I attended Austin Fashion Week's Kickoff event last Friday at Speakeasy. What an amazing venue...3 levels, bowling, an amazing rooftop deck, and located in the heart of downtown Austin on Congress between 5th & 6th. The place was absolutely packed but had a great vibe. Models were style based off different eras and making their way through the venue showing off their looks...I was obsessed with the model from the 70's (see event photos here).

I attended the event solo, but knew I would run in to some of my favorite Austin bloggers - Jennifer & Melissa from Seek Wander Share, Dani Austin, Erica Louie, Ashley Hargrove, Courtney Shields, and Kaleigh.  I had a blast chatting with everyone! 

Right as Erica and I were about to leave, we were asked if we wanted some free champagne. Uhh...of course! So, we headed to the roof top, and ended up being a part of a promo video for the venue. Random, but fun. Erica and I got to spend some quality time chatting about our next ATX Blogger Mixer, and we are super excited!

I'm excited to be covering Austin Fashion Week this year from April 10-18th at Austin City Music Hall! It completed it's 6th year, and is now established as one of the premier fashion events in the Southern United States. Have you bought your tickets yet?!
