The EnD Fashion Show



















Last Sunday's event at the Belcourt theater welcomed every member of Nashville's fashion set. Several tables were installed throughout the theater showcasing local and regional designers including Debe Dohrer's jewelry line, "Coquette Designs" by Brooke Shipley, and my personal favorite "Many Will See" by Amanda Urrego. Each designer auctioned a piece from their collection, all proceeds aiding the Belcourt in their quest for new and more comfortable seats. Unfortunately, I was unable to stay long enough to view the fashion show with designers such as Natalie Chanin of Alabama Chanin , Billy Reid of Billy Reid and Carrie and Matt Eddmensun of Imogene + Willie showcasing. My father called me last minute to sing with him for the "Rally Mania Festival" in Franklin...daughters duty ;) However, From what I have heard the show was fabulous, and definitely my loss!! I did however, manage to snap the picture of every stylish person in the crowd ;) Take a peek.


Many thanks to The Belcourt Theater, Rose Mary Gorman and Libby Callaway for their generosity.

Parlour's Pick.

Supper, Song and Cinema @ Imogene + Willie





Imogene + Willie has a good thing going! Not only are their jeans AMAZING! Their parties have serious vibe.
As part of the nD festival, the scene was set with lounge chairs and guests of all ages hanging about. Perhaps the most amazing thing about the evening was the screening of "The WIld One" Marlon Brando had every girl in the crowd drooling...serious babe factor! I know chatting during movies is faux pas, but I had a lovely conversation with the talented Brooke Shipley of Coquette Swimwear! You gotta check out her swimsuit collection yall!

The Beautiful ones.

























I have really wanted to do a post on my favorite models in Nashville for a while now. This city has so many beautiful girls and I want the whole WORLD "wide web" to know!
Part of my job is to scout the most gorgeous girls I can find to shoot my vintage collections. Most of these girls I have worked with, some of them I have not, and I sure hope to. In my opinion every single one of these girls has that special something! I know there are more to be found in our fair city, and i look forward to meeting and working with all of them soon!
