Fem, Fab, Fun

Connecticut's favorite ladies night out returns with the one year anniversary of VAz! 

VAz began last year when Vanessa Jennings and Alana La Fleur decided to organize an evening to bring together some of the areas best businesses and Connecticut's savviest ladies. 

VAz has since developed into a fantastic evening for women. It started with VAz: Feminine, Fabulous, Fun and developed into VAz: Glamour, VAz: Home, VAz: For the Little Ladies, etc. It has even included celebrity appearances from the likes of Ramona Singer of the Real Housewives of New York and super celebrity stylist Johnny Lavoy.

I've had the pleasure of showing several De Melis Atelier collections with VAz over the past year. One thing I never knew though was how much VAz has given back. Each event has been partnered with organizations such as United Way, Food Share, etc. That's not all though, VAz  continues it's giving by partnering with the Susan G Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Because of this, Lord & Taylor generously donated bras for business to decorate which will be displayed throughout the venue. Not only did I decorate one for De Melis Atelier, but also was honored when asked to decorate the bra to represent VAz.
