MKE Fashion Week: Nights 1 & 2

Hi there! Hope your week is off to a great start. I thought I would start to share all the details from Milwaukee Fashion Week.

I’m very proud of the city for pushing to put Milwaukee on the map for fashion. Because I promise, we like more than beer and cheese.  So happy 2nd birthday mke fashion week.

Lets start with night 1. The main things I learned is that I am not a model and I walk really fast. My dear friend is a designer and when she asked for model help, I couldn’t say no! I got to experience the show from a unique perspective on night one.

Here is the whole gang! Lauren did a great shop and worked very hard so snaps for everyone. Obviously my biggest supporter was there too:

As far as night 1 goes, I didn’t get to enjoy the show and see the designers as much as I would have hoped, since I was in it. But night 2 made up for it.

I had a special guest with me, another local Milwaukee blogger who is a sweetheart! Meet Lauren of Ruehl World:

I got to wear this beautiful dress by Luci Boutique. Of course the color is on point for me. Not to mention Lauren and I had Italian for dinner so this covered all the carbs I enjoyed!

I know this was a quick recap, but its hard to enjoy myself and keep snapping pics! Even though I upgraded to the 128G iPhone so the storage is endless! As far as nights 1 and 2 go, I was so proud of everyone for their unique and bold designs! It takes a lot to showcase your ideas and take the opinions.

Cheers Milwaukee!

Support & Shop Local

We all love our home town. The city we live in. Or the new city you just moved to. Whatever your case may be. You live where you live for a reason.

If you don’t happen to love where you live, pick up and move sister!

When we decided to stay in Milwaukee versus moving to New York, the factors just didn’t include family or jobs or friends….it included facts why we love Milwaukee. What makes us proud to live here? Well we obviously had a solid list, because we picked Milwaukee.

Since that decision back in May, I have focused on supporting my city. Networking-connecting-exploring-discovering. As one of the rare Milwaukee bloggers, I want to help shed light on all the talent and shopping goodness this city has to offer.

In my recent post, seen here, I highlighted a new home decor store that we get to enjoy now!

Today, I am introducing you to Megan of The Busy Bee. Before I go into why she’s great, go to her website now and get a freebie—> https://thebusy.be

Megan is a Milwaukee fun silly business woman who knows what people want. She also understands that a soft tee is critical. Which is what we are wearing here…

And when I mean soft…they.are.soft. She calls them her butter shirts! Her shop is adorable though. I appreciate her efforts to strive and was very honored to be able to work with her. I will let her talent speak for itself below…

If you don’t live in Wisconsin, fear not, she can whip up everything for all states! Looping back to my original statement, Megan also agrees to “Show off the place you call home”.

I hope you made it through your Monday safely….now go buy a comfy shirt and let’s get through the week!

Weekend Wear

Hi all!

Happy Friday! I know I will be busy with all the festivities surrounding MKE Fashion Week.

Last night was day 1 and I actually modeled for a friend….I’m happy to announce that I did not fall on my face lol. I will recap over the weekend for you and showcase my favorite designers!

I’m very excited to see all the talent this year! I appreciate them, I can’t sew for anything. Don’t get me wrong, I can sew when necessary but there’s no way I can make a dress!

Speaking of dresses….

My weekend wear has been dominated by the simplicity of this mixed media dress.

It is from Le Tote, so def sign up for that so you can get a discount on it!

PS. Head over to Target to grab these adorable “cheers” plastic cups that I keep stocked on a regular

I will save the easy dresses for Sunday, because tonight and tomorrow, I get the pleasure of wearing a local boutique’s dresses! Luci Boutique located downtown Mke. 🙂
