I have always looked at Los Angeles as being the mecca for all things fashion on the West Coast, therefore I jump on any chance to experience 'fashion' in Orange County. For the past  5 years, Style Week Orange County has graced the Irvine Spectrum and more recently, the Fashion Island Shopping Center with a week full of fashion shows, style and in-store events, and designer panels and interviews to name a few.

This year, Style Week OC has kicked off the fall season with 'Saturday Style', a 6-week series of style events held each Saturday that showcase various stores throughout both shopping centers. Festivities include clothing displays, live models, a DJ, refreshments, photobooths, and special promotions! You can read about the past two Saturday Style events on Style Week OC's blog, and look forward to upcoming events at the Irvine Spectrum & Fashion Island Shopping Centers this Saturday, August 25th!
