There's No Place Like Home

Last night Eloise and I were able to attend the "There's No Place Like Home" fashion show fundraiser benefiting Liz's House and Bridge Street Place. It was the 25th anniversary of the event and Leigh's was a sponsor so we HAD to be there! It was such a fabulous night! It took place at the Goei Center in Grand Rapids. It was a furniture factory turned urban chic venue. I was loving it!

Eloise and I felt like celebrities because we were asked to pose with guests for pictures along side a handsome gentleman named Fitz (he was from Fitzgerald's). This is definitely going to be my big break, Eloise and I looked fabulous!

As you can see Eloise was being a bit of a diva and blocked my fabulous dress (little does she know, she may have gotten the spotlight but I got Fitz's number. Score!) We both wore Rachel Roy dresses with Alexis Bittar jewelry. After posing for some pictures, Eloise and I decided to go backstage and mingle with some of the models! They were all so great! I snapped some pictures of them lining up before I headed back out front for the show.

Eloise and I had so much fun at the event. The only thing better than fashion, is fashion for a cause!

 

 

Artsy Adventure

Spring has sprung and Lola and I were ready for an afternoon on the town! We always make it a goal to be more cultured and hip, so we decided to spend our afternoon at the Urban Institute of Contemporary Arts (or more known as the UICA). It is an awesome gallery downtown Grand Rapids. It features art from locals as well as international art. It certainly has a little something for everyone! The pictures below are from a current exhibition called "Mercurial Silence" by Caroline Gore showing how grief and loss manifest in society.

For our day out I decided to rock some spring pastels with an eggshell Jackett Jacket, an Echo scarf with a splash of pink, and a little wrist party with Zenzii and Blessings in Disguise bracelets. The whole outfit was pulled together with a Vince top and Vince boyfriend pant (Lola was sure to let me know, though she may not want a boyfriend she definitely wants the pants!)

Lola wanted to break out her summer attire, so she wore a Rachel Zoe python print dress, with a Kenneth Jay Lane necklace and Zenzii cuff. It was the perfect blend of edgy and fun to lure the artsy men in. I think Lola spent more time looking at them than the art!

It was such a cool experience seeing art made by people right here in GR. The exhibitions are always changing and Lola and I can't wait to go back!
