The event was also to support and bring awareness to the 
Children Brain Tumor Foundation

Recently, Richie and Kathy Wakile's daughter,  Victoria, was diagnosed with a second brain tumor that required surgery.  Their entire family continues to be an advocate on behalf of brain tumor patients across the United States. We are certainly happy to see Victoria recovering so nicely.

Blogger's Holiday Soiree

Star Dog recently had to the opportunity to attend and speak at the Blogger Holdiay Soiree hosted by the lovely Lillie Morales of Jersey Fashionista and beautiful Dana Prigge of Daily Fashionista

                                   

 It was a fun filled night of networking for local bloggers and businesses.  The room was filed with lots of laughs, music by Ninety-Three Entertainment, complimentary head shots by Gomez-Photography, swags and giveaways.

Listening to bloggers speak of how they began, how they find their inspiration and what keeps them going was eye opening. I loved hearing how fellow bloggers got their start and why they love what they do.  The dedication and the love of blogging left the guests felling inspired.

The highlight of the event for me, however, was being asked to speak.  I was a  little nervous in front so many people who express themselves so elegantly for a living.  But Once I started talking about all Star Dog accomplished in  2013, it was easy.  The attentiveness and kindness of the ladies put me at ease immediately! 

It was really a great opportunity for Star Dog to be amongst so many talented people who love what they do.  We made new friends, new contacts and picked up a few blogging tips.

One of the most important things I learned that  evening  is the value of establishing relationships.  It is wonderful when women come together to build each other up and work together to help each other succeed.  Creating strong relationships between bloggers and businesses makes us all better.  Everyone was super sweet, kind and uplifiting. 

Attending this event was a great way to close to 2013.  I am so appreciative  on what an incredible year this has been, how many new friends Star Dog has made, and about the energy we have for 2014!

Friends, castmates and fans were all in attendance to show their support for such young, spectacular talent. 

VNova even made an appearance in a Star Dog T-shirt!

Kalyn looked beautiful in an original vintage style Dress Designed by Jazmin Brown

Fashion Bloggers, Cara Zamorski, Dana Prigge and Yessenia Ramos covered the buzz of the evening. Tv Personality Derek Zagami from The Derek Z. Show interviewed the guests.  Celebrity photographer Lora Warnick and Stephanie Ferrante were also there capturing glorious moments of this event. 

All the models were treated to a complimentary spray tan from Bella Organici. They looked amazing, as if they just stepped in from the beach

What impressed me most about Kalyns colorful, trendy swimsuits designs was that there was something for everyone. If you like retro or modern,  low cut or high waisted, there is something for you.

Kalyn impressively hand designs each piece, so there is something in her collection to flatter any body shape or size.

Being the granddaughter of 60's cocktail dress designer, Dorothy Giandolfi Litzan, the vintage style suits were my favorite and brought back feeling of nastalgia.  These designs are timeless and won't go out of style.

No need to worry that summer is quickly coming to an end with this collection, you can stock up for next year or purchase for that mid-winter tropical getaway.  You will be happy you did.
