I have been a member of the Providence Lady Project since 2012. The PVD Lady Project connects, inspires and showcases awesome women doing amazing things in Providence through membership, events and community engagement. I was very excited when the asked me to be on the other side of the camera for their 2014 Holiday Guide.

It was amazing to work with the talented Fashion Photographer Brittany Taylor and stylist Olivia Rodrigues. Our Day started with Ali Lamazzo Make up Studio with Shelby Lampert doing my hair.

We moved to our Downtown location and had many laughs with my fellow first time fashion models Kayla Covert, Patsy Culp, and Rosalie Berrios.   It was an amazing experience to connect with other like minded ladies.

2014 Roaring Twenties Lawn Party at Castle Hill on The Crane Estate

Last month we had the pleasure of attending 2014  Roaring Twenties Lawn Party at Castle Hill on The Crane Estate.

The Roaring Twenties Lawn Party is an event presented by Boston Swing Central and The Greater Boston Vintage Society.
  A festival, an experience and was the event of the Summer! The event had: Hot Jazz from Brooklyn's own, Baby Soda Jazz Band, a vintage fair with clothing dealers and a very fine haberdasher, swing and charleston dance lessons and performances, lawn games (croquet & bocce ball), picnicking and antique cars. And general frolicking in the sun.

The Lawn Party harkens back to the Jazz Age, the era in which the Crane Estate mansion at Castle Hill was built. The event will took place on the beautiful Grand Allee, a half-mile long landscaped lawn lined with statuary and hedgerows. It was the perfect setting for an idyllic Sunday afternoon.


I was vending promoting the studios. I had lovely neighbors Gypsy Vintage and Tangerine Boutique.

Such and amazing event and met many new friends. To view more photos from this event check out our Facebook page.

 

Can't wait until Next Year!

MayMac Design Studios

MayMac creates pinup lingerie, corsets, & burlesque inspired costumes to celebrate women of all shapes and sizes. The company was founded on the idea that curves are power, color is key, and that there is no such thing as too much glitter. Designer Katey Cusack began MayMac in honor of her grandmother Eunice May Macfadden, who always dreamed of being a designer and would name her line after herself. The inspiration behind the designs have always been femininity, glitter, eye catching colors, and unnatural waist lines. MayMac caters to a variety of sizes, believing that every woman should always feel her most confident! MayMac will strap you into the most stunning costume or the most comfortable, yet effective shape wear you have ever worn! Love yourself, treat yourself, learn about MayMac!
