“Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back.

And if you can find someone to love the you YOU love, well, that’s just fabulous.” -Carrie Bradshaw

Wearing some fantastic shades from House of Adrene in Castleberry Hill.

Last week, I hosted Fashionair with fashion stylist OLORI SWANK and URBAN SUITE ENT at the fantastic boutique, HOUSE OF ADRENE. Miss Swank provided guests with styling tips while boutique owner Adrene Ashford entertained guests and customers. The boutique is now in a new, larger location (formerly Noir) in Castleberry Hill. From accessories to rompers and dresses, it was easy for customers to empty their pockets that evening. They’ve got some strong silhouettes and colorful frocks, perfect for the summer! With a price point between $20 to $200 and a great location, House of Adrene is sure to be the go to spot for great pieces. (Another plus: They’ve got menswear, too!) See more pics from the event and how I changed my outfit 4 times without changing my dress. (more…)
