Last Thursday I boutique party hopped, as it was a busy evening packed with a launch, a grand opening and an anniversary! Love this fashion life! So let’s start at the beginning…
Marysia Swim Designer Maria with Daughter
First stop, Maddison Row for the chic cocktail party celebrating the launch of the Marysia Swim Line. Looking at the swimwear I was kicking my self about not going to my Hip Hop Dance class in over 6 months. These suits were hot which means I need to hit the squats! Love the reversible swimsuit that you can wear in turquoise or reverse for gold! GOLD, yes, very Beyoncé glam in my opinion. Then Maria Dobrzanska Reeves designer showed me the bikini with gold button detail! I’m in! I can clearly envision this swimwear paired with strappy stilettos for a glamorous pool party! Check out this line sold at Hampden Clothing and Maddison Row (both mentioned in Vogue’s March Issue.)
In The Bag
Next, I pop into the In The Bag grand opening party! What a fab concept, really! The concept is that you can design your own bag, meaning that you can pick out hardware, fabric, and style!
Jennifer Snowden and In The Bag Owner Lissa Kemp Myers
I made a date with Lissa Myers to try my hand at this. I will keep you posted on my creation. As I mingled with guest the hot topic was Charleston Fashion Week and it felt like we were all huddled around the campfire with everyone saying “remember when…”
Tip: In The Bag does parties with all the necessities included (great gift for the bridal party!)
WHITE Anniversary Party
Last stop is the WHITE anniversary soiree. As I walk up and before I even enter I find my self-spending 10 minutes posing in photos with Charleston Fashion Week models and designers! Inside the paparazzi doesn’t end as there are camera flashes everywhere and the party is packed!
A Packed House At WHITE
On the flat screen TV is footage of WHITE’s runway presentation at the Bridal Couture Show during Charleston Fashion Week. In fact, the energy and spirit of CFW is still flowing at this party! Yonni and Natty Heavy of Z-93 are playing all of the right jams and Jodi Moylan (owner and bridal couture designer) is floating around the room like the social butterfly that she is! (People really adore her!)
Jodi, Owner Of White, Gushes Thank You’s!
The runway show is about to begin and Jodi takes the mic for an endearing list of thank you’s ending with a very deserving appreciation for Lindsey Nowak, event designer, for planning this red carpet affair (really, there is a red carpet!) The runway presentation is very VERY upbeat unlike any bridal show that I have ever seen. For example, Flo Rida’s Get Low in the background as models skipped and strutted down the red carpet in Jenny Packham couture! Love the Axl Rose lace bandana detail…I would like to think she was inspired by the bridal fashion spread in Charleston Weddings Magazine (wink).
Chic Avant-Garde Runway Veil
During this high-energy presentation I fell in love with this glamorous fashion forward veil worn on the shoulders (as I believe it was designed for.) The night ended with the same party vibe that it began with! Congrats on a glam booty-shakin’ bridal couture red carpet anniversary bash!
