Behind the Scenes: An afternoon with Sophie Chang

Hello all! Laura here, the newest member of Nicola's team: her intern! I'm a fashion obsessed writer, comic book artist, thrift store junkie, social justice advocate and... I could not be more excited to add this to the list. Nicola suggested I share my perspective on this crazy world of beauty queens, event production and fashion, so without further ado, here it is!

Today I accompanied Nicola to a meeting with the amazing Sophie Chang, to discuss the upcoming trunk show and grand opening of Sophie's newest shop and collection.

Both of these events are going to be beyond incredible...when great women put their heads together and their respective talents to the table, good things happen. One of the reasons I love working with Nicola is that we share a basic philosophy: do what you're passionate about, work hard to support people and causes that you believe in, and it never hurts to look good doing it. I'm inspired by seeing women build their careers by encouraging and supporting others whose work they believe in. If you're looking for positive influences in the fashion community, look no further.

Stay tuned for all the juicy details of the upcoming events, you really don't want to miss them. For now, mark your calendars for Saturday, August 18th, for the Cool Summer Blowout. We'll be at Sophie Bridal Couture from 5:30-8, so swing by with your friends, have a glass of wine and shop some amazing looks by some of Portland's best local designers. The best part? Marked down prices on Sophie Chang Collection, Stephanie D Couture and Evy Curl jewelry, to name a few. The event is sponsored by the incredible Islands Tanning, and we can always count on them to bring the good times.

Find the event on Facebook, invite your friends, and submit photos of you in your jealousy-inducing new clothes, please, and I'll be there snapping photos as well.

Until then, I'll leave you with my favorite photo from our planning session at Sophie's, because let's be real....planning your outfit is part of the fun. This woman works hard, but looks good doing it, with a little help from the incredible local design community.

<3 Laura
