodiac sign.  My grandmother, who is the proud owner of the  mini dumpling satchel , she was  born in the year of the Dragon, and she's the sweetest old lady.  She's such a great female role model.  Her ambition, wisdom, and passion for life holds true to her fierce dragon personality.   Aside from my bias, the Dragon is the most treasured sign because it is the mightiest of them all.  That means we’re all in for a mighty good year! Dragons tend to be dominant, very successful and ambitious. Dragons are driven, unafraid of challenges, and are risk-takers. So get ready, I think this year is going to be powerful!  Speaking of getting ready for a brand new year...   I was in search of a lucky charm the other day and I came across these adorable Chinese zodiac charm necklaces from a New York based jewelry designer, Alex Woo .  They are jus...
