I found this little trinket over the Thanksgiving weekend. When it caught my eye, I heard Mariah Carey singing in that falsetto whisper only she can do, “Spread your wings and prepare to fly…for you have become…a butterfly.”
Had to have it!

Singleton Moms
For sharing…and shopping!
Fashion Phoenix started off this holiday season today by shopping for Singleton Moms – a local organization helping single mommies coping with cancer. We teamed up with the kind folks at Dillard’s to help find the mommies fun party dresses for their annual holiday fundraising gala this weekend.
Megan shopping the racks of fabulous party dresses at Dillard's
My darling assistant, Megan, and I got to shop Dillard’s Scottsdale Fashion Square to seek out our favorite dresses for the ladies. Then hosted a little “fitting” party at Blufish Design Studio where we got to play dress up, have a little wine and indulge in fresh baked cookies!
The fitting after party
Looking forward to seeing the ladies this weekend at the gala in their dresses provided by Dillard’s and getting all dolled up with the girls from Kensington Makeup!
Thank you so much to Dillard’s and Blufish Design! Have a great Monday! xo
