Jacksonville Fashion week 2013 was…. interesting. I could tell there was thought behind the runway and how everything was set up, in the sense it was more abstract than a typical runway. Out of the designers this year, the line up last year was better. This year, there were a few pieces in each of the lines that stood out, but as a collection, each piece should make a statement. But I digress…. This marked the 1 year anniversary of Styled By Blue, and I am more than grateful, and thankful, of all the success that has transpired just in one year. 2013 has treated me so well thus far, so I’m excited to see what else is in store. In whole, JFW was a nice production. It was a place for people to come and show off their personal style and talk about what was bigger than the show itself, which was fashion.

The latest location we used for the April editorial shoot for Certa Magazine.  I want to give a special thanks to Chuck, over at Dirty Blonde Salon, who pulled the strings to make this happen. Stay Tuned.
