For those of you who have not heard of this runway show, it is a nationally acclaimed luxury brand event to help benefit the Washington Humane Society.  The models who walk in the show agree to raise a minimum of $5,000 in just 10 weeks leading up to the event by taking part in a friendly fundraising competition.  They are the bread and butter of this amazing fundraiser. We had so much fun watching these models strut down the aisle with their pups by their side, wearing the latest pieces that DC’s local luxury retailers carry.  They were able to raise over $404k by the end of it all AND helped numerous sheltered doggies find forever homes that night!  Such a fun event to attend, combining our two favorite things…fashion and dogs!  Brilliant idea. Check out what we wore to the event and the shots we captured below:  Michelle is wearing- Dress: Herve Leger; Blazer: ALC (old, find similar here); Necklace: Auden; Shoes: Jimmy Choo;  Clutch: Hunting […]

The Junior League does a great job with this event and they had an overwhelming turn out to shop.  It definitely put me in the holiday spirt and got me thinking of unique presents for friends and family.  There were so many cute shops set up, think of it as a market of Etsy stores with Santa Claus and Christmas music. The Junior League of Washington (JLW) is an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism by raising funds to help with the complex issues of literacy in the greater metropolitan area of the District of Columbia.  A portion of the proceeds from this event went to their cause.  I highly recommend you check out this event next year! xoxo Sarah P
