SHE shut it down...literally! In October SHE had the honor of working with custom clothier, David Alan Clothing, + some of the best + most talented friendors (vendors) to shut down Grandview Avenue on Mt. Washington - one of the premier streets in the city of Pittsburgh with the most stunning view - to produce a charitable celebrity fashion show coined “Meet Me At The Top”. It was an evening for the books! Proceeds benefited UPMC Children’s Hospital and Cuddles for Kids + showcased a star-studded lineup for the catwalk who featured brand new custom suits. There was no shortage of photo opps, details amazing fashion + beautiful people — all with the city skyline as the backdrop. What an amazing event to be apart of!

Pittsburgh Event Planner | Wagcademy

{SHE} absolutely loves when so many amazing + strong women come together to network + discuss the importance of female collaboration + empowerment. The 1st ever WAGcademy in Los Angeles, (yes SHE travels) could not have gone better. It was where WAGS came to unite + ignite! The day was full of speakers, panels + girl boss collaborations. {SHE} made sure that the décor matched the vibes of the day! The multi-dimensional step + repeat was the perfect backdrop for photo ops + interviews. Next up, attendees picked up their branded information packets + went to sit in front of the stage where there was a custom wall representing each of the different sports our WAG’s were a part of. The LA weather is a lot warmer than Pittsburgh, so {SHE} took full advantage + used the entire Hudson Loft Rooftop to create the perfect outdoor lounge. We’re talking balloons everywhere, dozens of pillows, delicious food + frozen drinks. It was an inspiring weekend + {SHE} was so grateful to be there!

With so many to-dos + formalities to come during the wedding weekend, Katie + Tony made sure their guests were welcomed to the Steel City with a stylish + super fun kickoff event.
