As a social media manager, I work with clients in a multitude of industries and I love it. One of which clients is in the business of connecting people and making things happen. Her name is Shannon and you can follow her adventures here.

Most recently, Shannon orchestrated an event to benefit the Eliza Hope Foundation called Rosé Day on the Bay that knocked my socks off!

It was like being in the Hampton’s without ever having to leave Virginia Beach! In fact, we were right at Taste Unlimited on Shore Drive!

I attended to make sure everything was Instagram storied and had a blast! I am all about the Instagram story so I was in my element!

((Sunglasses // My dress is old Express but here are a few similar options: one, two, and three))

Shannon thought of everything! From this cotton candy machine to popsicles to boxwood covered bars, Rosé Day on the Bay was heaven!

I already can’t wait till next year!

Can you spot the cow with a flower crown? Oh and a caravan bar in the background? I told you, she thought of everything!

Not only was the event glamourous, but everyone there looked absolutely amazing! Even despite the Virginia Beach heat!

Shout out to Stay Focused Media for this awesome shot of Laurie from LB and Smith, Tommi from Shop Contravan, Sarah from Glow Apothecary, George from iheartfoodvb, and myself!

Shannon is a creative mind that helps me think outside of my usual safe box a lot and I am so thankful for that!

As a creative, I find myself in ruts sometimes but nothing a good Rosé Day on the Bay or social media content photoshoot involving bubble gum can’t fix!

If you’re a creative, I know you must find yourself in ruts like this…how do you conquer them?!
