Tonight The Forum hosts Blu Magazine’s Spring Fashion show. The invite boasts of designers from Charlotte, Atlanta and Charleston. I tried to e-mail someone to get more details, but to no avail. But I do know that local designer Emily Morgen will be featuring her fab feminine line. Go and support fashion! It’s more than something pretty to look at!

Oh yeah … and entertainment from Tommie Sunshine.

Sunday seems like such a great day to have a tea party, don’t you think?

Charlotte’s own David French will unveil his latest piece “Alice in Wonderland.” In addition, Karen Smith will be showing her metal work, with other jewelry displays from DRagan Creates and Tia T.

Food will be provided by Andrew King, partner at Hotel Charlotte and high Cotton Catering.

A portion of the sales will benefit the Make A Wish Foundation.

You can also check out Fox News Rising’s “Wilson’s World” on Thursday, as Green With Envy’s event will be highlighted then.

On Saturday, March 6, fashion designer Lore Emelio will premiere her spring collection featuring women’s apparel, women’s hats and men’s ties and bow ties at her “Garden Party” fashion show. Bow ties? You gotta love it. Emelio has been all over the world, working for several highly esteemed fashion houses including Ralph Lauren and Best & Co and where does she say her inspiration comes from in planning this event? From a party she attended in Statesville. Wow.

From the Facebook invite:

Garden Party marks the official launch of the luxury line, “Lore Emelio”, which is based on tenants of collaborative interplay as a platform for engaging Charlotte’s dynamic community. Ms. Emelio is committed to cultivating a center for innovative expression. The March event will embody the concept for spring, Garden Party, inviting guests to experience an atmosphere of ethereal majesty and unorthodox whimsy.

For more information about Emelio and the “Garden Party,” visit her web site, www.LoreEmelio.com.
