Auction Item: 2012 Coach Rose Watch – YES PLEASE!

SWAP find: Fashion with function

This structured handbag is made of genuine leather and will be up for grabs during our Swap, April 14th (Don’t forget to buy your tickets!).  When you are out and about running errands or taking the kids out, you won’t lose your keys in this bag! The unique soladite blue comes just in time for Spring 2012 and pairs nicely with Fall 2011′s honeysuckle.  See for yourself:

Auction lot: Kate Spade necklace

This necklace is by far one of our favorite auction items this year: a Kate Spade necklace ready to bejewel any outfit.  Bright colors are perfect for transitioning into the Spring wardrobe and on top of that it glams up day-time casual and that LBD!

SWAP find: Brighton belt and how to wear it

With its feminine details, Brighton creates unique accessories out of quality leather. Take for instance this bright blue belt ready to be snagged at our Ultimate Swap:

How to wear it?  Go Country Bohemian with a neutral shirt dress paired with blues and pinks to get ready for spring.  Don’t forget your scarf because it’s still chilly out there but you’ll be picnic ready in no time:

Fashion faves

Our favorite part of the Fashion With A Passion event is the opportunity to get the San Diego community involved in making wishes come true for our Wish Kids, but there were some great takeaway memories from last year.  Here are just a few shots of last year’s fashion show featuring designs from Clay Sadler and Paul Hernandez.
