Charity Auction: Couture & Cocktails

Shop Mag Style is proud to be a medium for giving back to the community. We encourage all of our amazingly fabulous consignors allow us to give unsold items to charity, or a portion of sales to a charity of their choice.

We were so excited to do a "Closet Confession" with our friend Kristina, a Co-Chair for Couture & Cocktails benefiting The Joffrey Ballet. This week, her Shop Mag Style merchandise is being auctioned off for charity! 

These stunning pieces are being auctioned off now (starting at $49.99!), and a percentage will benefit her glamorous star studded event, Couture & Cocktails. This event supports programs, classes, and most of all, our local Chicago treasure: The Joffrey Ballet.

Here are a few of her confessions:

{Zac Posen Vibrant Ruffle Hem & Draped Back Dress}
Kristina's Confession: "My friends tell me if I wear this one more time they'll rip it off me!"

{Christian Dior Fuchsia Silk Blouse}
Confession:"The piece in front isn't right for me"

{Valentino RED Textured Torso Little Black Dress}
Confession: "My LBD collection is taking over my closet!"

{Roberto Cavalli Black Asymmetrical Studded Skirt}
Confession: "I have worn this and have been photographed in it one too many times" 

{Dolce&Gabbana Mauve Lace Overlay Dress}
Confession: "This shade does not go well with my coloring- It would look great on a brunette!"

{Prada Lilac Bodice Dress}
Confession: "Again with the coloring, I think you darker haired woman would pull it off better."

{Roberto Cavalli Green "Snake Dress"}
Confession: "I bought this on a whim in Vegas. I had fun in it and it's time to pass the torch"

{Valentino Red Silk Bow Dress}
Confession: "The bow at the hip... not for me"

{Roberto Cavalli One Shoulder Melot Dress}
Confession: "My husband is not a fan of one shoulder pieces. He says it looks like my shoulder got cut off!"

{Michael Kors Malibou Pink Strapless Dress}
Confession: "Worn and loved!"

{David Meister White Sequin Cocktail Dress}  
Confession: "You'll have to fight me for this one, I love it"

{Pamella Roland Ivory Silk Blouse}
Confession: "Pamella Roland will be our charity designer this year!"

{J Mendel White Halter Cocktail Dress}
Confession: "I had a lot of fun in this dress! It is hard to give it up!"
