FASHION BBY [haley]

[ZEPHYR BEHITHA ZEGNA]

When it came to fashion, Zephyr failed epically. Thankfully, she had a personal stylist who told her constantly what was and wasn't in style and let her know when she was wearing something that her husband and his family wouldn't approve of. Right now was one of those many occasions in which she was thankful for the thirty five year old stocky British woman and her infinite knowledge of the fashion world that simply went right over her head on almost every single occasion including this one. Decked out in a figure hugging black cocktail dress and sky high Jimmy Choo's, she looked like the perfect image of a model and of course she was. She just opened and then closed the show that happened only an hour ago in the largest dome of the Botanical Garden. Right now was the after party and always she found herself wondering what these people must have been like in highschool. It was like they didn't know the very definition of a party other than look expensive and glamorous and always have interesting topics to talk about. That's it.

Sighing deeply, she blew a strand of hair out of her face. Her blond locks were partially picked up so the loose beach curls tumbled down her slender back and bare shoulders. She looked attractive, she knew that much, but it was truly not something she was proud of. She would prefer to be make up free wearing some baggy, ratty jeans, a comic book hero tee shirt, and sneakers, lounging around on her couch doodling like some angst ridden teenager. She was what? Twenty one now. She couldn't be doing such shenanigans. Instead, she was standing there on her husband's proud arm as he drank his fifth scotch. That wasn't a good sign. She'd have to send him home soon with their driver. She couldn't have him ruining his own reputation when she was trying so hard not to ruin it.

Feeling like the world was moving in slow motion, she smiled at all the right moments, shook hands with people who congratulated her, let people rant about how they wanted her as their model, bragged to her husband that he was a lucky man. No, he wasn't lucky. She was lucky to find someone like him. Pushing all thoughts out of her mind, she finally got her husband in their town car and then was back at the party. Someone had to be there to represent the Zegna's. It was while standing at the open bar drinking a simple Malibu in Coke did she recognize the only person she knew in the entire place, "Haley," she smiled sweetly at the other female who wasn't so far away and could hear her. She knew she was a princess-who didn't?-but at least she didn't seem to let it go to her head. If she did, she might have to smack some sense into her. She'd met her in the past before she'd gotten married while walking for her mother's line at an after party much like this one and it seemed like this was the only environment they would be caught together in.

They weren't the best of friends but they knew each other enough to not be enemies or just mere acquaintances. It was that comfortable middle ground where she didn't have to call her 'Miss. Williams' or 'Princess' and Haley didn't have to call her 'Mrs. Zegna'. Comfortable and thankfully, she was good company.

TAGGED TO HALEY

[HALEY MARIE WILLIAMS]

Haley's Outfit
The night was about to get interest to say the least for Haley, she did not know what she was doing yet. Sure, the girl had agreed to attend a fashion show and that was something to be nervous about. She had been to fashion show before before but this was first show in New York was different to say the least. It was something that could really make her social status in the New York, if it all went well and that was what she was worried about. The girl just wonder if things would be alright tonight at the show. Haley sighted as she looked down at her French manicure hands and just ran her hand through her hair. She stood up from her four post bed and looked at vanity mirror; she was in no condition of going to a fashion show tonight. A Victory Secret’s Pink sweat pants covered her long legs and pink bra covered her upper body. Haley just sighted, she did not know how this night was going be but she hoped it would be fine.

She just walked to her shower and just turned on the candles, Haley was stressed about tonight. The girl just stood there in the shower as she slowly shower and just thought,there was not much she could do about tonight. Haley covered herself with a towel and just walked out to her room,she did not want help dressing herself but she knew there was no way around it. The girl just stood there as her maids got her dress and bra, helped her put it on. Haley just rolled her eyes as she sat in front of her vanity and did her make up and hair. Now,she was a princess and ready to go to the Fashion Show.

Haley took the elevator to the first floor and just smiled at the doorman as she walked out accompanied by her ladies in waiting. She did not like having so much people surrounding her, her bodyguards opened the door and she got inside the limousine followed by her ladies. She just leaned back as she looked around and notice a couple police motorcycles and her security cars following them. Haley just closed her eyes and took a glass of champagne,one of her ladies pour for her. Yeah,she needed alcohol to get through tonight. The girl took sip of her champagne as she though about tonight.

As the limousine pulled up to the front of the botanical gardens, her drive opened the door and Haley walked out accompanied by her ladies. She just smiled as she walked in and couple people bow to her, she did not feel comfortable people treating her differently. Haley just wanted to be a normal New York teenage girl,but that was not possible. She was far as normal as you could get, Haley understood that. The girl walked around the room as she got glass of champagne and just smiled as some people came up to her. As she walked around the room, she spotted somebody that she recognized Zephyr,the girl that was in charge of her here in New York.The girl just rolled her eyes for a minute as she approached Zephyr and gave girl in her cheek.
"Well Hello,Mrs.Zegna.Fancy seeing you here tonight."She just smiled as she took a sip of her champagne.
