STLFW Wrap + Linkup

Alright, so this is a whopper of a post, but I have so much to catch up on and last week was crazy at work and I didn't get a chance to share everything from St. Louis Fashion Week.  So, today I'm sharing two outfits I wore to different events during STLFW, as well as overviews of the events...

Striped turtleneck [similar]   //  Gray poncho [similarexact available from The Fashion Lane Boutique  //  Black and silver bib necklace [exact]  //  Gunmetal drop earrings [exact c/o]  //  Black leggings [my fav]  //  Rebecca Minkoff mini avery [exactadditional options  //  Black ankle booties [similar]

This is what I wore to the Naturalizer Event and dinner at Element hosted by Collections by Joya.  It was perfect because it transitioned from the office (san statement necklace) to dinner after work.  

Dinner was incredible and I loved learning more about the fantastic ways Collections by Joya gives back.  The night started with a cocktail hour at Element, featuring their 'basic' cocktail created just for the bloggers; it was a pumpkin coffee cocktail.  How appropriate ;)  

The menu was a multi-course menu of small plates designed to share, and holy delicious.  The fresh burrata salad with beets, their frites, and the arrancini with black beans and cilantro sauce were a few of my favorite dishes.  I love the open kitchen and overall vibe of the restaurant too.  I will definitely be returning.

Collections by Joya created the cutest centerpieces featuring their subscription boxes, succulents, and fresh flowers.  One thing I love about blogger events is that nobody judges you for meticulously photographing your place setting, food before you eat it, and taking seflies galore ;)

This is a hybrid of what I wore to the Caleres Emerging Designers Show and the STLFW Wrap party at the Budweiser Brewhouse.  These shoes were a new purchase for Fashion Week and were SO comfortable, definitely worth it!


The show featured five emerging designers' collections, and the winner received $25,000.  


The wrap party at Ballpark Village was one of my favorite events.  We had a delicious dinner at the Budweiser Brewhouse, followed by a tour from their head beer guy.  Maybe I'm just a bad St. Louisan, but I hadn't seen Ballpark Village before, so it was awesome to get the full tour with all sorts of trivia from the resident expert.
