Freda Salvador Trunk Show
We are major fans of Freda Salvador, not only because their amazing footwear is uber-stylish and SF-hill friendly, but also becuase one half of the duo is a School of Fashion alum! Cristina Palomo, and her amazing partner Megan Papay, will be at Crimson Mim this Thursday showing off the Fall 2012 collection and chatting with Freda fans. We had a chance to check out the collection last week, and trust us, it’s all you could want an more.
