AuH2O Fashion Show!

I had a great time at the AuH2O Fashion Brunch this past Sunday. Held in a funky East Village eatery called Marion’s that seems to have been around forever, lucky invitees enjoyed cocktails and brunchy food and then got to check out Kate Goldwater’s designs, which are all made from recycled and reworked fabrics.

Polka dots on polka dots! I’m so into polka dots lately, so I love this dress

This flowey lingerie-inspired dress was one of my favorites; the lace detail at the shoulders is too, too pretty!

A green dress for greenies like us…

Sexy and demure at the same time (and I’m so in love with the hat…when will hats come back?)

Just look at the mix of gorgeous fabrics on this ‘bluesy’ dress…

Check out the creative patchwork skirt on this dress, which looked very comfy.

This top is made from bottoms…khakies to be exact (notice the belt!)

A mini with a maxi Coppertone insert!
