TGIT! Thank God it’s Thursday! And this Thursday brings us the official start of Austin Fashion Week 2017!
Last year was my first year attending Austin Fashion Week and I fell in love! There were fashionable people everywhere and the fashion shows were something I have never experienced before in my life!
I had so much fun last year! I also had the opportunity to meet and talk with so many up-and-coming designers. I interviewed Lauren Nicole about her Fall/Winter 2016 line. I was able to meet and hang out with beauty vlogger Natalie from Ginger Me Glam. I was able to take in the amazingness that is Hues of Man!! This menswear, lifestyle, and culture blogger has IMPECCABLE style. I am happy I was able to meet and hang out with him for a bit. I also was able to invite the newly crowned Miss Austin Texas Latina, Katelyn Anzaldua, to join me on my second day at AFW 2016.
On top of those experiences, I was exposed to say many amazing fashion designs and fashion designers.
You can also say that I learned a lot and was left with a fashion itch.
Now, it’s been a WHOLE YEAR since my last Austin Fashion Week and we are ready to kick things off!!
