IN STYLE Palo Alto Success!

What a day! After months of planning, preparations, negotiations, recruiting, rehearsing, hours and hours of conference calls, meetings, fittings, more rehearsing… it all led up to today. Our al fresco community fashion show in Lytton Plaza which we call IN STYLE Palo Alto! This is our second year and second attempt at IN STYLE Palo Alto so many things did come together more quickly and easily. However, this year, I’m leading the charge instead of being one of several boutique owners who co-organized the event last year.

I managed to strike a partnership this year with the Palo Alto Festival of the Arts which had many pros and cons. On the plus side, I didn’t have to worry about any of the marketing or promoting of the event. On the minus side, we didn’t get the most desirable location and I had to manage through many layers of politics. In the end, everything came together wonderfully! My team of gorgeous volunteer models were flawless and beautiful in addition to being incredibly kind and generous with their time and their willingness to help pull it all together. The DJs were amazing… the calm in the eye of the storm of the day! They were so well prepared and so helpful and even shot some amazing pictures of the show to share!
