Last week I had a wonderful opportunity to partner with Saks Fifth Avenue for a special event, featuring Cleveland’s lifestyle and beauty blogger, Kimberly Morris of Modern Musings.

The event featured a Max Mara trunk show, a Hueb trunk show, the debut of their new Dior boutique, and the House of Creed fragrance mimosa bar. So many amazing things! I loved seeing the clothing in the fashion show, some were pieces I’ve been inspired by and have sketched on my own for fun!  I was stationed in the designer department making sketches of their guests while they enjoyed the party. I got to meet some amazing fashion-loving women at this fun event! The new Stylist Director, MaryAnn Zegarac was a delightful host.
