Where has the time gone? It's almost spring!

My apologies for such a long time between posts! It's just that once you've passed New Year's Eve, there isn't that much fashion to discuss. But with the advent of spring, ah, that's when our fashion hearts start singing for joy!

And to help hasten that fashion joy in we have a few exciting fashion updates for you.

1. Do you have your tickets for Birmingham Fashion Week? This is such a fun event. We can assure you that if fashion AND helping others is your passion, you'll enjoy every single date of Birmingham Fashion Week.

In fact, be sure and mark Feb. 26 on your calendar. The 16 semi-finalist in the Emerging Designer contest will be revealed at Saks at the Summit. Kimberley Newport-Mimran, President and Head Designer of the Pink Tartan line will be choosing one lucky winner who's design will then be featured on the runway during fashion week.

2. Did we mention design competition? Specifically the Belk Southern Designer's contest? You must check this out because if you win your designs could be featured at Belk and on Belk.com! With over 300 locations, that's Southern Fashion at it's best!
