RSC Show Charity: Children's Cancer Fund!

Today, we want to give you some background on Texas Children's Cancer Fund and it's one of  our charities!310398_260052054018261_40121671_nIn 2005 our friend and former model, Tyler Kuleb's, son was diagnosed with cancer. She introduced me to CCF when I was asked to  help produce and chair the event with her. It was such an emotional experience and the organization was so amazing to work with. Our company has been producing the event since then! It truly has been one of the most wonderful opportunities of our lives.There was one moment we will never forget about this charity!

About 3 years ago, a young man came up to the technical booth after I had finished the fashion show. As I took off my headsets, he said, "Mrs. Chambers, when I  was little you made my dream come true. Since I am older, taller, and my hair has grown back you may not remember me, but you let me walk the runway with Troy Aikman and Dillard's. I literally had the most awesome clothes to wear down the runway because of you. I just wanted to say thank you!". It was one of the most emotional moments for me. It was so great to see how healthy he was and I was so proud to have been a part of his life and the lives of all of the CCF children!

Here are ways you can give back to the children!We are excited to announce there is an app that will send hairstyles to your home! Yes, you read that right. You can get that perfect blowout right at home! Also, if you buy this gift card then Blownaway will donate 20% of their proceeds to Children's Cancer Fund! This offer is only valid until August 17th.  So ladies not only can you get the #bestblowoutEVER in the comfort of your home, but you can give back at the same time! Go to bit.ly/BlownAwayApp for details.RSC Childrens Cancer Fund CompositeAlso, there is another event RSC Show will be producing for the children!

The Mile High Favorites:

collagemilehigh 1. Buy into ‘Fads’ with less expensive finds, like this BCBGeneration ‘Gretchen’ peep-toe camp booties for $159.  They are cadet worthy at a fraction of the cost of it’s ready-to-wear cousin.2. Python print goes with everything, day time or evening.  They are worth every penny!

I’m a sucker for the still understated yet fashionable color, oxblood.  To incorporate bright red was genius with this Valentino pump at one of my favorite ‘lusting’ websites, www.net-a-porter.com5. Schultz strap pumps originally $240, however, they are $144.99 on Zappos! I love the tame pearl tone, but also available is Atlantis purple6. Steve Madden sizzles with Femme Fatale pumps like this ‘Daalton’ rocks for $99.95.  All three color choices rock!7. Sassy Alice + Olivia ‘Gale’ have these gorgeous lace-up suede bootie exclusively at Nordstrom’s.  Remember, lace up booties are a must-have fall 2014 shoe!8.  Metallic’s and patent are hot year-round.  I love this mixed gold metallic tones by Jimmy Choo with the strappy ankle and lacquered heel. These heels cost $995 from SAKS.

Shoes For All:

1. Angela Scott's fall collection with haberdashery influence is perfect for the upcoming fall season! Hints of western influence will be the nonchalant ‘it-girl’ uniform this season.

Don't Get Burned: Sunscreen Tips!

The summer season is officially in full swing. Who doesn't love this time of year? However, you can’t forget that the sun's rays can damage your skin and be the fastest way to bring on signs of aging. We know it's hard to stay out of the sun, so here are a few tips for you!

Hats: Whether you are out in the sun for a couple of minutes or hours, hats are a great way to protect your skin. Everyone believes if you wear any hat you are protected, but this is not the case! A large brim hat with 50 spf made within/inside the hat is a must!  Some hats do not protect your face, neck and décolleté.  Hats that are thinly woven or straw based do NOT protect you!Here are some hats we approve:02233_4007_1 02246_236_1 02315_232_1Sunscreens: Did you know there are two types of sunscreens? Physical and Chemical. Chemical sunscreens have more UVA protection than physical. This is mainly because this sunscreen is much more absorbent, whereas physical sunscreen is like a shell and deflects the sun rays. Physical sunscreen is better for sensitive skin. Also, every sunscreen has a different level of protection against those harmful UVB rays. Contrary to popular belief, SPF 50 versus 30 doesn't mean greater protection overall, but it does protect you more from ultravoilet waves.

Moisturizer: Skip the makeup with SPF! If there is SPF in your moisturizer, it is more than likely that the level of protection is decreased since it will be diluted. Ditch the dual moisturizer, and apply them separately.

Application: We saved the most important tip for last! It's so vital to reapply your sunscreen throughout the day. Just because you applied sunscreen in the morning doesn't mean you will be protected all day. Read the application instructions for optimal protection on the sunscreen’s label.

Finally, here are some recommendations from our fans about their favorite sunscreens:

  • @Theamyrobbins: "I cannot live without my MD Forte 50 SPF Sport sunscreen".
  • @ Tanyafosterfilm: "SkinCeuticals"
