Putting together a flawless look can sometimes be a challenge. I dread those moments where you just can’t seem to find anything in your closet… even though you have a-zillion great options… and of course, to top it off, you have five minutes to get dressed (been there, done that and ladies, I hope it never happens again). Thankfully style expert, Laura Hunt, shares some “style strategies” to master the art of putting together a chic look in any situation, whether it’s for everyday casual or for a special occasion.

On April 9, 2011, Laura Hunt, image consultant and fashion/style expert, hosted Macy’s “Putting It All Together” fashion event. Laura is the founder and CEO of Freeway Fashion, an image consulting firm and fashion media resource (not to mention, Freeway Fashion is a sponsor of Fashion Week Tampa Bay). Macys’ shoppers participated in a fashion face-off to create the most fashionable and put-together look with the latest spring trends. Based on challenge scenarios like what to wear when you are sitting front row at Fashion Week Tampa Bay, contestants styled models with various pieces that completed and enhanced the model’s outfit.

Laura shared styling tips, outfit suggestions and spring 2011 trends with the audience. After a mini-runway show, the audience chose the winner of the fashion battle. She received a $100 Macy’s gift card and some other great prizes. Everyone left Macy’s as winners!
