THE LINK REPORT – SPOTLIGHT ON ALBERTA FASHION WEEK

• Sneak-a-peek : On Wednesday May 18, Alberta Fashion Week opened its doors at the Nat Christie Centre for a sneak preview of all fashion goodies to come our way this weekend. Nifty little gift bags were handed out to the guests, red and white wines were being served and items from Mealan Boutique, Bellissima , and DW Fashion were being previewed at this open invite event.  Fashion bloggers KD Faustino and Ashley Chesney were there to report on the festivities and snapped a few shots of our lovely Calgary Fashion crew too! Visit The Girl with the Messy Hair and Lions Lace Lattes for more photos of the event.
