glam4good--fashion and style that matter

GLAM4GOOD 
STYLE THAT MATTERS

Fashion is such a superficial topic but when you GLAM4GOOD it isn't. This past Friday I had the amazing oppurtunity to glam4good at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Glam4good is a non-profit orginazation that gives "life changing makeovers, dramatic giveaways and transformative fashion adventures to everyday heros." Founded by the fashion and style expert Mary Alice Stephenson, glam4good has changed the lives of many women, men and children, living in poverty, through fashion. With the help of Dior Beauty, Ted Gibson Hair, P.S.-I Made This and GLAM4GOOD we set forth to help one hundred at risk teenagers express themselves and get their punk on--inspired by the Costume Institute's Punk Fashion exhibit on display at the MET. It was amazing to see so many talented kids shine with creativity. Every single teenager that walked through the door was full of joy. Making these kids feel just as important as any other was quite inspiring.
Thank you so much to the glam4good team for letting me glam4good!

laguna pottery


#2 Summertime Activity--Pottery!
Yesterday I spent the day in Laguna Beach, CA with my sister and some friends. Yes, the beach is spectacular--where we spent most of the day--but as the water started to creep up on us we thought it was time to explore the wonderful town. For the whole month of July, Laguna celebrates the Sawdust Festival, a festival in which everything that is sold has to be handmade. With my sisters amazing art talent and my interest, we ran straight to the pottery booth. As we were celebrating our dads birthday a few days before, my sister and I decided that it would be a great idea to make him some handmade pottery to go with his cute mug we had just gotten for him. Anyways, it was a super fun "artsy" activity that I totally encourage you all to try!

More to come! Hope everyone is enjoying summer!

heart full of polaroids

 #1 Summertime Activity--DIY something on your walls!
With help from my friends, I photographed a handful of Polaroids (using my FujiFilm Instant Mini Camera ) from classes, parties and dinners that happened this year. I didn't want to just put them in a photo book, so I decided to paste them on my wall... Here's the finished heart! Happy Summer!!!
More (summertime activities) to come...
