Vacation....now there's a word I haven't used in years. I literally started working on accomplishing my dreams and the next thing I knew, four years had passed. I must admit that as I look at the things I've accomplished, it was well worth it! I can still stay that in spite of the apparent bumps along the way, I wouldn't change a thing about the chaotic roads that fashion has and continues to take me down.
It's been some time now since I've actually had the chance to sit and update my blog. So as I sit staring out the window of the Venetian hotel at the most remarkable view, allow me give you the cliff notes to all the fabulousness that has occupied me over the past few months.....
March brought in the spring with a trip to Dallas to be featured along side Nicholas D'Aurizio of Project Runway and Oscar Fierro in the Celebrity Fashion Experience II. As I prepared to showcase I was graced with the opportunity to be interviewed by the very bubbly and beautiful Toni Donclottni. Our interview was featured on Dallas CW33 KDAF.
FHM and Ron Smith brought a chic upscale runway show to the Aloft. Topping off me evening, the lovely Dawn Nuefeld of NFL Housewives attended the event, wearing one of the pieces from my Spring 2011 collection!
April gave me the opportunity to bring things home to Arkansas. Behind glass windows that overlooked the city of Little Rock, I brought Haute in the City to the grand ballroom of the Clinton Library. In a small intimate setting during the high afternoon, my Fall 2011 collection hit the runway. The show was hosted by Miss Arkansas USA Lakynn McBride. FYI her beauty comes from within and I was honored that she came out just for me.
May was delightful for me. I had the opportunity to attend the birthday bash for Kathy Jordan Sharpton as well as design her attire for the evening. The star studded event is held each year by Kathy Jordan Sharpton to raise funds for the city's youth. Her spirit impacted me in a way that will be with me forever. As Marvin Sapp sang like I've never heard, I got my praise on along with my guest for the evening, the handsome super model Bobby Roache. During my visit to the big apple I was honored with the privilege to be a special guest on Rev. Al Sharpton's radio show.
And that's my summer in review. Each opportunity I've humbly accepted and each opportunity God has placed some wonderful people in my path. Now it’s back to the sewing machine...New York awaits!!
