Being the emcee of Hammers and Heels for the last Being the emcee of Hammers and Heels for the last five years has been one of the greatest pleasures in my life. The first time I went to the event I knew I wanted to be involved. One because I love fashion but two because I sat by a future Habitat homeowner and that conversation changed me. I have always had a heart for affordable housing but this event gave me a tangible way of helping with that issue. 

When they asked me to start emceeing it was an immediate yes because who says no to being able to dress up and dance on stage in front of a bunch of screaming women. 

I am excited to remain involved with this event but cannot wait to see someone new wrangling these ladies in their seats each year as the emcee. It’s  only going to keep getting better and better and raising more and more money because the staff at Habitat and this committee of women are incredible. Literally.

Osman and his team truly knocked this out of the park. We started the night with a bourbon tasting on the patio and passed hors d’oeuvres. Later in the evening we sat down to a three course meal with paired bourbon cocktails. 

I shared a few things about planning this last month but I wanted you to see the finished product. All of the finishing touches came together perfectly for the  masculine, dark palette I had in mind. 

Plus the cake yall. Beautiful and delicious and made by my friend @whitneypalmer701. 

We ate too much. Drank too much. Laughed until our sides hurt. Literally the perfect evening.

Investing in a Swimsuit

I haven’t invested more than $40 in a swimsuit in several years. The boys are still young so I find I am hard on my suits from being in the water with them or sitting on the side. We all know how harsh pool bottoms can be to your suit so I always said until they could all swim well I wasn’t going to invest in a suit.

I had an event at Bra Genie in Metairie and when I was there I started looking at all of the swimsuits they had. All of their suits are great quality and right from the start I could tell a difference. Most of the suits were lined, the material felt like it was higher quality and the actual construction of the suit was well done. I decided to try a few and see what I thought.

Putting one on I saw the same differences as I did when I was looking at the on the shelf. I also noticed that when I slipped the suit on I wasn’t adjusting it and moving it around. It fit my body much more comfortably than lower end suits I own. I also loved that it had an extra added support in the top to make sure everything stayed right where it needed to be.

One of my other favorite things about this suit is how fun it would be to style for a pool party. I put it with this high waisted skirt and kimono and it was a full on outfit.

I won’t be giving up all of my fun suits but I am really glad I invested in this one this year!

As always Becca Michelet and the staff at Bra Genie outdid themselves. They are going to give you honest and helpful feedback on the suits you pick out to make sure it is perfect for you.

XO,

Tippy
