Welcome to your Virtual Event Room!

Empowering women through fashion is something I had in mind even as a young girl, when I announced to my family that I was destined to become a clothing designer.Fast forward to now – I have been in the clothing industry for more than 20 years, most of them as a women's clothing designer. I've planned, designed and curated collections which have developed my eye for color, proportion, style and fit. In my design experience I learned how the power of clothes can truly impact your life.It was a natural pivot to translate this experience into working with individual clients to create wardrobes that they love and show them how important it is to embrace the body we have today. Through all the changes that happen in life, be it our bodies, our career or our age, we can embody our unique style so they can be seen as the valuable and fabulous women that they are.

After completing my education in design and business, I launched two successful brands:

Sara McNamara, a dress line that was sold nationwide in boutiques and department stores such as Nordstrom and Saks as well as being featured in Vogue, Bazaar, WWD,  and other leading fashion magazines.

And most recently, O'Shaughnessey, a line of equestrian lifestyle clothing which puts a modern twist on timeless traditions.

 My industry experience gives me a deep knowledge of the ways style impacts us all:  How different pieces look on different body types, how various items can combine to create signature looks, and—most importantly—how what you wear can change the way you feel. 

 I’m a lifelong equestrian, pilates fanatic, cook, wellness advocate and mother to 4 amazing kids. I’m happiest being close to the water and admire beauty in all forms, but am especially drawn to nature. I love travel and different cultures,  wandering through museums, gardens, hiking in the mountains, and of course animals (especially dogs and horses).
