We’ve been meaning to share Dove’s  “Real Beauty Sketches” a revealing look at how we see ourselves (LOVE DOVE).

As we’ve said before we’ve met, talked, laughed, cheered and scolded what feels like thousands of women over the years.  And it’s all in regards to appearance!  ”I’m too fat.”  ”I don’t think it’ll zip.”  ”I hate my arms, legs, elbows…”  You name we’ve heard it.

LADIES!!!  Stop!!! Trust us, you’re the only one’s who see the crazy flaws!  All the people who really love you only see the beauty.

So give yourself a break.

Seriously.

We think you’re amazing, awesome, sexy, hot, smart, funny.

Just sayin…

On Friday May 17th, DRESS was in attendance at the 2013 CCA Graduate Fashion show.  One of our own DRESS employees, Irina Murphy, was graduating and debuted her amazing graduate collection.  We are so proud of her!  The collection received an overwhelming response..the crowd LOVED her! And of course…so did we.

Now she’s off to New York to take on the fashion world.  We will miss her.  Best of luck Irina!

A couple of posts ago (so not that many posts) we told you about Camp Reel Stories the cool camp for girls that introduces them to the world of film.

They’re raising money for scholarships so if you think it’s as cool as we do please support them!

Only 3 day’s left!

If you haven’t taken the time yet you must go see the The Bay Lights an iconic light sculpture designed by world-renowned artist Leo Villareal.  This stunning fine arts experience will shine from dusk until 2:00 a.m. on the San Francisco Bay Bridge West Span from March 5, 2013 through 2015.

And the cool thing is you can even give the Gift of Light by personalizing one or more lights in The Bay Lights.

We at DRESS love to hear about interesting businesses, ideas, fashion… you name it we want to hear about it especially if it has anything to do with empowering women.   A great new summer program was just introduced to us by one of our clients and we think it rocks!  (Matter of fact if I could still pass for 18 I might try to sign up myself!)

Camp ReelStories is a summer camp that teaches young women ages 13-18 how to make their own films.  It’s 4 days, 9-5:30, July 22-26 at the Oakland Center for the Arts.

If you have daughters, nieces, cousins, friends daughter’s who’ve ever wondered how they make the films they see this would an awesome opportunity!
