On Saturday I attended the Junior League Third Annual Sacs in the City luncheon. Having never heard of it before, I didn't know what to expect. I knew that it was a fashion show and silent auction to benefit some non-profit organization. I was told to dress nicely, so I wore a really cute pink spring dress and matching Sugar flats.
As I waltzed up the escalator of the Hilton Hawaiian Village, I caught glimpse of the hanging fuschia lanterns and bright red catwalk. There was hardly anyone there yet. I was early. I was sent to a conference room, called Iolani V. After I cringed at the sight of the name, I slowly turned the intricately carved doorknob of the oak door. I could hear voices, slightly aggravated, slightly excited, for the event.
Gucci, Coach, and Louis Vuitton. Mac, Shu Uyemura, and Heaven on Earth gift certificates. This was such an amazing event. Trini Kaopuiki hosted, Anna Namba was featured at the fashion show, displaying her 2007 Kimonos and Asian Silks collection. All the auctioned items were donated by individuals and companies, so I guessed that 100% proceeds were to benefit the organization. I found out that the Junior League helps young women "find confidence in themselves" or something cool like that. It was no wonder that about, I would say 99% of the people there were women, older women who donated to organizations like these often. And women who simply loved shopping.
