Firefighters and a Fashion Show

Want me to make it even better?

Firefighters IN a Fashion Show.

Check this out.

See, I wasn't lying.

This weekend Bloomingdale's will be hosting the Firefighter Fashion Show and Shopping Fundraiser in support of Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) Glass Slipper Guild.  Firefighters strutting down a runway, champagne, AnQi, and 10% of your purchases being donated to CHOC.  Does it get any better than that?

I have a number of friends involved in the Glass Slipper Guild (a super motivated friend actually took on being the President...crazy lady!) and I always love to support their events because I truly believe in the cause.  I feel very fortunate that I have yet to need any services from CHOC for my children but I could tell you a number of stories of friends who's children are alive and healthy thanks to the incredible staff of Doctors and Nurses at CHOC.  No matter where you are, I am sure you understand the importance of supporting a children's hospital.

Sooo, here are a few things if you are interested in attending.  First, the RSVP deadline has been extended an additional day so I could share this with all of you (when your friend is the President, you have some leverage).  

Second, if you are unable to attend the Fashion Show, that is okay because you can shop all weekend and have your purchases count!  Perfect excuse to support a cause and perhaps grab those boots you forgot to pick up on Fashion's Night Out (not speaking for myself at all....)!

And finally, there will definitely be a follow up post on the event because I understand that many of you are not in Orange County and I would not want to deprive you from seeing Firefighters walking a runway.

I hope to see you there!

And so the Christmas shopping begins...

Happy Black Friday everyone!  What a combination Thanksgiving and Black Friday are.  It begins with a day to completely gorge our stomachs, followed by a day to completely purge our wallets.  Black Friday is also a reminder that I better actually start Christmas shopping.

Since I have not purchased ANYTHING for my children, nieces or nephews, imagine how happy I was to hear that Neige Clothing was having a sample sale next Friday and Saturday, December 2nd and 3rd. If you have not visited their site, here is just a piece of some of their fabulous clothing for little ones.

Sophisticated clothing for children.  RIGHT UP MY ALLEY.  Not only that, but a portion of the sales will be donated to The Children's Hospital of Orange County. If you live in Orange County, you are well aware of all the wonderful things CHOC does and most likely know at least one child who has benefited from their care.  Checking gifts off the list AND giving back to an amazing organization?  The only question is, why would you not go?  

Click here for all the details (including times and location) on this event and I hope to see you there!

In addition to the sample sale, for each $100 donated to CHOC Children's, you will be entered to win the following:

* Participation for your child to model in the Neige Spring 2012 Collection photo shoot.  Girls 6m-12y and boys 6m-8y.  Siblings accepted.

* Models will enjoy the full photo shoot experience including fittings, styling, hair and makeup.  Photo shoot will take place in Orange County, CA in February 2012.

* A disk of high resolution photo shoot images for personal printing and portfolio use.

* One Neige outfit

Also, all entrants will receive a full year of 20% off discount code valid through December 31, 2012 for use on the Neige clothing website.

Not in Orange County?  Not a problem!  You can shop their incredible Fall sale on the Neige Clothing website!  

Happy Shopping!
