My Super Fashionable Weekend

This weekend was super-busy and super-fashionable. I had the good fortune of attending a charity brunch and fashion show “Shades of Pink” hosted by the Employers Consultative Association in aid of the Cancer Society of Trinidad and Tobago. To find out more about them you can visit them here.

The event was great! I was introduced to two new designers Sharon Christopher and Petra Moore of Emphasis Clothing, and met my new accessories lady You-Nique (if you like gorgeous, unique jewellery – you must visit her Facebook page!)

My earrings from You-Nique. I fell in love with them on sight!

I have been to many (many, many, MANY) charity dinners and they are all the same – a bunch of people glammed up, eating an expensive dinner, networking and making small talk. Which is fine - as networking is how many of us get business (especially poor cleaning ladies like me).

But what I loved most about this event was the intimacy that could be felt. Because the event started just before lunch, couples were able to attend with their children and I saw entire families attending. As a mother of four, I found the setting relaxed and friendly. If the ECA wanted to show a softer, more caring side they succeeded with me.

I look forward to more events like that. Besides, I always look forward to events where I can wear slippers and sandals rather than heels!
