Donni Charm Spring '13 Trunk Show

Scarves in my spring trunk show 

Trunk Show Donni Charm by gusta88 on Polyvore

WEEEEEEE spring trunk show!!! These are the scarves and colors that I will have for y'all. Echo is sold out online, but don't worry, mama's got it. A lot of these only have 1 or 2 left online, and they will most likely be sold out by the time my trunk show rolls around--which is why campus reps (aka me, hi) are so fun! Not to mention, discounts I can provide if you're a student at Tech. YAY~!~.

A lot of people ask me what my favorite scarves are.
For my spring trunk show, my favorites have to be zen together, bella and echo. I like to stick to the signature donni charm earthy-tones when it comes to my personal style, but I am a sucker for the lilac and pistachio colors of the bella scarves.

If you have a soft spot for lace, you will die for donni charm divine. I ordered a forever divine in white, which is an infinity-scarf version of the divine. Donni divine is also the only scarf available in desert rose, and I love that color.

One of my best sellers in my fall trunk show was the donni karma. I own it myself, and it's a reversible light blue/taupe light, fringe scarf. It's considered a "classic" for donni charm, and I had to bring it back for spring.

All of these are made of really light materials, so they won't weigh you down or make you hot this spring/summer. I've seen a lot of girls transform their scarf into a head piece for Coachella, or tie it to their beach bag/purse.

Jewelry in my spring trunk show

All the jewelry I ordered for my fall trunk show sold out the fastest. I thought I'd bring back the best sellers (wrap) in new colors, and include some of the spring collection jewelry. Donni Charm also recently came out with hair ties--WITH CUTE LITTLE WING CHARMS, of course.

My favorite item in their jewelry line this spring has to be donni groove. I mean, I ordered it in three colors.  

Ways to wear it

Notice the new donni charm muscle tanks in this picture! The yellow and sand-ish colored tanks, shown above, are the latest tee style in donni charm's spring '13 line. Super light-weight and easy-to-layer. Great for traveling or beach days.

If you know you want to buy one of the scarves or jewelry items before my trunk show (mid april), please leave a comment or text me! I'm getting the shipment in later this week and will have a trunk show soon after!

I ordered some scarves in a few different colors, but other than that there will only be one scarf in each style! AKA tell me ASAP so I can hold it for you. 

Look out for a Facebook event for the trunk show! :>

DONNI CHARM

HEY Y'ALL. 

I am now a campus rep for >>donni charm <<<and I am STOKED about it. What that means is I help spread the word about this amazingly inspiring line of scarves, clothes, and accessories. I will be hosting trunk shows throughout the year, and can offer students a 30% discount off all merchandise.

I REPEAT: 30% DISCOUNT FOR STUDENTS.

 Here is a little diddy I wrote about Donni Charm for The Odyssey, which is the greek newspaper I write for and slash am editor in chief of (oh p.s.s. always wanting more writers and sales execs, especially guys, especially sports writers, okay i'm done now)

:

Donni Charm is a unique line of scarves, jewelry, and clothes, created by Alyssa Wasko, a sophomore Kappa Kappa Gamma while attending the University of Arizona. This line is unique, not only because of the originality of the design, but also the story of how it began.

When Alyssa Wasko was in college, her father suffered a tragic accident that resulted in death. To help herself cope with the devastation, Alyssa channeled her emotions towards making special scarves. She used different fabrics and cutting styles, and adds a delicate “charm” to each garment.

Alyssa's creativity didn't only help her coping process, but has also touched the lives of others who have lost loved ones. Donni Charm scarves are particularly helpful because they are meant to "wrap around you" and hug you, much like the way past loved ones would. Each garment has a signature dangling charm, further reiterating the brand's overall originality. 

The name “Donni Charm” is a combination of her dad’s nickname, Donny, and what Alyssa was to her dad: a charm. What started as a hobby to help her cope with the death, blossomed into an international line of iconic scarves. Celebrities like Beyonce, Sarah Jessica Parker, Megan Fox, Jessica Alba, Naomi Watts, Vanessa Hudgens, Lo Bosworth, Whitney Port, Rihanna, Emily Maynard, Kim Kardashian, Isla Fischer, and more. It has been featured in major national publications like Vogue, Us Weekly, People Style Watch, Seventeen, and In Style just to name a few. Donni Charm has even been broadcasted on the news on Fox, Today Show, NBC, CBS, Extra TV, The View, KTLA, and more. This highly respected brand has grown to 500+ boutiques around the world, and gains more traction every day by means of campus representatives.

Donni Charm also donates generously to charities and organizations like Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation, Rubaga Friends, Race to erase MS, Susan G. Komen for the cure, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Teach for America, Smart Girls, and much much more.

One of the ways Donni Charm has grown so successful is by means of campus representatives. Donni Charm relies on eager college students to help spread the word of the inspirational brand, and even make commission selling them. Campus reps are responsible for hosting multiple trunkshows, managing inventory, and applying strong communication skills to develop social selling expertise.

In fact, I recently received an e-mail through the president of Kappa, informing our chapter that Donni Charm was seeking a representative for Texas Tech. Reading Alyssa’s story through the e-mail definitely moved me. I felt compelled to whip up a cover letter, and submit my resume immediately. I am now lucky enough to be the campus rep for Donni Charm at Tech!

I will be hosting a trunk show at the Kappa house in the near future (date to be determined) and would love for everyone interested to come and try/buy a scarf! The best part? If you order with me, I can hook you up with a sweet 30% off discount—even for online orders! If you are interested in getting a good deal on a truly great designer brand, just e-mail me, or follow me on Twitter (@Sassy_Neal) to stay updated on DC’s latest events at Tech!

My friend Kathryn Ross (@kitykatross) who takes GREAT photos did these for me.

I'm awkward as hell in this, BUT those little blurry dots are so cool I had to upload it.

I cut my face out of all of these A) because this blog post is about the scarves and not me, B) let's be real, I was having a great hair day and a horrid face day, DON'T YOU HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS????????? 

I have TONS more scarves with me for anyone to touch, feel, look through, try on, but I only wanted to open and wear a few of my favorites for this lil shoot. 

I'm having my first trunk show at the Kappa house November 19th, and maybe one in the Main st. condos before that. To stay updated on trunk shows, slash what I'm doing every 5 minutes, follow me on the TwItTeR: @Sassy_Neal plz 

This Week's Obsession: Floral Hairpiece

Lately I've been really drawn to floral headwear. I'm just really getting into the spirit of spring I guess????? With that said, happy Easter Sunday! (and April fools day, but I can't really wish you a proper April fool's day without first pranking you...)

I've been so inspired to make one of these, I finally just had to do it yesterday.

End result: 

Pinterest Inspo's:

My next flower hair piece will definitely be more on the dainty side. I might be more likely to wear it in public if it looks something like the last picture. But don't get me wrong---Easter weekend WILL be graced with my daisy hair piece!!!!!

Click here for a great DIY!!!!
