Cinderella Project MKE

Milwaukee is definitely buzzing with excitement because that big orange thing in the sky has been out..for 3 days in a row now. Woohoo! 40 degrees for the weekend is like a heat wave for us right about now. I do realize how completely sad this sounds, but we gotta take what we can get, right?

Spring also marks a milestone for alot of girls and that is PROM! I never went to mine because I was way too cool, hehe. I went to my boyfriends high school prom when I was a sophomore and he was a senior. I went with the princess look and wore a lavendar A-line gown with a tiara and a great big JLo-esque updo from the Latina hair stylist who lived down the block and did hair out of her basement. Ah, those were the days!

Lisette Gaduric from the Gadzuric foundation must have been reminiscing about her prom days when she came up with the Cinderella Project MKE. She admits to having a passion for fashion and helping out the community. Heres the scoop:
