I have a lot to say about the designers I met, the friends I made, and the runway shows and events. But first we're going to talk about what I wore to the events.

Hosted by 12th & Broad, the Music City Hair Ball was the first-of-its-kind event celebrating creative expression in the most absurd ways possible. As if all of this wasn't enticing enough proceeds from the event, as well as the silent auction featuring works of art and other goodies, benefitted AGAPE animal rescue.

Read MoreThis has been such an amazing week for me. I'm utterly, ecstatically exhausted. If there was ever any doubt about Nashville's growing influence and popularity as a fashion mecca for the South it was laid to rest by my experiences and interactions with Music City's fashion community.
