Cleveland, thanks for coming out to the Goodwill Good Style Fashion Show! Man, you guys showed up, the house was packed at Windows on the River! Goodwill hosted such a beautiful event and it was amazing to be part of it. Back stage was buzzing with excited models and unique, creative collections from all the bloggers.

I thoroughly enjoyed creating & styling my collection, Modern Graphic. Thanks to the hair and make up team who provided killer looks for all the models there! Also big thanks to everyone modeling my styles. Everyone was so lovely to work with!

All the clothing items from my collection were finds from Goodwill stores. I was able to thrift some lovely pieces from Zara, Jcrew, Betsey Johnson, Target, H&M and Ralph Lauren. The vintage statement boots were thrifted and then up cycled into a trendy boho style using another Goodwill item, a belt, as a key element in the design. All the jewelry in Modern Graphic are my own designs. Sstyles can be purchased at glamandgraceshop.com

Cleveland Goodwill Good Style Fashion Show

Hey Cleveland! Join us for a super cool fashion event May 7th! Myself and other local fashion bloggers would like to show you the hipness of thrifting and up-cycling at the Goodwill Good Style Fashion Show. 
Each blogger will be curating collections for the runway showcasing thrifted items from local Goodwill stores. I'm super pumped to view all the creative looks. Hors d'oeuvres will be provided and a pop up boutique will be open for shopping. In case you're wondering, yes, it's gonna be hecka fun.

Get your tickets here (half price!) Come to support all the *good* Goodwill puts into our communities. 

I'll be presenting Modern Graphic: A Street Style Collection which will be bursting with uniquely styled bold prints. Monochrome patterns on patterns mixed with chambray, denim and a few pops of color speak loudly in all the looks. Each outfit is casually put together…to fashionably look off beat, highly displaying personality. That’s the art of street style. Also sprinkled though the collection will be up-cycled designs I've created using items from Goodwill. (Bold visual surprises will be flowin'!) Each outfit was budgeted around $15 - $20.

Saturday was the Goodwill Akron Blogger Style Challenge and the store was buzzing! I had a fabulous time hanging out with other area bloggers (including Dina's Days who planned the event!) and chatting with shoppers. For the challenge, we each had $20 to spend and 30 minutes to scour and ransack the store. (just kidding about the ransacking, wink wink). Thankfully, I shop at the store quite often and knew exactly where I needed to go to search for fab finds. I had an idea to try and do a trendy layered look with some sort of a very unique statement piece. First thing I wanted to find was a great skirt...and man, I found a gorgeous fringe maxi. Boom! There was my statement piece! I then based my outfit around it. The fringe was a very bohemian style so I looked for casual neutrals to go with it. For an interesting twist I added a dark gray metallic sparkly Zara top to layer. I felt it added some color depth and a hint of glam to the look. As I was lost in happy designer/styling land, time flew by and it was time to show off our looks! It was cool to see all the other bloggers finds & treasures...and also how they styled them. This was such an inspiring community event. I hope more events like this pop up. It's a great way to show that fashion is about style and not having to spend big bucks.

This Saturday join local fashion bloggers at Goodwill (Waterloo Rd) for a fun style challenge! Should be a cool event. Goodwill Akron is my favorite spot to find one-of-a-kind vintage pieces, I'm constantly there rummaging though the racks. It's kinda like heaven.
Can't wait to hang out with my fellow fashion lovers and get some great pics from this experience!

The lovely Dee from Dina's Days has organized this event. Below are more details:

On May 10, 2014 a group of area bloggers will have 30 minutes to style a look under $20 at Goodwill on Waterloo Rd in Akron. Think of Supermarket Sweep, but with clothes! After the 30 minutes are up, the bloggers will get to share their finds and model their look in the store.  Shoppers and guests will then vote for their favorite look!

We're so excited to have these ladies on board for the challenge. Come out and support your favorite bloggers!

The 2013 NOTO fashion show was so much fun. I had several of my jewelry designs in the show...I loved getting to see them "in action" on the runway. I am a firm believer in detail...the details always make the design complete. This is true when I'm designing a jewelry piece and also when I'm putting together an outfit. My current collection plays with a mix of materials...there's anything from leather, parachute cord, acrylic chain to clay. I love a good challenge and experimenting with all these different materials. This collection is currently for sale downtown Akron in NOTO. Be sure to check it out!

What a gorgeous event at Charles Scott Salon in Rocky River! As I walked around, mingled with fabulous ladies and snapped some photos...my glass was constantly being filled with wine! (They know how to keep a lady happy!) Suddenly a friend and I were wisked away to be given a tour of the open, airy and relaxing salon. Next thing we knew, the gracious and very friendly staff had us seated at a hair station and pampered us with a fresh hair styling. Such a lovely event and had fun chatting with Marissa Frobes from Elle, Katherine Boyed from Q104 and the Wella Professionals rep!
