Brews and Fashion at Hardywood

“Work is the curse of the drinking classes.” 

-Oscar Wilde

One of my favorite nights of RVA Fashion Week was held at Hardywood Park Craft Brewery. Some of my close friends showed up because it was Thursday and it’s a brewery. Also, I was able to interact with designers, boutique owners, and more big dreamers. I drank the coffee stout all night in case you were wondering.

I have never seen so many people at Hardywood!

I went a little casual for the event, pairing a new chambray shirt I scored at J.T. Posh over a patterned dress and one of my favorite pairs of wedges from last summer. Find similar dress here and shoes here.

I rocked some gold rings I love. Pointer finger ring is from Clementine, the middle finger ring is from Petal (as a gift), and the necklace is from Just Fab.

Inside there was a lot going on. There was jewelry, clothes, essential oils and more on display. Below you see jewelry from Surface. It took a while for it to grow on me.

I stopped by and said hey to these glasses from New Normal.

I bought a ring from C.U.T.E Boutique. Actually, I put it on and then forgot it was on as I gabbed with some new friends. So, I went back and bought it. I’ll share a photo of it soon!

La Dainta Vintage wowed me with their vintage array as well as the hand-made shirts, sweatshirts, and more. That smile doesn’t hurt!

Toward the end of the night, I got to know the NEWEST online boutique in town, the Sweetest Stitch. I bought a dress. So did my cousin. I’ll tell you more about those, later. For now, trust me and take a visit their website.

Once again, I found myself chillin with some VCU gals and River City Fashion Uprising contributors. We ate grilled cheeses. Life was good.
