Long time no talk! Sorry for the lack of posting, between moving and the Holidays, the blog has been ignored. New developments for Jade and Jade Rose {Designs}. So much to figure out but I am super excited to get to share with you information as it unfolds. A journey is beginning and this blog will be the way to follow the journey of my business and work I will be doing! I can't share yet, but here is a sneak peak of what's to come!

Jade Rose Designs at MUAH Palooza

This past weekend Jade Rose Designs took part in a celebration of fashion with other artists who contribute to the fashion scene in Portland, Or. This event, called MUAH Palooza was held by Semper Fashion (home of Portland's Fashion Week) and Sidlab Haircouture.

I was joined by three lovely ladies, two of which are Jade Rose Designs models and the other the best spokeswoman I know! We had fun "working" while we met new stylists, made a scene with our hair pieces, talked with very important people, and sipped on champagne. Definitely a fun girls night and networking opportunity! Exciting opportunity coming up through Semper Fashion(details to come later, shhh it's a surprise!)apparently they Jade Rose Designs!! :)

Sarah Seven and Jade Rose OOTD 4/14/2010

My favorite dress in my closet, this dress was given to me as a gift by friend (and designer) Sarah Seven! I went back and forth about a million times this morning trying to find a waist belt to wear with this dress, ultimately I came to the conclusion that Sarah's dresses are just too perfect and do not need to be accessorized!

EVENING: This dress would be paired with nude lace tights and higher heels.


DAY: Otherwise known as my "teacher appropriate" version of the outfit:









Dress: Sarah Seven
Cropped Pants: The Limited
Vintage leather wedges: thrifted

Haiti Crisis

I hold a special place in my heart for Haiti. A few years back I was part of a team who went to Haiti and built earthquake safe houses, nursed the wounded and sick, played with the orphaned and learned more than I would in any other life experience. My heart is heavy right now for everyone who is being hit with this crisis. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families involved.

I am currently looking for a group to volunteer with. I want to head back to Haiti to help, this country helped me realize my life dream, the Haitians changed my life. I hope you are finding ways to volunteer time and resources to this event. The Haitians taught me to smile regardless of the situation. They were always happy; happy with what they had, even if it seemed like so little(to Americans).

I do not doubt the spirit of these people as they work through this crisis, even now in their sorrow they are praising for those who did live and who have made it through the collapsed buildings. Haitians are a strong culture on the inside, and although the government may be corrupt, the people are Strong and will pull together. I hope we in America can help.

I am currently donating all proceeds from purchases towards the Haiti crisis. I plan to give what I can to help those in Haiti right now, please join me in my efforts.


With gratitude,
Jade Rose
