March is the perfect month for fashion. Well, ANY month is the perfect month for fashion to me, but if you're getting geared up for 2011's style trends and need a little inspiration, check out Charleston Fashion Week. Beginning tomorrow, March 22 through 26, the city of Charleston will transform into a fashion mecca.

Charleston Fashion Week was founded in 2007 and has been steadily growing ever since. With emerging designers coming from as far away as New York, Florida and Tennessee to great local talent from right here in North and South Carolina. This will be a first-time experience for me but I'm happy to say that even after attending NYFW shows, I am already impressed by the level of preparedness CFW has exhibited. Fashion is such a serious topic for me and my stylista friends, so event coordination and organization is key. So, where are all of Charlotte's most fashionable women going to be at least one or two plus days this week? Say it with me — CHARLESTON FASHION WEEK! It's a quick three-a-half-hour drive to Charleston, and there's so much to do there in addition to enjoying the fashion, there's no excuse not to make this a fabulous girls' weekend excursion. Luckily, tickets are still on sale and you can reserve yours here.

And for all of the soon-to-be brides of Charlotte who want to surpass the on-the-rack look and go for something truly unique for her special day, CFW is presenting its Bridal Show on Saturday, March 26. What a perfect gift to a bride-to-be from her wonderful maid of honor (hint hint).

It's time to hit the road ladies and gents, all in the name of Fashion. See you under the tents.
