Fall into Fashion 2010






Fall into Fashion 2010 at Fairfax Corner

Our fashion show this past Saturday was a huge success! Of course we have a few people to thank for this:

Lindsey w/ Peterson Corp. who is the Marketing Manager for Fairfax Corner...she was great to work with.

Sue from Cupcakes Actually for sponsoring the event! Her Cosmopolitan Cupcakes are still available for the rest of this week so make sure you stop in.

Vanessa and Markette...the ladies did a fabulous job! It's always a pleasure to work with both of them.

The stores that participated and showcased their best Fall outfits: Aerosoles, White House Black Market, Lucy, Chico's, and Chic Envy...they all had some beautiful clothes that were a huge hit!

The vendors...we felt like we made some new friends as they were all very friendly and outgoing.

Pollock, the band! They did an awesome job at playing family friendly music and were requested by many guests that were there.

DJ Ill Phil...he did a great job and DJ'ing during the show and playing music afterwards.

Distinct Concepts for their outstanding dedicated service to providing us with graphic design work for this event.

And last but not least....both of our photographers Mike Stog who was our main photographer and whose work you can see on this blog as well as our Facebook page and Gena whose work is also featured here and our FB page.

A big Thank you to everyone who helped to make this event a huge success! We are looking forward to many more events at Fairfax Corner. We can only hope that we have the same beautiful weather that we had this past Saturday.

Please visit our website for our upcoming events...ladies, we have one especially for you! :)

The Park





So Anita and I had the pleasure of partying with Vanessa and Markette of DC on Heels at the Park on 14 in DC!! Does the Park sound familiar?? Well, it has been featured on The Real Housewives of DC.

While we didn't see any of the Housewives, we did meet a bunch of amazing people who are business owners and entrepreneurs like ourselves. And the ambiance....well let's just say that it was a first class Restaurant and Hot Spot! Living so close to DC, I take it for granted and never really get out there (mainly because the traffic scares me) but it truly is an awesome place to hang out! I think I'll catch a ride with someone and head out there more often! :)

Enjoy some of the pictures from the evening...

I realized....

....that I never made the official announcement.....

I have a partner!! :D

Anita Triggs joined me about a month or so ago and is officially the "other half" of Bella Mia Weddings and Events!! And I couldn't be happier!!

I realized at the beginning of the summer that I would need/want a partner but I didn't know where to turn to because they say never mix business with friends or family....so where does that leave me?? Well, turning to online marketing places of course! Sort of like the 'personals' of business! Of course I was nervous because I didn't know where I would end up but luckily I only met nice people. Anita and I met a little later in the process but I loved her from the beginning!!
As soon as we get our website re-branded you will be able to read all about her! Of course, if you book us for an event or a party you will be able to experience her infectious zest for life, joyful personality, and bright shining smile for yourself! :0)
