Mingling with the XIX

It was such an honor to attend the 3rd Annual XIX Most Fashionable Women in Philadelphia. Being around so many influential woman who are recognized not only for their great sense of style, but also for their long-standing community service and involvement. Some of the women honored were Sarah Van Aken, Founder/CEO & Designer at SAVA and S.V.A. Holdings Corporation, Natalie Nixon, Associate Professor in the Fashion Merchandising Program and Director of the Strategic Design MBA at Philadelphia University and Kristen Laviolette, Supporter of Flyers Charities and Wife of Philadelphia Flyers Head Coach, Peter Laviolette. The event was held at the beautiful and fittingly titled XIX Restaurant at The Bellevue which gave attendee picturesque views of the city. This was my first time attending the event and I hope not the last.
