Tonight was the very first night for Columbia Style Week. The event featured a pre-party with vendors at the Tapps Building. Later Wink Magazine’s 25 Most Beautiful People were announced, and there was an industry panel featuring Katie Kern, Anthony Simmons, Alicia Zeigler, Sonya Barnes, Sonia Hendrix,and  moderator Nathalie Gregg.

The panel was great! I learned a lot from the very inspirational panel. Three things I learned were get paid, keep my tradition of keeping a vision board, and no means next. Make sure you get your tickets for the rest of this week’s fashion shows and Summer Bridal Showcase.
