I learned about Sonya Leathers after she commented on the wall of The Red Pump Project’s Facebook page. While reading her words of support, I couldn’t help but notice her profile picture. It was a sketch of the beautiful gown below. ANYTIME someone combines style with philanthropy and awareness, I’m all in. And, this time was no different. I reached out the Sonya and told her that I had to talk about her and her [...]

NYC’s Fashion Week is rapidly approaching, and from what I hear it is a nonstop show. There are the shows, the parties, the shows, and more parties…Am I missing anything? Yeah, I didn’t think so! Well, for my NYC ladies who are looking for something chic and charitable to add to the calendar, you might want to attend the MCF Fashion Week After Party hosted by MacDella Cooper and her foundation.

I think it’ll help me clear a lot of [...]

Madison and Friends, Chicago’s premier children’s boutique, and The Denim Lounge are celebrating their 12th anniversary at the Oak Street location (43 East Oak Street) with the Chicago Cubs! There will be a meet-and-greet with players from 4:30-6:30p and they will sign autographs to raise funds for Project 3000.

I’m always looking for different ways to donate my time and money for programs, research, etc. So, imagine my delight when I came across these cute “We ♥ To Erase MS” orange tees (I ordered mine last week)!           These tees were designed by Tommy Hilfiger, a long-time supporter of MS research, and 100% of the proceeds [...]
