Greetings from Charlotte!

My Dear Fashionistas,

Vida Mexican Kitchen y Cantina

My trip to Charlotte, NC last weekend was surprisingly entertaining for two reasons - the city and the fashion show. Charlotte is a unique mix of metropilitan dynamic and southern charm.  Somehow, the food can be described the same way. On saturday night we had a delicious contemporary dinner and drinks at Vida Mexican Kitchen y Cantina and on Sunday morning we found a local "jewel", Mert's Heart and Soul, for our heartful Southern Cooking breakfast under $10.

Charlotte NC Fashion Week, which took place in the beautiful Founders Hall of the BOA building , included an array of local emerging designers - Republique Rouge,  Alana B. Couture Designs , Jen Jess S. Designs, Foxx Skynz, Gini By Elizabeth, Green Label Designs, Huckle & Gatsby, and 24/7 Goddess Designs. Nadia and I were most impressed by the young and talented Alana Britt of Alana B. Couture. Her bold, colorful, ready-to-wear designs display great execution and precision.

Charlotte NC Fashion Week will donate a portion of its proceeds to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central and Western NC.
