Saturday. October 18th, 2014. The Columbus Anthenaum.

The day that's been in the making since LAST October. As Style Director, the day that is a mix of nerves, anticipation and excitement.....And it was all worth it! With Project Runway's Althea Harper as the headliner and 10 exceptionally talented local designers all showing back to back, it was one phenomenal night. 

Snaps from the night:

Tuesday was our final designer fitting in prep for this year's CMH Fashion Week. 

Over 70 models, countless photographers and videographers and my style team descended upon The Bluestone for what would be the final look through before the big events happening October 12-18.

Outtakes of the fun!

Finally found the right accessories to wear with this fab necklace I bought many years ago at a thrift shop. In this case, the clothes are the accessories. The necklace deserves to be a statement on

This week in blogging has turned into a week of CMH Fashion Week. I'm not complaining. The show was my baby, and with the help of some fabulous people, my vision came to life. Thank you to all the designers, models, volunteers, the CMHFW board, this years title sponsor Worthington Jewelers, Charles Penzone Salons and the many others that made this show happen! xoxo to all!

I'm unplugging for a week of relaxation as I've been going hard for months! So until the 28th, enjoy

Yesterday we wrapped day 2 of the CMH Fashion Week Program Photo Shoot. I had the most fun I've had styling a shoot with this one. The team from Charles Penzone Salons rocked the looks and photographer Scott Cunningham, one of the best. We had some tight competition for the cover with contender #1, model Fiona Bryne, above and a beyond gorgeous Rachel Nimke (coming up). Stay tuned!

This past Saturday, at The Bluestone, was CMH Fashion Week's first Designer Fitting for the 2013 season. As Style Director for the organization, it was quite amazing to see the designers visions come to life. I'm super excited about this season as I truly believe this is one of the best groups of designers we've ever had. From the 'emerging' designers to the established ones, all are amazing if I may say so myself.

Yours truly and designer Ray Marsh. Get ready for the best punk chic you've seen!
