The Ultimate Ladies Night!

Tonight was the highly anticipated CRAVE Summer Dreams Party at Teatro ZinZanni and it was completely sold out! (Success!) When Youa and I arrived, there was a long line of fashionably dressed women waiting to get in to see what the evening had in store. (Wish I had taken a picture, sorry!)

Melody Biringer, the genius behind CRAVE, has made quite a name for herself and the CRAVE events. They are never a let down and you know that there will be some of the hottest vendors, amazing entertainment, spa treatments by Derby Salon, delicious food (Built Burger was there! LOVE them!) and creative cocktails to satisfy any pallet.

Once in, we mingled around checking out the vendors, said our hellos to friends, sampled cupcakes (it's a hard job but someone has to do it), checked out the racks of adorable dresses from My Orchid (formerly known as Laura Victoria) and basically tried to just take it all in so we could share with you exactly how much fun it was.

Throughout the evening there were dance performances, fashion shows and live music. Something worth mentioning, the hottie firemen (and women) were in the middle of the big top signing their calendars. I am a fan, there, I admitted it.

I have never been to Teatro ZinZanni but it is by far the coolest venue I've been to in quite sometime. (Mental note: check out a performance ASAP! Especially while they are doing the Luly Yang fashion showcase!)

~Thank you Melody for the opportunity to participate in this amazing event. As always, looking forward to the next CRAVE event.~

SATC & the CRAVE Market

Today was finally the day I got to go see Sex and the City. I won't give you any spoilers because that's not cool... I will say though that I loved the movie. I laughed, I cried and I laughed some more. The outfits were amazing, the shoes, the accessories - I loved it all. Way to go Patricia Field!! I wish I had half the clothing budget she had!! (Dear Santa, please send me my own stylist along with fashion budget for Christmas. Amen & thank you, Tarah)

If you haven't seen it yet, I urge you to check it out. If you were a fan of the show then I think you will be pleased with the movie! (I wish I was getting paid for that plug!)

After the movie I met Dawn at the Seattle Center to check out the CRAVE Market. There were tons of local businesses there promoting fitness, massage, chocolate, skin care, etc.

Local boutiques and designers had tables selling their wares at sample sale prices. I picked up two cute dresses from Horseshoe in Fremont and an amazing leather handbag from Kimberly at Clutch. Then we mosied over to Dry Soda for my favorite flavor, Lavender. Sustainable Style Foundation was there as well so we chatted with Zanetha to get the low down on what they do and how we could get involved.

All in all, I think Melody put together a great event. I love the sample sale idea and getting all those boutiques together in one place. You really can find something you need when you have that many options.

From all the designers and boutiques I spoke with, it sounded like it was a great venue for them and they did really well. I'm sure Melody will be doing the event again, so make sure to sign up and be apart of the next one!!
