Shop 787

I am going to be participating in this wonderful event partnering with Adelante Boutique to showcase my jewelry in front of her amazing Curb Service Airstream trailer.



Here's what the website has to say about the event:

Shop787 is almost here! This Sunday, November 8, Shop787 is the ultimate event to help you kick-start the shopping season. Over 50 local boutiques, designers, and more will have the best they have to offer all in one place!

Mosaic at Mueller will be bustling with holiday shoppers looking for gifts for all ages. Don’t forget the food court and complimentary beverages from Tito’s, Sweet Leaf Tea, Brown Distributing and more. A portion of proceeds from the event will benefit the Dell Children’s Hospital and all attendees are encouraged to bring a children’s book to donate to the Child Life Program at Dell Children’s Medical Center.

Don’t spend another day worrying about satisfying your gift list. Head out this weekend to Shop787 for one stop and dozens of possibilities. Discounted, advance tickets (just $5 and includes all your drinks!) are on sale now.

I'll be showcasing lots of new designs with everything under $60. So I hope to see you there, it should be a wonderful event!

cheers!

Red Carpet

So what do you wear for your first red carpet experience? Well, I decided to go vintage and try on a dress that I hadn't worn in about 7 years. Lo and behold, it fit! Its a Givenchy inspired "little black dress" that I accented with a black leather obi style belt. My purse was a vintage silver clutch which held the essentials; iPhone, lipstick, money & emergency granola bar in case I got hungry. :)

Here's a closer shot of Rob, Aimee and I:


We weren't really sure who the press was stopping to interview. It seemed sort of random so I thought maybe they'd grab me, but I wasn't so lucky.

The Austin Fashion Awards show was great. There were so many people there it was electric! Alpha Rev started the show while people were getting seated. Jenny Hart was the charming emcee of the evening, making everyone feel welcome with a lovely sense of humor too. The Soldier Thread & Ume both played live during 4 different designers' fashion shows and The Octopus Project closed out the night.

We had a great time chatting and meeting people that I feel like I could do that every week! I am going to miss having so many social events to attend.

A big thanks to Matt Swinney of Launch 787 for putting together this whole beautiful week. He and his support team did an amazing job. And kudos to Austin for being so stylish!
