South Walton fashion has changed so much over the years. Bathing suits and flip flops may always be the most popular ensemble, but make no mistake - fashion has officially moved into SoWal and taken a front seat.
The upscale shops around town are offering lines you find in big cities, as well as shoes and jewelry to boot.

We tried on clothes, swiped our plastic, and came away with some amazing threads.
