#MMLovesFashion: Front Row Charlotte

So if you follow me on Twitter or Pinterest, you are well aware that I like to think I'm supppppppper fashionable. (Lolz.) While I don't typically participate in the whimsical styling that is usually associated with runway shows, I  L O V E  to watch. Seriously, I think I'm an Olsen or something...

But anyway, back to the show. Front Row Charlotte is very unique in that it highlights multiple local boutiques, gives back to an amazing charity AND (as the name implies) everyone gets to sit #FRow. Clearly, I was loving it.

The lovely hosts, Erika Hanks and Joey Hewell, kicked off the show looking fabulous- seriously, I may or may not have snagged a couple snaps of Erika's heels to keep in mind for later. (Sidenote- I 100% did. #NoShame)

The local boutiques that were featured were Coral, Poole Shop, Coplon's, Our Place and Social Dress Shop. Seriously y'all, these places are unbelievable. Take a day trip up to Charlotte and get ready to melt your credit card. I WANTED EVERYTHING. No joke.

Heads up y'all, crop tops ain't going anywhereeee. Embrace them. (Just keep it ladylike...)

Clearly, I fell in love with this jumpsuit. Not only is it my color scheme (#AllBlackEverything) but it's by super fabulous, Southern designer Hunter Bell (who I cannot wait to see at Charleston Fashion Week!!!). Check out the rest of my favorite looks below-

(Like, shout out to editors, bloggers, Erika, etc. who take awesome pictures from runway shows... it was really hard.)

So I gave up on pictures and went with videos... way easier. Also, you can't really tell in this tiny video (not sure why it's so little...??) but the jewelry was AMAZING. Do you ever see something and literally GASP or start doing a little dance (just me? whatevz.) because it is just T H A T major? That's how I felt about the S. Carter Designs jewelry.

Love love love a good final walk. Because duh.

But the most amazing part of the night was when Erika and Joey presented the ladies of Baby Bundles with a check for $10,000. It's always so much nicer to attend a really great event that has a greater purpose. It made my cold, black heart so, very happy!

Erika- I WANT THOSE PANTS. Also, shout out to #TwitterBesties. (I have attended #NYFW vicariously through her tweets/instas twice now.)
So basically, I had an AHHHHHMAZING time and cannot wait for the next Front Row Charlotte show. Thank you to Erika and everyone at Front Row Charlotte for having me and congratulations on such a successful event!!
