Amber's {blog event} Notebook: Charity Fashion Show

Last Year I attended The Charity Fashion Show and had a blast, so this year I was more then honored to be invited as part of the press covering the event. One thing I was amazed by was how much the show had grown in a year. Go Thom! Relocating the show from Palo Alto to San Francisco was an excellent move - I could feel the big city difference as I checked in. Everything from the super long runway, to the model's major hair volume seemed bigger and better then last year's event - and I have to say, being able to go back stage was super cool!

It was such an honor to be able to chat with the models and meet with some of designers that were featured in the show. This year the Charity Fashion Show added so many new designers that I was super excited about. Up-and-comers like the Frock Los Angeles, KittenHawk, and Spainsh Moss by Suzanne Carafano presented new and fresh looks. Meanwhile designers like Antik Batik, Tracey Reese and Winter Kate added a star excitement to the show. But I was most excited about guest model Krystal Simpson from What is Reality Anyway, who I was fortunate enough to chat with. Krystal was unbelievably down to earth and incredibly sweet. I was intimated to approach her but I knew I would regret it if I didn't - kind of like how I wish I snagged her limited addition Coach purse when it was available! I also got to met some of my readers and had ample time to catch up with Anh from 9 to 5 chic - LOVE HER!
Krystal rocked it.
I really want to go on the dark side like she did. And um, I loved her Ray Ban Outdoors-man Aviators.

The Charity Fashion Show and their sponsors went ABOVE and beyond to benefit the Princess project, an organization providing high schoolers in need of prom gowns and accessories.
Big thank you to the Charity Fashion Show Director and Organizer Thom Scher and all sponsors of the event. It was an amazing night, and I can't wait for next year!
