I’m Back: Alaska Adventures, COVID Recovery, and Fashion on the Horizon!

Hello, Fashion Denver family! 🌟

Brandi McMichael

After an absolutely breathtaking adventure to Alaska, I’m back and ready to dive headfirst into all things fashion! My trip wasn’t just about sightseeing; it was deeply personal and filled with unforgettable moments. From walking on a glacier to flying over the Kenai in my husband’s uncle’s plane, to spreading my momma’s ashes in the majestic Alaskan wilderness, it was a journey with family and wonder. I also got to visit all the old spots my husband grew up exploring, which made the trip even more meaningful.

But what truly made it special was getting my dad back up to Alaska! He used to be a pilot there years ago, so seeing him return to the place where he once soared through the skies felt like a full-circle moment. It was an incredible adventure filled with family, memories, and love.

Of course, my journey took a little unexpected turn with COVID (even I couldn’t escape it!), but after some downtime to recover and reflect, I’m feeling stronger and more inspired than ever!

Now that I’m back, I can’t wait to dive into what’s coming for Fashion Denver. Here’s a sneak peek of what’s on the … Read more!
