Sacramento Fashion Week

March 2, 2016 By Ruthie Ridley 30 Comments

This past Friday night, I had the privilege of attending Sacramento Fashion Week with two of my good friends! When I found out that my friend Deborah got VIP tickets for us, two weeks ago, I had been on cloud nine ever since!! I have never been to a fashion show before so I was really looking forward to this!! I had just said to Ben a few weeks ago, that I really wanted to go to NYFW in the fall.  Because of our fall schedule we both agreed that there would be no way. This was the next best thing and what a fun experience it was!!

Sacramento Fashion week was started 10 years ago.  This is what the founders of SACFW said in regards to their motivation behind starting these events. “With fashion becoming more mainstream and the growing demand for both beauty and fashion products in all markets; retailers needed a resource that would help them become profitable within the current marketplace, while manufacturers needed an outlet that would effectively reach these buyers.” It is clear that Sacramento Fashion week aims to provide a bridge between all areas in the industry: fashion designers, models, photographers, advertising agencies, modeling & talent agencies, fine artists, make up and hair stylists, exhibitors and entrepreneurs in the beauty, fashion and entertainment industry. They desire to produce a high quality event with the end goal of bringing more awareness and economic growth to the local fashion industry and as a spectator we got a true glimpse of these efforts.

I felt so proud to be a resident of Sacramento and being able to witness such true and genuine talent.  From the make-up to the hair, the models and the intricate pieces being displayed this was truly a artistry force to be reckoned with. Here are a few of the designers that we had the privelage of seeing!

Spring/Summer Showcase Designers:

Yennie Zhou | Daniel Laukat | Kimberly Dawn Eanes | Nina Brown | Rachel Lewis | Tyniece Hall | Theresa Truong | Hill Tribe Fusion

Prior to the show, the girls and I thought that we would get dressed up ourselves, take some pictures and make a night of it! We drove in in a Jaguar (Deborah’s husband is the GM of Land Rover) and were blessed with second row seats at the show.  It was perfect.  Below is a glimpse of what we wore.

WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WITNESSED GOD DO IN YOUR LIFE?!✨🫶🏾🕊️❤️‍🔥🙌🏾🙏🏾🤍

I’ll go first!! Earlier this week I was just thinking about how faithful God has been to me over the years! I think we all go through different highs and lows, but it’s so good to stop and look back and remember what God has done! 

Back in 2008 when Ben and I just got married, the market had crashed. I had purchased a home on my own in CT- We lost the house and our cars were repossessed - I honestly felt like we would never recover from that!!! Not to mention, I felt so much failure and shame attached to that season!

Fast-forward to 2019, we begin working with our dear friend  @cody.d.williams  on purchasing our very first home together and he told us all the work that needed to be done with our credit,etc. we took a year and did everything we could to get things right! Not only were we able to purchase our first home together in 2019, but everything from the past was no longer a factor & two years later we were able to purchase an even more magnificent property that we now call home 🏡 

Why was this a miracle for me? I think because I thought we would always be behind & nothing would ever change. We rented for 7+ years before we were able to purchase a home as a married couple and that started to discourage me! 

Just a reminder that little miracles happen everyday and that your worst is never the worst.  God can turn your situation around in a moment!!! The BEST is yet to COME!!! Keep believing ⭐️

Earlier this week, I had the privilege of spending Earlier this week, I had the privilege of spending some quality time with other incredible creators at a retreat with @parkermanagement 🤍 It really felt like a retreat for my soul ✨Napa is also reallly good at forcing you to slow down and take in the gorgeous views 😌

Spending time with these wonderful humans this week reminded me that I still belong here, even though I might not look like everyone else (or feel like I fit in) that’s the beauty of it all right?

I think after doing something for a very long time and in this space specifically, it’s easy to feel imposter syndrome, self doubt and the inability to “keep up”. Although an app or an industry has changed over time it’s so important to stay true to yourself.

 So grateful for this time away & I’m leaving with my cup overflowing! God is always on time with these types of things. Just when we need another boost or some encouragement, He sends all the right people your away! He is just good like that 🤩
