300 Frank Ogawa Plaza
Oakland, California

This exciting event will feature a runway show with WFO clients modeling expertly styled professional ensemble crafted by an arsenal of local fashion celebrities! The challenge for the celebrity stylists? Create two full runway-ready, head-to-toe ensembles for each model on a budget of no more than $300 total! Oh, and you can only shop at TJMaxx and Marshalls store locations in the Bay Area. Join us to see the extraordinary outfits they created and learn how you, too, can look and feel fabulous without 'breaking the bank'. Celebrity stylists include Absolutely Audrey, from View from the Bay, local jewelry designer Lori Bonn and Artificial Flavor clothing line founder Marcus Prado.

Kicking off the event will be an inspiring keynote address by Chip Conley, founder and president of the Joie de Vivre hotel chain and author of three books. Conley is the founder and CEO of Joie de Vivre Hospitality, California's largest boutique hotel company which was founded in 1987. Joie de Vivre was awarded the Second Best Place to Work in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2008. Chip and his company's time-tested techniques have been featured in TIME, Fast Company, Fortune, People and the Wall Street Journal.
