High Point Furniture Market - My Top 10 People to Follow!!

           
















































I promised to share the top 10 people you should follow to find out what's hot, what's trending, best finds, and fun events....you got it! Its is the Style Spotters!!!  I am lucky to be on this year's panel. This will be my third market as a High Point Furniture Market Style Spotter. Our team will be searching  High Point Market for the hottest trends we can find. Our picks will be posted on the High Point Market Style Spotter Pinterest board.  You will have a chance to pin and repin items. The Style Spotter with the most repins and likes at the end of the voting period will win a free trip to the April 2014 Market and the title of "October 2013 Style Spotter".  This year's team consists of " Style Spotter alumni." We have been around the block spotting styles so it will be a lot of fun to see what this team curates.

Join The Style Spotter Event on Tues, Oct 22nd at 9am
IHFC Green Wing 11th floor Ballroom A

Come for a complimentary breakfast, while a panel of High Point Market Style Spotters share their favorite looks and on-trend products found at the High Point Market. Moderated by the winner of the Spring Market, Fall Market Style Spotter Michelle Wiebe, panelists include fellow Style Spotters Lisa Ferguson, Stacy Naquin and Traci Zeller.  Sponsored by IMC High Point Market Authority, breakfast and seminar are free of charge but Reservations are required by emailing phairr@imcenters.com

It will be especially interesting for me to hear this panel discussion, since I just returned from Masion & Objet in Paris and London Design Week.  I enjoyed spotting new trends in Europe.  It will be interesting to see if I spot many of the same trends while at market in High Point or if the European trends haven't hit here yet.  There is one trend in particular that I will be looking for and I'll share that before I leave for market. 


Follow along & vote for your favorites
