P&B had the fortunate experience of designing accessories for Christine Carmichael of Carmichael Claith clothing. Christine's personality synced perfectly with that of mine and Sarah's. She was easy to work with, incredibly talented and supplied wine when necessary (that's key).

See our Facebook album for images from our segment of the runway (to the incredible tunes of Caroline Smith and the Good Night Sleeps - outfitted immaculately by our pals Calpurnia Peach). Also, check out Staciaann Photography's official Voltage pics on Flickr. We start at bottom right, page 4.
Despite being only mildly verbally harassed by a securiy guard (I had to Sarah....I had to) for forgetting my badge and my mind the entire production went off without a hitch. Word on the street is it's the best one yet, and we agree! The entire production was flawless. We only lost one model to her heels, but after she departed the catwalk (luckily).

On Sunday, Sarah and Angela of I Like You (check out their adorable newly updated website) hosted a trunk show and Anniversary Party (coincidentally sharing their 1st anniversary very close to that of mine and my husband's) with many talented designers to be seen in the back of the store. I had no idea the shop was this big! We met a lot of talented people and caught up with some older acquaintances like Rebecca Yaker (heart all her sock monkey gear....catch her stylings in the latest Kia commercial).

George Moskal (a local clothing designer also featured inVoltage) dropped in and tried on our novelty goggles. Ha!
Sarah and Angela provided some yummy treats for the party guests (including homemade cupcakes, yum!).
Headbands, hair clips and bowties...oh my!
Voltage pieces

We traded this red birdband with Rebecca for two sets of her earrings (I picked up sweet skull earrings with blue maribou feathers and Sarah scored a lifesaver and anchor set).
Stacy Schwartz of Staciaann Photography (official Voltage photographer) snagged this teal bowband.
This girl was adorable. She came back at least 3 times to try on this hat and said "I feel that no one else should have this but me.".

Overall, a crazy...but successful weekend!
