MNfashion Week was a blast this season. Here is what I loved about it and why you should go to the next one.
1. Getting a chance to see the Minneapolis fashion elite out and about….bloggers, magazine editors and designers. STAR STRUCK

2. Meeting new people in the fashion world and connecting with all the fabulous people making MNfashion week happen. CONNECTIONS

3. Visiting the Vintage City Classics Jewelry Studio and getting the chance to make my own earrings while there.  INSPIRATION

4. Finding new fashion designers that I love and knowing I must own one of their pieces- Raul Osorio.  OBSESSION

I had the privilege of starting out MNfashion Week at the Vintage City Classics studio on Monday night. Jen, Holly and Joan are the masterminds behind this fabulous jewelry line.  They take vintage jewels and reinvent them into modern pieces.  We got to take a peek into their creative process and make our own treasures at the studio which was such a treat.  If you want to buy a piece of your own, check out local boutiques June and Via’s Vintage. Become a fan on Facebook to be in the know of all the local trunk and fashion shows they are a part of!
