Look for the Deal Divas as Tampa Bay Fashion Week wraps tonight!
The day has come! It's the final night of Tampa Bay Fashion Week, and boy, are our feet tired. Have you been following along on our Storify? Do yourself a favor and check it out, if nothing else for the amazing Instagrams of outfits, sparkles and general YES from all around Tampa Bay. It has truly been an impressive week here for those concerned with art, fashion and business. Here's my recap of the events through Wednesday, including my minor outfit crisis that happened at the start of the week.
Tonight is the biggest event of all. Local designers will show their creations on the runway at the Ritz Ybor. Deal Divas Kameel and I will be there, along with our BRAND NEW DEAL DIVA, Marissa Lang! That's right, we have a new Diva starting next week! We'll give you the full treatment on her then, but for now, just rest assured we're going to initiate her real good by plopping her into the middle of the madness. Let's see if she still wants to stay afterward. (Something tells me she will.)
Follow along tonight on my Twitter, @stephhayes, and Kameel's Twitter, @cornandpotatoes. We'll load the net up with live coverage and pictures. Don't forget to tag your own photos and tweets with #tbfashion. We'll include all the best shots from tonight's show in the Storify tomorrow, and then we will take naps in ugly pajams full of rips and misery.
If you see us at the fashion show tonight, make sure to say hi! We LOVE that. For now, take a gander at a whole lot of Tampa funky, below.

Katie Sanders foolishly spurned pretty dresses and shoes as a child, tossing new clothes over her shoulder at birthday parties with a totally rude "no, thank you." Her drab days of monocolor outfits are over now, and she certainly knows better than to turn down free stuff. Her wardrobe mixes classic with quirk. Think blazers with statement necklaces, and lots of patterned ballet flats. She can be reached at 850) 224-7263 or 
Kameel Stanley has never encountered a thrift store she didn’t like. Her mother taught her that the true value of clothes isn’t how much they cost, but how many outfits one can create from them. Having grown up in Michigan, she was delighted to learn upon moving to Florida that she almost never needed to wear socks or boots again. There’s a lot of turnover in her closet, and she’s obsessed with dresses, necklaces and wedge heels. She can be reached at (727) 893-8643 or 
A disciple of the little black dress classics school, Letitia Stein stretches her budget by looking for styles with staying power. She lives for 80 percent off shoes at DSW, floral sundresses and bohemian chic tops. She confesses to being a bit of a snob when it comes to handbags and jewelry. She can be reached at (813) 226-3400 or 
From camo pants and construction boots to sundresses, sweaters and sling backs, Keyonna Summers knows how to make all of it rock -- at rock bottom prices. A Detroit native, Keyonna delves into her urban roots to find fashion pairings that give a nod to street fashion while maintaining the class of the modern, professional woman. She believes in searching for affordable clothes that look expensive and can easily be dressed up or down. You won't find plaid shirts or fleece jackets in her closet; the only hiking Keyonna does is to the bargain basement. She can be reached at (727) 445-4153 or
