What’s better than spending night in a room filled with some of Connecticut’s most fashionable people, beautiful garments, great music and some killer sangria?

For me it was the inspirational and comforting  words from a beautiful spirit who opened the show….

“A lot of injustices have happened to African American women in America and still happens to women in Africa today, Historically, ropes and harnesses once used for oppression are now used to make us beautiful.” “This Collection will be presented in…

I can’t believe I almost opted for night of Netflix and leggings!

As of  late it’s been brutally cold and snowy in New England so I’ve settled into hibernation mode. But after being gently persuaded I decided to attend the first Hot Chocolate Soul of the 2015 season.

There’s nothing more refreshing than a day trip to New York City. I don’t what it is about NYC that triggers such a euphoric feeling, but I try experience it as many times possible.

NYC is one of my favorite places because of how rich it is in history and culture. I can honestly & proudly…  say that I have a totally different experience every time I visit.  I just kinda throw myself into the City…

HAPPY NEW YEAR … welcome back!

It’s been about two weeks since I’ve posted and did so purposely. I wanted the first blog of the year to be meaningful, insightful and inspiring. I’ve also been pondering cool creative ways to engage those of you who read the blog faithfully. (I’m working on a few things and will share, soon)

VAz was created with the idea for women to come out and celebrate themselves for a night of Feminine, Fabulous, Fun!
