You're Invited to a Breakfast at Tiffany's Event for One Hope United

This Saturday we are having our annual Breakfast at Tiffany's Event for One Hope United's Go Blue Campaign.

  
Le Thrift Consignment decided on using the Breakfast at Tiffany's theme because of the adoration of Audrey Hepburn and how she was such a big philanthropist before it was "trendy" to help others in Hollywood. Also, the "Tiffany blue" ties in with the theme of April and National Child Abuse Awareness Month.

The color blue represents a broken hearted Grandmother who in 1989 had found her Grandson beaten to death. She dedicated April as National Child Abuse month and tied a blue ribbon to the antenna of her vehicle to make others aware of child abuse in her community. That created a movement across the nation and now others wear a blue ribbon in April in memory of children who had lost their lives to child abuse.

Since its inception over 100 years ago, One Hope United has had a mission to provide children safe and loving homes on a local scale. Whether it be community-based, family support systems, placement into foster care homes, therapeutic residential facilities or early learning and child development centers. This organization makes a difference in these children's lives. Some of the other actions that One Hope United does is find donors to fulfill children's wishes for gifts every Christmas or supply them with backpacks filled with school supplies for back to school. If you are interested in finding out more on how to get involved, visit their site at www.goblueforohu.org.

A percentage of sales from the Breakfast at Tiffany's event will be donated to One Hope United. Stop by to have a complimentary manicure and Mimosas, plus much more! No RSVP is necessary.

Saks Fifth Avenue presents Oscar de la Renta at the MCA for a Better Chicago

Peter Copping for Oscar de La Renta Fashion Show at the MCA Chicago

Monday, April 13th a crowd of well-heeled women dressed to the nines gathered at the MCA Chicago for a private cocktail reception and an Oscar de la Renta fashion show to benefit A Better Chicago. The event was hosted by Nora Daley, Kathleen Henson and Trishia Rooney and Margie Stineman and was presented by Saks Fifth Avenue.

It was quite the show with the new line by Creative Director, Peter Copping for Oscar de la Renta. His previous stint was for Nina Ricci and before that he worked under Marc Jacobs at Louis Vuitton. Oscar de la Renta trusted his label and 50 years of his extensive career, at age 82 to Peter Copping. Copping very much shares the same aesthetic as Oscar de la Renta, dressing women as "women" in feminine, chic but also a hint of classic and traditional in his designs.

It was exciting to see some of the first work by Peter Copping starting recently in February 2015 for de la Renta. His collection is a dreamy mash up of vintage inspired, lady-like style style with a trendy chic edge. Rich, jewel colors were repeated with lovely florals and rich textured fabrics. After viewing Copping's collection, I wanted every piece that sauntered down the runway and will be sure on the hunt for some of his feminine statement pieces.
