Life’s Too Short to Wear Boring Jewelry

GLAM BOMB 3

It’s no secret that I have an obsession with jewelry.  I mean, just look at how I sectioned off a corner of my room to be called the “jewelry corner” and you’ll know.

The Perfect Petal hosted Glam Bomb 3, its third annual jewelry event on October 3 to benefit One of 99.  One of 99 puts together art education outreach programs for local youth through the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver. 100% of ticket sales went directly to the cause.

The chic soiree was held at 1820 Blake Street; the most gorgeous historic mansion nestled in the middle of the city. I entered through an unpretentious green door tucked in between Vesta Dipping Grill and an Office Space, unsure of what I was walking into.  I walked up a tall staircase, was handed a raffle ticket and entered a world of accessory bliss.

There were striking displays scattered around the stunning home.  Designers had their lines intricately presented at their own distinct location, and whether it was a display on the coffee table in the loft, or amongst pictures on the bedside tables, it was presented beautifully.  It was truly the most … Read more!

Megan Kaltenbach

Fashion Denver first worked with Megan Kaltenbach back in June when we sponsored her trunk show at the Forest Room 5. (Check out pictures from the event here!)

I sadly wasn’t a part of the Fashion Denver team back in June, but was lucky enough to meet Megan Kaltenbach for a meeting last week to see where the talented jewelry designer is now – months after her successful trunk show.

I wanted to meet Megan for multiple reasons.  One reason being that her jewelry is AMAZING.  Second reason being that, like me, she was a student-athlete in college striving towards a future in fashion.

If you don’t know about Megan Kaltenbach, trust me: you want to.

Quick Background:

Megan moved to Colorado at the age of four and later went on to attend Smoky Hill High School where she excelled in track.  And when I say she excelled I mean, she excelled. She collected 14 State Titles, was inducted into the Colorado Women’s Sports Hall of Fame and was awarded a scholarship to the University of North Carolina where she was a 2-time NCAA champion.
