Calling ALL parent’s,
shopaholic’s, fashionista’s, bargain hunter’s- HECK CALLLINNGG ERRBUDDY…
There are always
events I attend that totally pull at my heartstrings, and in this case there
was a time I was fighting back tears.
Being a Mum myself
(to two very healthy girls, thankfully) I couldn’t imagine the pain and torture
a family would have to go through having a less then healthy little one let
alone one with a life threatening illness.
Very Special Kids support
families caring for children with life-threatening conditions. Very Special Kids is Victoria’s only children’s
hospice and supports over 900 Victorian families – free of charge. So in
order to keep the hospice on it’s feet they need to find ways to raise
$7million dollars each year, which is massive. But if you ask me, if everyone
gives a little it will add to a lot at the end of the day.
Sadly, many of the children
supported by Very Special Kids will
not reach adulthood. For me this one sentence chills me to my absolute core, as
I could never ever imagine having to bury my child, they are meant to bury me.
And I cannot even imagine the pain and suffering anyone has to go through
knowing that their little one might not wake up tomorrow.
Last night I was invited to
VIP Fashion bloggers night hosted by Very Special Kids, previewing all that
will be available at the Fashion Sale.
All the clothing supplied for
the VSK Fashion Sale has been donated from top Australian and European brands
will be on sale at up to 90% off the retail price. I got to see first hand some of the pieces
from Portmans, Rider, Lee, Dotti and a whole lot more that I wish lived in my wardrobe.
I was absolutely dumbfounded at just how small the price tags are; you WILL
definitely snatch up a bargain or many bargains.
Jess Dempsey (www.whatwouldkarldo.com) a few
years back put her hand up to become the Fashion Sale ambassador as she has a
huge presence in the fashion industry as well as the blogging world. Being a
Mum herself she makes for the perfect ambassador.
On the night we were able to
change into pieces and have fun with styling- big thumbs up to Jess Dempsey for
helping style me up. Here are some of the ensembles I came up with, pretty
proud with them if I do say so myself.
I will be at the sale, and
cannot wait to snatch up some great buys and much needed new additions to my wardrobe
