VIDEO: Glitter & Glam | Benefit Fashion Show For Agape
We attended the 4th annual Glitter & Glam event a few weeks back at the Hutton Hotel in Nashville. This benefit fashion show that included dogs on the runway raised money for Agape. Along with a fashion show, it featured live music, great food, drinks, plus a live and silent auction.
It was a fun event to attend and hope you enjoy the video featuring some highlights from the event, plus interviews with hosts, Phoenix Stone and Kimberley Locke.
Song Review: Sarah Darling | “Little Umbrellas”
Sarah Darling’s new single “Little Umbrellas” is a catchy, uptempo summer anthem showing the fun and flirty side of Darling. It’s managed to stay on repeat in my cd player for the last 2 days. I can’t seem to get enough of it, because it’s just that catchy that you’ll want to hear it over and over again.
Think Sarah Darling meets Jimmy Buffett, and there you have what this song is like. Darling sings about escaping from a recent breakup to enjoy a little summer sun, fun and drinking a few of those drinks that are adorned with “little umbrellas”.
Check it out in the video below and I dare you NOT to hit repeat!
Rated 5 out of 5 stars.
