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.

I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but why not 🤪. I left the worst ones out 😅

Online hate is wild to me. People behind a screen saying whatever they want not realizing it actually affects real people.

I posted a simple cute video of Ben and I going from regular clothes to our work uniforms. it went viral, which is a chance you take so I got a lot of love which I’m thankful for but a lot of hate as well.. these were all strangers, people who don’t know that we’ve been married almost 18 years, have a beautiful family, genuinely love each other, and love what we do and the people we serve 👮‍♂️ 👩🏾‍⚕️ 🩺 

You expect it to some extent but I didn’t realize how much words could still affect me…I’m 41 almost 42. It really doesn’t matter how old you are words still hit.

I’m not sharing this for sympathy just a reminder before you leave a mean comment on someone’s page whether it’s a stranger, someone you know, or someone with a big platform think twice. Words matter & they  impact people more than you think.

And don’t worry I got a new wig this week 😝💀🤣

This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my Nursing 🩺👩🏾‍⚕️ license after leaving my job in 2020 and spending five years at home with my kids creating content full time. To say I was shocked to be reentering the workforce is an understatement. Sometimes life shifts and you just have to roll with it 😮‍💨

I am SO thankful I had the opportunity to go back to work but it was hard. I felt like I failed in my business & I was down BAD 😝 But I realized something….God makes NO MISTAKES.

I LOVE my current job & I STILL get to create content, but now it feels more authentic and true to who I am😌

I am dancing because I can & because I am thankful. Your life can change SO much in a year, overnight or In a MOMENT. Trust God with your life. He will NEVER let you down 🤍

If you’re new here, then I’ll give you a little bit of a backstory but also if you’ve been here for a while because a lot has changed in the last year 🤪. 

I became a nurse at 19 after graduating high school early, raised in a very purpose driven Jamaican home. Nursing was never just a job for me. It was provision, connection, and a way to serve people from all walks of life.

In 2020, I stepped away from nursing to pursue content creation full time, and it truly felt like a dream!!! The biggest blessing was the time it gave me with my family. Being present, raising my kids, and soaking in every moment 🥲

Then almost exactly a year ago, May 15, God called me back to nursing, and I couldn’t believe it. The transition was not easy, but it has been one of the greatest blessings. My heart is so full, and I have never felt more aligned in what I do.

God knows what He is doing. He makes no mistakes 🤍 Where are my nurses, law enforcement, and first responders at 🙋🏾‍♀️
