Last night was my first official St. Louis Fashion Week event, outside of the kickoff party, of course! It was a Fashion Chat and Presentation at Neiman Marcus benefiting the Center of Creative Arts (COCA.) The presentation featured accessories by Lisa Freede and fashion picks from the Frank & Eileen and Jonathan Simkhai collections. I think the easiest way to sum up the night for you is to simply show you through photos.
Guys, I'm not sure what this even was - all I know was that it was topped with white chocolate chips, which basically gives me the green light to eat it.
Great turnout! Part of the fun is not only soaking in the runway fashion, but also enjoying the spectator fashion!
I keep wanting to call them the judges! NOT judges, *designers*
Lisa Freede, Jonathan Simkhai, Audrey McLoghlin (creative director of Frank & Eileen)
It was extra fun to check out everything up close and personal after the presentation was over. So tempting not to get one of each!
The presentation was a great mix of edgy, preppy, feminine, chic. A little something for everyone. Above are my favorite pieces of the night. Yes, that's a plaid elbow patch. And oh how I wish I could rock a cropped top! The geometry of the skirt is so fun, and the whole ensemble is made from scuba material, which provides extra structure that I love.
I feel like this event was a little teaser of what is to come! Tonight is another blogger event - a cocktail party, so to speak, and I'm looking forward to spending more time with some of the most fashionable people of St. Louis! As you can imagine, it's been very tough trying to outfit plan for all of this! The struggle is real!
