The back to school season is quickly approaching therefore there is plenty to do before the first day of classes begin. In addition to shopping for essential school supplies, young fashionistas have the added pressure of also shopping for stylish and confident looks for the new school year.
One local event is making it easy and fun for young fashion lovers to shop to look their best while spending wisely. Simon Property Group, Inc.
