Make Fashion a Priority

As a mother of three, fashion just isn't as important as it once was for me, or at least I do not have the "time" for it to be important. However, fashion has continued to be a part of my life…whenever I can fit it in. Yes, sometimes it is easier than others and I am not going to deny running to the store in a pair of pajamas and a baseball hat! But here's the bottom line: if fashion was easier to grasp and there were “real stylists” to help support our busy lifestyles…I, personally, would jump at the opportunity for some help.
The Village of Rochester Hills is making this "fashion wish" a reality, starting with the 2012 Spring Fashion Show on March 18th at the Royal Park Hotel. In just a short amount of time, you can learn about the trends of spring, enjoy a fun, high-energy runway show and get true advice on your personal “situation”. Plus, a portion of the money raised will go to The Women’s Fund. It's the perfect “girl’s day out” to catch up with your friends, find out about fashion trends, learn how you can improve your personal style and help raise money for a worthy cause.

Hot Mama to Open Its First Store in Detroit

Seven years ago, Megan Tamte was so convinced that moms wanted designer clothing with unparalleled service that she and her husband, Michael Tamte, opened their first Hot Mama store in Edina, Minnesota. Today, Hot Mama has 22 stores in eight states. Each year Hot Mama receives hundreds of customer requests to add a Hot Mama store in cities across the United States—which affirms the founding couple’s belief that the U.S. is filled with hot mamas.
Hot Mama signed a lease this week to open a store this spring at the Village of Rochester Hills in Oakland County, MI. Megan and Michael were attracted to The Village’s surrounding demographics and its ability to draw Hot Mama’s core customer of fashion forward moms. This will be Hot Mama’s second Michigan store. The retailer already has a footprint in Michigan with its store in East Grand Rapids.
