a good cause

8 May

so friday night was our big charity event supporting HelpingHands, which was held at the salon i work at.  it was such a success. we had more than 200 people come out to support this great cause. we offered tons of salon services like, blowouts, waxing, facials, manicures, airbrush tanning, and makeup applications. we had a lounge set up outside with a bar, dj and food provided by my families restaurant, ferraro’s. not to mention the fashion show we had with clothing provided by saks. it really ended up being a great evening. so here’s a couple pics i wanted to share!

happy friday!!!!!

here’s some funny and fancy feet from the conte house.

 it would be an under statement to say  that we just “like” shoes.

giuseppe has a collection of classic nikes that fill an entire closet.

with that said, they’ll be more feet to come!!!….

best day ever

20 Apr

so last october 8th was the best day of my life to date. after a year of planning my dream wedding, everything came together for that one special day.  even giuseppe, who was resistant during the whole planning process, admitted that it was well worth it and that he’s never had more fun in his whole life.  i feel really lucky that i get to spend the rest of my life with this man. he truly makes my life complete. so i wanted to share a little clip of our wedding video to show how amazing it all really was. enjoy!
