This past week was my first time experiencing fashion at St. Louis Fashion Week. I had no idea that St. Louis even had it's own fashion week, so you KNOW I had to be there once I learned about it. From beginning to end, here's a look of what I saw at the Caleres Emerging Designer Fashion Show by the St. Louis Fashion Fund and Alive Magazine.
11:15 AM-3:59 PM: Filled the gas tank and sang in the car during my drive to St. Louis.
5:15PM: Rubbed elbows in Tiny Bar with Midwest Influencer Network bloggers.
