NASCAR and FASHION Collide | Catwalk for A Cause
Fashion is a fast-paced industry, and so is NASCAR! On May 14th, both of these industries joined together to create Catwalk for A Cause!
The 5th Annual Catwalk for A Cause, was started by NASCAR driver Martin Truex Jr. and girlfriend Sherry Pollex to sponsor patients battling cancer at the Levine Children’s Hospital in Charlotte, NC. Since its inception, the event has grown from a mere 75 attendees to 650!! Dale Earnhardt Jr., Danica Patrick and several other NASCAR drivers were also in attendance to support the cause.
Best Part! – Nine children from the hospital were able to walk alongside models during the fashion show; rocking the latest in summer style!
“It’s a day when they don’t have to worry about being sick,” Truex said. “They get to come out and they’re the stars of the show. They can forget about their treatments and all the stuff they’re going through and just have a good day that’s all about them.” [read more]
Vroom, Vroom – Ready to check out some show pics? Here you go! –
The Martin Truex Jr. Foundation has touched the lives of thousands of children stricken by illness, poverty or neglect. They are committed to working collaboratively with organizations and individuals to help improve lives, inspire smiles and encourage dreams…one child at a time.
FASHION and NASCAR…that’s one collision I could definitely see again! 😉

Spring Bridal Show | Charleston Fashion Week
One of the most exciting nights at Charleston Fashion Week was the Spring Bridal Show! The room smelled like a bouquet of flowers, hors d’oeuvres sizzled on the grill, and the sight of cupcake towers made you quickly reconsider the diet you were on! Floating down the runway like small clouds, featured and emerging designers showed some of their season’s best in bridal gowns.
A-line and mermaid silhouettes seemed to be most prevalent that night, with the exception of a few over-sized princess dresses. The total outlook of the gowns were more soft and delicate, which appealed to the hot-weathered southern audience.
The trend forward looks of the night were the tw0-pieced dresses. This was definitely a look for the young (in shape) girl who is non-traditional and doesn’t mind baring a little skin! You can find these styles featured in Whitney Deal, White Boutique, and Lula Kate’s collections.
Below are some of my favorite looks from each designer and boutique:
Featured Designer – MARK INGRAM
Designer – WHITNEY DEAL
Boutique – WHITE
Boutique – Modern Trousseau
Designer – Lula Kate
Boutique – Gown Boutique of Charleston
Emerging Designer Winner – Kendra Barnes
Which designer is your favorite?
