EVENT: The Philadelphia Natural Hair Care Show

By Young Hip Chic · May 15, 2013 · 0 Comments ·
On May 4, 2013, I had the opportunity to visit the Natural Hair Show in Philadelphia, PA and it was definitely an interesting experience. The Philadelphia Natural Hair Show was created to assist women who have chosen to adopt a natural and healthy hair lifestyle. The vision is for women to have an unequivocal love for the hair they were given. This was definitely felt as my mom, sisters and I walked through the crowd of beautiful women who adorned many different styles and had many different textures of natural hair. You could see locks, curls and twist from one corner of the room to the next. Even the women who wore their hair closely shaven were there rocking their baldy like a priceless jewel. It was interesting to walk through the marketplace as there were so many natural hair care products to choose from that I didn't know where to start. I had the chance to meet one of my past Walk the Talk Exclusive Fashion Event sponsors, Mixxed Chicks; Herbal Body Blessings from Virginia had really great natural products for the hair and body that smelled so good and felt like butter rubbed on the skin; and I met two positive authors, Cheron K. Griffin (3PM) and Dionne Peart (Somerset Grove). I had a few dollars in my pocket and I was hoping to shop for a few unique products but unfortunately, there were not a lot of clothing and accessory lines but the hair care products were abundant! I wish there was a few natural or healthy food vendors since I was starving…LOL.

Women were empowered with education from top leading hair care providers in Philadelphia that included Duafe Holistic Hair and The Weave Bar so that women would understand the importance of maintaining a healthy head of hair, how to transition from processed hair to natural hair, and how to show love for your tresses. Overall, it was a fun experience and I had a good time meeting new people, sharing hair experiences and learning more about how to maintain that perfect mane. I look forward to the next event in 2014. To learn more about the Philadelphia Natural Hair Show, visit: www.phillynaturalhairshow.com

Walk the Talk: Bebop Clothing is Amazingly Chic!

I am officially a Bebop Girl and I am in love with Bebop Clothing.

I really wanted something cute to wear for Walk the Talk Exclusive Fashion Event, and I had the idea that I wanted to be dressed in something that appeared to look vintage, but with a new school twist.

I was sent the really cute Baroque, gilded gold dress from Bebop and I paired it with a pair of black tights and T-strapped shoes with a small fan detail. I also got a really cute feather band from Plain Elain and jewelry from Venus Visuals and G.E.M.M.Z.

I really loved the feel and the look of my dress. It had a really good fit. I was pleased by the amount of compliments that I received from the many fashionistas in attendance. It was really important to look and feel great and that I did!

On 12/15/12, YHC, Showroom77 and Can Ya Heel Me? hosted another successful fashion networking event filled with great sponsors, awesome vendors, real cool giveaways and food that tasted like heaven!

The Walk the Talk Exclusive Fashion Event is held twice a year in order to bring fashion insiders together to make connections and do real business. There are stylist, bloggers, designers, and boutique owners that come from NYC, NJ, DC, NC, and even the great place of Brazil just to get in on the mixing and mingling.

Each year, Rebecca and I (along with my parents, Aalim and Heather Elitou) plan the event to be one to talk about and that happens when you have a great hostess like Angela Edmunds of Showroom77, who is always so gracious and opens her doors. Showroom77 is a premier Showroom that is located in the elite Society Hill of Philadelphia, PA and the location is very private and quaint. A place where an invitation is a MUST!

We have lifestyle bloggers, plus sized bloggers and bloggers that write about the beauty of life (Chasing Joy).

We were so pleased to have so many great people in attendance for the Walk the Talk Exclusive Fashion Event for the summer of 2012. There were people in attendance from as far as Colorado and Florida (special shout out to Ms. Cookie of Woman to Woman and Jazzy Jewelz).

EVENT: The Beginning of the 17... Days of Fashion is Coming Soon!!!

By Young Hip Chic · August 13, 2012 · 2 Comments ·

For the second year, I plan to participate in the 17…Days of Fashion’s 3rd Annual Media Reception and Kickoff Event that will be held in my hometown of Philly, PA.

17... Days of Fashion is a nonprofit organization with its 501(c)(3) application pending that was established in 2009 by the founding members of the Philadelphia Fashion Consortium (PFC). The member’s goal is to create an unparalleled event. With this mission in mind, they created 17…Days of Fashion. The annual event features 21 fashion events produced by local designers and industry professionals and it also incorporates education forums lead by leaders of the Delaware Valley and fashion community at large.

Each participating organization is also charged to give back to the community by raising money through the course of their event and donating to a charity of their choice. It is all about Community, Charity, and Couture!

The Kick-off will take place at Philadelphia’s hot new spot Aura Restaurant and Lounge on August 17, 2012 at 5pm. This year’s event will feature R&B superstar Ginuwine.

Ginuwine is currently in the studio recording his brand new solo album. He is also collaborating on an upcoming album with other R&B vets Tyrese and Tank to form the group TGT. When he is not laying down tracks, he is working with his charitable causes, Impact Broadway, S.P.R.U.C.E and of course, 17…Days of Fashion. Ginuwine is also looking to help the next generation of stars with Bag Entertainment Company that is dedicated to helping new talent succeed in the entertainment industry.

In addition to Ginuwine, the 17…Days of Fashion Media Reception and Kickoff Event will feature many notable guests including but not limited to: Dezzie (Praise 103.9), Carvin Haggins (Grammy Award Winning Writer and Producer), Mike Jerrick (Fox29), Curtis Jones (Councilmen), Sixx King (Director/Contributing Writer for Essence.com), Mo’Shay LaRen (Radio Personality 100.3 WRND), Bria Marie (R&B Singer), Sharon Phillips Waxman (President of SPW Productions), Dr. Marquita Williams (Psychologist and Advisory Board Member), and Lori Wilson (NBC10). Erika McDaniel of Your Chic is Showing is the planner for the 17…Days of Fashion Media Reception and Kickoff event and I look forward to what this year has to offer. I had a great time at the last one especially the Celebrities for Charity Event and the Smooches Models event featuring plus-sized models that were fierce!

Not only will I be covering it for my blog, but it will also be featured on the Beauty Equation website hosted by Nigel Barker formerly of America’s Next Top Model.

All fashion industry insiders and the public are also invited to attend the event. Those looking to attend can RSVP by Aug. 15, 2012 by contacting our event planner at eventplanning@yourchicisshowing.com.
