GODDESS GARDENS FASHION SHOW

Summer has begun. 

    Strapping on my @JessicaSimpson purple velvet Dany platforms. Clasping on my @SwarovskiCrystal adorned evil-eye jewelry.  Tightening the straps on my @FreePeople bohemian maxi dress. I am ready. All dolled up, I board the Northwestern Line on the Metra. It is time to kick off the summer, and no better way than by 
attending the @NicoleDesignsAll Goddess Gardens Fashion Show. 

     Allow me to introduce you all, to my beloved jewelry designer & friend, @NicoleHarry. Nicole Harry, born in Rhode Island, is the founder & designer of Nicole Designs All. At this event, Nicole Harry launched her summer jewelry collection, "Goddess Gardens" aimed to embrace the inner goddess within every woman. The guests were welcomed with a live band performance, appetizers and of course, my personal favorite - drinks/wine! (This is why I believe Ramona from #RHONY & I would be great friends - our shared appreciation for Pinot Grigio.) For VIP Seating, we were given wonderful swag-gifts containing oils/scents from @NineEssential. The show was filled with beautiful jewelry pieces, goddess inspired gowns and colorful make-up & hair artistry. At the end of the event, Nicole Harry donated the proceeds to the non-profit campaign, @CeaseFire , dedicated to stopping shootings & killings. 

Event: Goddess Gardens Fashion Show

Location: Private Tent in Millennium Park

My Review: Her collection was consistent with the theme of strength and beauty through her signature employment of feathers, natural stones and metal wiring. What I enjoyed the most, was that she was capable of embracing versatility in her collection; every woman was able to identify with at least one look as her own. This was a phenomenal show, and one of few that dedicate the artist's efforts towards bettering the community - she is a true inspiration!

Be sure to look through the photos to get a more behind-the-scenes look at this event. At the end of this post, there is a video reel featuring the fashion show & personal interviews from its special VIP guests!

Love be with you,

Nothing is more sexier on a woman, than the curves of her back - why not embellish it with this lovely piece!
