I am so excited to announce that for my fundraising project I will be running a fashion show along with fellow participant (and housemate) Bronte Wakefield!

We have already got the ball in motion and have confirmed Divine Boutique and Lara Fashions to showcase their clothes on the night. We are delighted to have them on board - thanks again Mary and Lara.

We still have a lot of details to iron out yet but we hope to make this a big and exciting event in early February with:

A special guest host Various looks and styles for spring from bridal wear to maternity wear A prize for the best-dressed lady on the night A guest DJ A professional photographer Goodie bags Make-up and Style tips A raffle and much more

So keep an eye on my updates and my twitter account and look out for #Catwalk4Kids!!!!!

Emails are flying out in their hundreds on our end trying to organise everything together for the fashion show and we already have some people on board. Today we added the amazing Starla to our team (http://www.starla.ie) and the beautiful and talented Zoe Clark has agreed to be our make up artist for the night (http://www.zoeclark.com)

However we are really struggling to get a venue for the night. We really want to hold it in a hotel in the South Dublin area, and while I have had some lovely replies from various hotels, the best they can do for me is 75%. I understand its a huge ask but we really want to try get a complimentary venue because that means ALL the money raised goes straight to charity.

Still, its early days yet!

If anyone can help me out or could help sponsor us for a venue, please contact me at sarah-j-murphy@hotmail.com

Different aspects of the fashion show coming together nicely. Now have a full team of MUA for the night, various shops/designers in for displaying their clothes on the night and already some raffle prizes lined up.

Still having trouble with securing our venue, so I began to look for sponsorship/PR help and an exciting phone-call tomorrow may change everything so stay tuned!

We also have been offered a complementary text ad on the back page of the Irish Times which will be sure to help promote our event!

So I am very excited to announce that Bronte and I have teamed up with the lovely Lucy Bradshaw, another participant of 100minds, who is going to make Catwalk4Kids even more of a success. She will be speaking in Google on Saturday about our event so keep an eye out!

We are currently in talks with various Irish entrepreneurs RE sponsorship as well as an amazingly talented PR so definitely watch this space.

We have alsp gotten the liles of Benefit and Applebee's so things are getting really exciting. We will also be viewing venues over the next week so make sure to keep checking out our pages for new updates!

Great day for Catwalk4kids trio. We had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Philippa Buckley (http://www.studio44.ie) in her home for a very productive meeting. Philippa has very kindly come on as the role of a mentor to the three of us and she was amazing. She gave us loads of new ideas and really helped us decide what direction we wanted to take Catwalk4Kids in.

We are even now more excited than ever to get everything into action and with Philippa by our sides its sure to be an amazing event!

I am delighted to announce that the gorgeous Lorna Jane Duffy of Fashion Boss (https://fashionbossblogdotcom.wordpress.com/about/) has come on board with Catwalk4Kids as a sponsor!
