Fashion Wrap Up Launch Party


Yesterday I attended the launch party of the online magazine Fashion Wrap Up and it was everything I expected it to be.  Upon arrival I was greeted by the paparazzi who snapped pictures of me as I walked across the red carpet. The venue was absolutely amazing and perfect for the event. I loved it because it was both an indoor and outdoor party.

Once I made it inside the venue I instantly knew that it had all of the makings of a fabulous event! There was delicious food, vendors, a garden fashion show by Designer Gabriela Frezza of Gaby Couture and a live band outside. I was handed my VIP wristband and a "swag bag" then sent off to enjoy the evening! People were mingling and buying things from the vendors. Everyone looked like they were thoroughly enjoying themselves. This was definitely not a tshirt and jeans event. Everyone was dressed to impress. I met lots of fabulous people including celebrity MUA's Mikaela and Georgio Fernandez from Miami.

Once the band was done playing the fashion show started and one by one the models made their way from the staircase down the runway. Gaby was the only featured designer so the show only lasted about 20 minutes but it was a great show! The models did a great job and I was impressed. All in all this event was the perfect way to celebrate the launching of the website! Way to go Christy!!!!!

  2. Love your shoes. The model in the green dress looks like she should be on the cover of a high fashion magazine. She looks so high fashion. Wish I lived in Indiana so I could have gone to the event. Seems like it was a great event

  6. This review and the pictures made me feel like i was actually at the event. The only thing missing is what type of food and music they had. I love garden shows and fashion all together. I've checked out the fashion wrap up site and blog and they're awesome. Thanks for doing this for us who don't live there
