With the success of FFM, we’ve started an FFM Affiliate Program for the new year where interested fashionistas can bring bargain shoppers together in 2015, build their own following and have an FFM business of their own in their city – from Colorado Springs, Colorado to Houston, Texas. The FFM season starts March through November yearly – and held twice a month on the same dates in various cities.
Additionally we have carved out signature ‘Haute Experience’ events – roundtable of Beauty, Fashion and Lifestyle bloggers and brands – to connect fashion, beauty and lifestyle bloggers, vloggers and enthusiasts to network, to have open discussions and shared experiences.
