The South Florida social scene can be challenging to navigate at times. As I get older I have no desire to go to stinky bars on a friday night with odd twenty-somethings who speak a language I don't understand and wear their pants to ensure that a portion of thier undergarments are sure to be visible (this applies to the men as well as the women). As such, I have been seeking to expand my social circle by joining various social and charitable organizations to expose me to new people while contributing in some positive way to the community.
Through one such organizaiton I went to a great little event Friday night where I ran into a great mix of artsy hipsters and successful up-and-comers. The event was held to promote the Ft. Lauderdale creative scene and to benefit The Broward Partnership for the Homeless. The setting was at a trendy and modern studio where local artists had the opportunity to display their work for sale, the DJ was spinning a dope beat, and the street performer-type hip hop dancers were entertaining and energetic!
The fashion choices varied from converse and t-shirts to stilettos and minis.
Spotted: One of my recurring Style Civilian fashionistas looked haute and hip in her green skinny jeans and grey suede heels. Check out her Rachel Roy "Kindness is Always Fashionable" clutch (only $60) that reminds us that some things never go out of style! I love that Ms. Roy has designed such a hot bag that also gives back! Proceeds from the sale of the clutch benefit OrphanAid Africa, a non-profit organization that supports orphans and other vulnerable children in Ghana through programs in care reform, education, and development!
