Upcoming Event: The White Party


On May 27th Austin's A-listers will be decked out in all white at one of the most anticipated parties of the year.  All the proceeds from the White Party go to the non-profit organization, LifeWorks, which works to transition children and families from crisis to safety and success.  LifeWorks helps over 10,000 families each year by operating 17 programs spanning housing, counseling, and youth development.

This year the White Party will have Grey Goose cocktails, food from some of Austin's best restaurants, and music by DJ Johnny Bravvo.  But, what I'm most excited about is being there to document all the style.  And what will I be wearing??  UT graduate, and clothing designer Lauren Perdue is working on making a custom white dress for me as we speak!  Those are her sketches above of possible dress options.  Aren't they amazing? I can't wait to show y'all the result!

What:

  • Grey Goose cocktails
  • food by Paggi House, Second Bar + Kitchen, Bess Bistro, Max’s Wine Dive, Ranch 616 and more
  • music by DJ Johnny Bravvo
  • all proceeds go to LifeWorks
  • buy tickets

Recap: Treasure City Thrift Recycled Fashion Show


Thank you to Treasure City Thrift and iLoveMikeLitt for putting together an amazing fashion show.  I made the trek all the way to E.12th and Harvey St. for the local awesomeness this past Saturday.  I'm not really going to critique the fashion that was shown, because altogether it was just a fun show.  All of the designers approached the task of recycling thrifted materials differently.  Some chose to make political statements with their designs, while others chose to just make a statement...a statement that went kinda like "whoa! that's crazy."  And then there were the designs that you could actually see yourself rockin out on the town.  Regardless of their different styles and approaches, it was clear that all the designers have TALENT.  There was a lot of love at this show, and, it was just one more event that made me so happy to live in the amazing city of Austin!
