ith much anticipation, shoppers on the Emerald 

Coast participated in the fourth annual Passport to 

Fashion on Sunday, September 25. Stylish guests 

arrived dressed in their most fashion forward 

ensembles to enjoy an afternoon of sipping, socializing and 

shopping as they hit the red carpet to get their passports stamped 

as they shopped their way around the Sandestin Family Retail 

Shops located in the Village of Baytowne Wharf.

The morning started at Barefoot Princess and Island Clothiers, 

where guests walked the red carpet in style and were entertained 

with live music by Scott Rossman. Attendees were treated to 

a Bloody Mary bar, fresh fruit, pastries, omelet station and 

adorable high-heeled cupcakes. Shoppers continued their journey 

at Coconut Kidz Apparel and Toys where they enjoyed French 

toast with maple syrup, hash browns and a “mocktail” for the 

kids. Guests capped off their experience at Sandestin Clothing 

Company for chocolate covered strawberries and champagne. 

Once their passport was completely stamped, participants made 

their way back to Barefoot Princess and Island Clothiers to turn 

in their cards for the anticipated prize drawings. The stakes were 

high this year with the ultimate prize package valued at $2,600, 

including a four-night stay at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, 

and an additional drawing for a $100 Marlin Grill gift card.
