On Saturday, Emily and I had the pleasure of attending the 20th annual Women Helping Women Luncheon and Fashion Show on behalf of Chair, Shannon Lazovski of The Lazov Agency and Glamorous Moms, to benefit Grace Centers of Hope. Since 1988, this event has been supporting thousands of women looking for food, shelter, and a renewed sense of hope. Held at the stunning Royal Park Hotel in downtown Rochester, it included a silent auction of tables upon tables of gorgeous gift baskets, a lovely lunch spread, speeches by those involved in Grace Centers of Hope, and a spring fashion show.

We were so delighted to run into our blogger friends, Grace Liang of Color and Grace, Becky Fixel of Week99r, and Kelly of Kelly's Reality. It was absolutely wonderful catching up with them, and hearing of their recent blogging ventures. We then sat down at table adorned with floral arrangements, candles, crisp salads, and colorful desserts. We heard many firsthand testimonials from graduates, residents, and families of Grace Centers. Their stories tugged at our heartstrings, and left us teary-eyed and inspired.

The fashion show was put on my none other than the local queen of fashion, RGA Model Management's Cheryl Hall Lindsay. With everything from the international fashions of Max Mara, LK Bennett, Lilly Pulitzer, and Halston, to local designers Rachelle Willnus of Derby Hats By Rachelle, Christiane La Rue, and Katerina Bocci. Not only did professional models walk the runway, but women from Grace Centers of Hope rocked the runway as well, looking gorgeous thanks to the artistry provided by Luigi Bruni Salon.

Being surrounded by beautiful women, fashions, and dessert is how we like to spend our Saturday afternoons ;)

We are ever so thankful we were able to attend such a wonderful event, for such an important cause.
Inspiring us all to be Women Helping Women!
