Yahhoooooooo! The time has finally come! The snow has melted and the sunshine is here and it’s time to officially start celebrating spring as we host our spring fashion market at the Grant-Humphreys mansion!
Free and open to the public, this event will feature 25 Fashion Denver designers, Crafty Ballyhoo designers in the ballroom, and a plethora of fun activities going on on the grounds of the mansion.

Today’s looks of the day are both spring-themed and feature pieces that are going to be in the market for sale and on the runway at the fashion show.
The first look is a dress from Gabriela Designs, a really nice stretchy dress in some great bold colors! I’ve paired it up with a big chunky blue necklace from Stranded Jewelry. I love the colors and the dress is nice and light, great for the warm weather that is headed our way!
The next look of the day is a bright blue beaded skirt from Sparkle Eyes that I’ve paired with a mini-dress from Gabriela Designs.
