Alyssa Campenella wins MISS USA!



When my beautiful lil' client, Alyssa Campenella was crowned Miss USA, I couldn't help but think that she just seems so FRESH and fun - the perfect combination of gorgeous and cool with a great head on her shoulders and an eloquent way of expressing herself. 
I was sad at first to learn that she is not into big accesories - probably my favourite thing in the world -  but I now know that its because she makes up for it in MOUNTAINS of personality and a classic but fresh style. Kudos to those who voted for her, I couldn't imagine a better face and brain for California and now the US! Yeay Alyssa -  keeping Miss USA relevant and en Vogue - you have our support mama!! :) 

 I dressed Alyssa in this GORGEOUS silver sequins dress by Ashish Gupta, one of my absolute FAVOURITE designers.
