I know--I can't get enough of her either. So if you want to view some unique BAV items, head to The Women of Color Expo on Saturday, August 15. It runs from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. in the Glenpointe Marriott in Teaneck, NJ. Tickets are $15 and there's childcare available. So you can be worry-free while you absorb all the beauty, style and fashion you can handle!

Meet Bridgett

Are you interested in learning how to create sustainable clothing from vintage duds first-hand? You're in luck! Bridgett's going to be exhibiting at the "Sustainable L.A." event that coordinates with the Downtown Film Festival--Los Angeles.

Bridgett goes on at 3 p.m. You can find her sewing--and our books for sale!--at 7+FIG at Ernst and Young Plaza in downtown Los Angeles, at the corner of 7th and Figueroa Streets. A farmer’s market and product expo take place on the main level, while the speakers and films take place at the 7+FIG Art Space on the second level. Then stick around--a reception at the Festival Lounge at the AT&T Center will follow the event, beginning at 7 p.m.

Miami Book Signing and Fashion Show

We had a blast at the Biltmore Hotel, promoting our book and Bridgett's fashions this past spring, thanks to our hostess with the most-ess, Tara Gilani. The models looked gorgeous in B.Artise Originals! Actually, they'd look fab in anything they wear, but they loved Bridgett's designs and really wore them well. It was a fun evening :-)

A couple of these designs are now available at Rebel, located on Biscayne Boulevard, Upper East Side, Miami. Don't look for this green dress, though--Jen's friend Michaela snapped that up pronto!

Jen bought parts of this brown-and-gold brocade dress (below) in Atlanta at a great vintage boutique called Stefan's Vintage Clothing (http://www.stefansvintage.com/; stefansinc@aol.com). They've got terrific formal wear and an excellent men's department, for you guys who like to wear the classics. The've also got a great big black cat in the shop, who sleeps on the counters just waiting for you to pet him. Incidentally, this dress came with a jacket, which Jen now wears as is with jeans. Remember, you don't always have to cut up everything you find...
