Fundraiser Brings Miami Fashions to Homewood
A one-of-kind charity fashion event combined the forces of Vestavia Hills salon owner and hairstylist Dona Bullock and 2012 Miss Alabama Anna Laura Bryan.
Joelle Salon presented the event, Sunset in Miami, at The Hill in Homewood recently.
Proceeds benefited Bryan’s charity, P.A.W.S. (People and Animals Working Side-by-Side) for Autism.
Hundreds enjoyed the lavish poolside affair that featured floral designs by Dorothy McDaniel, hors d’oeuvres prepared on site by Michael’s Steak and Seafood and drinks from United-Johnson Brothers of Alabama and Piggly Wiggly Homewood.
The first 100 guests snagged swag bags filled with surprises from local sponsors and lined the pool deck to hear music from Miss Alabama. They then previewed 20 Miami-inspired looks, styled exclusively by Southern Femme, provided by Gus Mayer and the Clothes Tree and modeled by Miss Alabama contestants.
Joelle Salon managing partner Mandie Joelle Powell conceptualized the hair designs.
Spotted on the scene were Eleanor Parker, Alex Tino, Deborah Wiggins, Tori Chappell, Ruth Edgeworth, Ann Simmons and Michael Tatum.
Others hanging out by the pool were Hannah Brown, Haley Bagwell, Ashley Willis, Lucky Solis, Anna Byrd, Crys Worley and Caprenia Anthony.
Also attending the fundraiser were Sheila Smoot, Kristy Osborn, Dee Repici, Heather Blisard, Abby Hathorn, Kristi Wilson, Kathy Byron, Anela McKinney, Tata Respinto, Scott Edward Fell, Toni Viator, Beck Haines, Lillian Haines, Rives Oliver, Wes Samford, Joy Burttram, Michelle Scholtz, Julie Kim, Maria Schaffer, Tifoni DeFalco and Niki Hovanec.
