Thinking today of my darling friend and local jewelry maven, Beth Church. Sending love to this beautiful and talented woman. xoxo

Here’s a little something I tried on this weekend at her jewelry studio…I LOVE THIS!

Have you been yet? To Local Talent in Old Town Scottsdale where owner Shannon McRae has created a 3,000 square foot upscale, chic haven for local designers and artisans to showcase their fashion and art for women, men, child and home?!

The colorful boutique is a new home for some of my favorite designers including Angela Johnson, Amelia Walsh, Rebecca Turley, Stitch Connect, Femme Athletic and more. In fact, you Fashion Phoenix fans hopefully remember the gorgeous green satin dress recently in the window by Amelia Walsh that I wore in my Holiday photo shoot. Love it!

And during my recent visit with Shannon and tour of the boutique, I fell in love with more local designers including Bitchin’ Beads and Alma Primero, to name a couple. I loved this two-tone satin dress by Alma Primero.

Check out the boutique and celebrate Independence Day tomorrow for a Wear, Eat & Drink, Red White & Blue from 5-9 pm, Thursday, July 1st!

I LOVED last week’s menswear show at W Scottsdale with clothing provided by San Francisco based, Alley. Loved the details, the relaxed, urban vibe and personal touches. Enjoy the pics. Happy Tuesday!

Love the gingham detail.

Adorable

Awesome to see the designer as well.
