Valley girls gone wild

Being 66% girls, Belle Creative can’t wait for the inaugural Girlfriends Weekend happening this weekend in Sonoma Valley.  We’ll be out and about, bubbly in one hand, camera and truffles in the other (hopefully our lens won’t get too smudgy,) taking full advantage of the specials being offered at the Valley’s spas, boutiques, restaurants and other venerable establishments. It all starts with the kickoff cocktail party at the ever de rigeur EDK tomorrow (Friday the 26th) from 4:30-6:30.

We hope to see all your beautiful faces out there as the legions of ladies take over!

Sonoma Valley Girlfriends Weekend offers up the perfect chance for you and your favorite females to reconnect, relax and revel in the postcard spoils of Sonoma Valley.  Just 45 miles north of San Francisco, Sonoma Valley is California’s oldest Wine Country and a historic resort destination. For over a hundred years, we’ve played host to ladies who lunch, cowgirls on horseback, women wine-lovers and sophisticated spa-goers. Now it’s your turn! Join KGO’s Chris Brecher this March 26th through the 28th for a fabulous weekend of femme festivities—from luxury pampering to noshing on great wine and food. So come hike, bike, sip and swirl—just leave the man out of your plan.

The good people at KGO NewsTalk AM 810 are also helping to spread the word about this weekend—here’s a message we helped them craft:

Bryant Park West : a Sonoma Valley fashion show

Lights, camera, cab! Sonoma’s own Sarah Haggberg will be producing her 2nd annual Bryant Park West benefit fashion show in Sonoma this Janaury 30.  Last year, we helped her market and advertise an event that brought Project Runway’s Rami Kashou and his fashion-forward frocks to the catwalks of Sonoma’s Jacuzzi Family Winery. San Francisco Chronicle fashion editor Sylvia Rubin even declared Bryant Park West “the number one fashion event of the year.”

CycleSonoma logo

With the gleeful glide of a favorite Schwinn, we cruised alongside Chip Roberson of  CycleSonoma to create a new logo for this burgeoning organization of Valley cyclists.  By settling on a graphic inspired by the spokes of, naturally, a wheel—we enforced the obvious symbol of cycling while also hinting at a community hub, outward growth, moving forward and connectivity.

Ride on, Sonoma!
