Ahh! I can’t believe it! It’s already time to promote our longest running event, Bras with Flair on the Square! It’s going to be our NINTH annual event this year, and I’m really pumped about it. We’re working with Owl Be Sweatin’ to promote their new Strength Series of headbands, where a portion of the proceeds benefits a local breast cancer survivor… who will be making an appearance in our fashion show!
Also new this year is an Official Decorating Party, which we’re going to hold at A Village Gift Shop in Glendale on Sept. 17. If you attend and decorate your bra at the party, you’ll get free tickets to Bras with Flair! Plus, you’ll get to enjoy refreshments, food truck yumminess, shopping and lots of fun!
All the event details are below! Hope to see you there!

The Pink Tulip Club is offering 20% to 30% off the boutique’s new styles including cardigans, faux leather jacks and fun tops!
I was just there and they’re packed full of fab fall colors such as cream, grey, auburn, rust, gold and cobalt blue…. and all the best fall fabrics including wool, genuine leather, cashmere and silk!
Since the Pink Tulip Club’s Montgomery location is celebrating its 3 year anniversary this month, all final sale items can be found at 70% off! Much of what you’ll find on the sale rack are great pieces for fall too!
The holiday collection has also arrived at the Pink Tulip Club, so if you’re planning on attending any holiday parties or galas this fall, this is the place to go to find your party dress or gown!
And one of the most exciting announcements the Pink Tulip Club has is that they are now carrying 7 For all Mankind designer denim at the Montgomery location. In order to celebrate this exciting new addition to the store’s inventory, they’re having a giveaway!
If you try on a pair of the 7 For All Mankind denim, you’ll be entered in a drawing for a pair of tickets to The Duke energy Convention Center’s Holiday Market! The Pink Tulip Club is giving away 20+ tickets so you’ll have several chances to win! If you’re a lucky winner, you’ll be contacted via phone or email and will be announced in the November Pink Tulip Club email!
Pink Tulip Club actually provided all the clothing for Cincy Chic’s Bras with Flair Fashion Show last Friday, and I wanted every. single. piece!!!! Click here to check out the photos Cincinnati.com’s photog snapped at the event!
My friend Tamia at Style Sample sent me a pic of the bra she decorated and donated for Bras with Flair on Oct. 19! Tamia says she titled the bra “Purple Rain” … I think she should call it the “piece of art formerly known as a bra.” haha! 🙂
You can see this and more than FOUR HUNDRED (yes, that’s how many donations we got in!!!) decorated bras flying high on Fountain Square on Oct. 19. Click here for more details and to RSVP for the Bras with Flair Fashion Show that benefits Susan G. Komen!
Bras with Flair Sneak Peek… yes, an odd-sounding headline, but that’s what this post is all about! 🙂
Like I posted about earlier, we have in lots of fabulous decorated bra entries already, but we can always use more! This Friday is the last day to donate your decorated bra, so don’t miss out! Drop-off details and prize info here: http://cincychic.com/braswithflair
Below another pic of a bra that you can see flying high on Fountain Square Oct. 19… my friend Jenny at LadyLike Chic created this one. She says she was going for a dark, French coquettish vibe. So she took a black bra, covered it in purple lace, and added a few bows, pearls and some black ruffles to the bottom of the bra. So chic! I love it!
Hope to see YOUR bra on Fountain Square too! Like I said before, Friday is the deadline for drop-offs. Then, we’ll have them all displayed on Fountain Square from 11am-1pm, and we’ll also be taking votes for everyone’s favorite creations. The top vote earner wins two Ultimate Jet Charter Tickets! If you’re in the top 10, the bra is paired w a silent auction item and given to the winning bidder. Others will be sold for a donation to Susan G. Komen!
I stopped in to PNC Bank to see how our Bras with Flair on the Square decorated bra donations are coming, and a ton of incredible creations have been submitted! Here’s one from DiscoToes (we recently wrote about them here in Cincy Chic!). This Friday is the last day to donate your decorated bra, so don’t miss out! Drop-off details and prize info here: http://cincychic.com/braswithflair Then, see all the decorated bras fly high on Fountain Square for the big event on Oct. 19. Click here to learn more and RSVP!
Wow! I’m STILL amazed at how incredible last night’s Bras with Flair on the Square event went! First of all, mother nature did us a huuuuuge favor and was gorgeous, sunny and the perfect temperature – a dream come true for an outdoor event. Secondly, it was packed the entire day. Hundreds of Cincinnatians came out to check out all the decorated bras.
After work, lots of people came out to have a drink, dine and shop in style for the ta-ta-tini party. And lastly, for the fabulous fashion show, it went off without a hitch. There were so many details coordinating the show, music, jumbotron, etc… but it all went perfectly, and I couldn’t be happier.
First we had a high-end fashion show with ALK Fashion. Then we recognized the five local survivors who we found through the Cincinnati.com contest. We showed their videos they taped before their makeovers, and then they strutted the catwalk after their makeover. There wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd. It really moved people to see these real-life warriors, hear their stories and see them shine in that fashion show. It reminded me why I work so hard, and dedicate so much time, to important causes like Susan G. Komen.
After the show we went to Tonic for the after party where the top 10 bras where paired with things like spa packages, boutique gift certificates and an iPod. We don’t have a final number on the amount raised for Komen, but I know for sure it’s more than $2,000! YAY!
Thomas E. Smith (one of my favorite local photogs) was at the fashion show and after party taking pics for The Enquirer. He does such a great job, especially at fashion shows – which isn’t easy because it’s very fast paced, the lighting is tough to get right and no one stands still for long to get a good focus. But Thomas does a great job. Click here to check out the photo album of the show.

Well… not literally parading in public… more like flapping in the wind. That’s right! Today is the big day for Bras with Flair on the Square!
Hundreds of bedazzled bras will be on Fountain Square downtown today, so you must come down to see this spectacle! Festivities at Fountain Square include…
From 11am-1pm, vote on your favorite bras (the top 10 will be auctioned off at the end) while grabbing some homemade lasagna from Gabby’s Cafe (portion of proceeds go to Komen!).
From 5-7pm, there will be a Ta-Ta-tini happy hour. At 7pm, enjoy a fashion show featuring designs from ALK Fashion. The winner of Cincinnati.Com’s and Cincy Chic’s Breast Cancer Survivor makeover will be honored at the end of the fashion show and she will walk the runway to showcase her makeover and new jewelry from Serket Jewelry. If you’d like to come to the show, click here to buy your ticket. It’s only $15 and it includes a reusable tote bag stuffed with swag… plus 100% of the proceeds go to Susan G. Komen!

We’ve been promoting this fourth annual event for months now, so I’m very excited to make it happen today!
