I speak for many women when I say that the pairing of wine and shoes is a true art form, which was showcased beautifully this past Saturday, September 21st at the Four Seasons Hotel Denver.
When I first heard of the Wine, Women and Shoes event I thought that it was specifically made for me; turns out it was made for an even better cause: Child Advocates – Denver CASA. CASA hand selects the most qualified volunteers to represent the best interests of abused and neglected children in the Denver Juvenile Courts. Donations are made to the vision that one day all children will have a safe and nurturing environment where they can thrive.

The founder of Fashion Denver, Brandi Shigley, and I arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel Denver to a greeter who jokingly sang us into the event as if we were in the movie Cinderella (how fitting!). We followed the staircase up to the lavish event where we were asked to put our best foot forward, literally, for a picture of our … Read more!
I have always loved Neiman Marcus and believe their store is the epitome of luxury and class. They carry some of the most exclusive and top name brands in the beauty industry, making it a perfect candidate to host the premier beauty event of the season.
On Saturday, September 14th Neiman Marcus hosted Project Beauty 2013, an event that featured elegant new products and the latest in revolutionary hi-tech tools. The products were displayed in an intimate and exciting runway setting, allowing for close up views of the beauty products, as well as their application on the models. Attendees were offered the chance to enter a raffle where they had the opportunity to win a gift package each time a brand presented and walked the catwalk.
Brandi, founder of Fashion Denver, and I arrived at the morning runway presentation to a friendly and beautiful crowd of individual’s eager to learn more about how they could enhance their beauty routine. We found our seats, were handed a mimosa, and gushed over how excited we were to get professional opinions and tips on the various products.
Oh, and of course to meet the world-renowned Napoleon Perdis!
Wildfires are no stranger to Colorado and it is no secret that this summer they have had an incredibly devastating affect on our beautiful state, as well as the people in it. So, when we heard that Quarterly Karma was hosting Fire in the Sky, an event to benefit all those affected by the Colorado wildfires, we were on board!
Fashion for a good cause? What could be better than that?
Quarterly Karma is a non-profit event planning company that collaborates with the community to raise monetary funds and awareness for worthy causes through unique events.
The event was held on Saturday, September 7th at Cluster Studios in Denver and featured a trunk show, runway fashion show and live music by Redbull and Early Bird // Night Owl. A portion of the proceeds from the event went to Do Your Part, Inc’s fund for the Colorado wildfires, with 98% of every dollar made going directly to the families who need it most. Partygoers enjoyed a few cocktails and ate from the most popular Denver food trucks, offering their support to the commendable charity.
The event hosted a young and lively crowd of Coloradans, making for an entertaining and upbeat … Read more!
Who is the 2013 Fashion Group International RISING STAR of Denver?
That is the very question that lingered in everyone’s mind at the posh event held on Friday, September 6.
Who would be the RISING STAR for the 7th Biennial Signature Event Presented by FGI? I hope to build your anticipation so as to mimic my feelings that night.
The event started just as any upscale event should: on the red carpet. Guests dressed in their finest and strutted into the McNichols Civic Center to a bustling crowd of Denver’s fashion elite. An exclusive group of attendees conversed over hors d’euvres, sipped specialty cocktails alongside designers and participated in a silent auction with proceeds being donated to Dress for Success Denver. Giant ice sculptures, upbeat music, and dapper attendees complimented the lavish event, with Denver’s finest eagerly awaiting the runway presentation to showcase the 14 entrepreneurs nominated for the award. (Might I add, FGI knows how to throw a pre-party.)
Upon show time, the excited guests spiraled up a level to a scene strait out of New York Fashion Week.
