"Make it work."

Happy Friday!

Last night was my friend's fashion show that I mentioned in a previous post. And good news, people... I didn't pull a Carrie Bradshaw and fall on my face! :) But, more importantly, it was an outstanding success! The event was maxed out (150+ attendees) and people were scheduling fittings after the show left and right! I am so, so proud of Maria. She really made her vision a reality. Anyone-whether the clothes are their style or not-has to give her a very big high five for achieving something most of us aren't brave enough to ever attempt.

She drew a winner of the custom clothes giveaway I blogged about AT the show last night and I'm excited to annouce that the winner is...Meggie! I don't want to put her last name on here because I'm weird with last names on the public interwebs unless you have permission, but she's already been notified and is way jazzed! Thank you to everyone who followed Maria and supported her! 

For some reason I can't get the site I use to work in order to randomly draw the $25 Sephora card winner, but I have your names and will draw it this weekend and post ASAP! Thank you for entering, supporting Maria, and basically just being awesome. Thank you.

And now for some pics!  
(1) Getting hair and makeup done, (2) the stage before people arrived, (3) me not falling on my face (wahoo!), and (4) Beth/me after the show! Beth was so great and took pics/video during the show.


The line is called Vestida and has its own Facebook page if you're interested in seeing what it's all about! :)


In addition to an outstanding event planner, local restaurants, photographers, etc, Maria enlisted the help of Shannon Schroeder, a personal stylist here in T-town. Friends, I have to mention her b/c she is adorable, fashionable and oh-so-knowledgable! She shares fun fashion tips, blogs, etc, all the time on her facebook page and even has a regularly occuring spot on a local station to talk all things fashionable. She posts her tv spots on her Facebook page, too. :) Check her out if you're interested! I kinda want her to style me every day of my life. Just if I'm being honest.


Hope you're gearing up for a fantastic weekend. We had a water main break in the building so we closed early today! (Legally we had to close). Not so bad for a Friday afternoon!

Loved your comment on my high school post - I had a feeling we have a lot in common from our previous years! Glad I wasn't the only one! xoxo
