CURE ON THE CATWALK

tonight i’ll be strutting the catwalk at the W Atlanta Hotel in Buckhead with breast cancer survivors alongside fellow Atlanta Style Bloggers. i had the pleasure of meeting and styling Lara at the Fab’rik in Buckhead and you can bet we had fun playing dressup! she trusted my “styling advice” and went with a dress she said she “would have never thought to even try on!” which ended up looking FABULOUS! though a last minute dilemma came up and she isn’t able to attend tonight’s event i know that our styling session meant a lot to both of us.

ON THE STREETS: NYFW

this season i’m doing my “coverage” of New York Fashion Week a little differently as websites such as Refinery 29, NY Mag, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar and Nasty Gal have made it possible with street style photography i’ve collected my favorite showgoer and model street style looks. it took perusing many hours, sifting through 100s and 100s of photos plus using Photoshop to make it all fit but here are my farovite looks from the streets of NY last week-

can you spot fellow lady bloggers On the Racks, Trop Rouge, Man Repeller, The Glamourai, Buro 24/7, Hanneli, Late Afternoon and The Blonde Salad? it’s really cool to see how blogging has changed over the years and how these hard working ladies are getting recognition for being the fashionistas they truly are and being placed on the same “level” as designers, models, magazine contributors and other fashion forward thinking individuals.

trends i spotted while surfing the street style scene from this years NYFW include:
-loud and bold printed pants in both flared and straight leg
-maxi dresses now with a new slit which i think will help make the maxi more flattering for different body types (and my girlfriends agreed when this was brought up in conversation!)
-wearing blazers on shoulders for a classy “im keeping warm but not too hot” look
-wide brim hats 
-lots of WHITE, creme and ivory
-menswear and tomboy looks
-dressing up vintage tees with a fancy skirt
-denim on denim
-neons mixed with black help carry this trend into Fall/Winter
-casual chic
-colorful reflective shades
-rigid, THICK fabrics

even though this post is PACKED with photos…there’s more! i really had a tough time narrowing it down to a reasonable amount so i’ve put the remaining photos on my LF Facebook page. 

if you went to Fashion Week, i am jealous. hopefully i can plan it right and ahead of time next year and snap some of my own street style pics!

Fashion’s Night Out

as most of you know last night was Fashion’s Night Out and even though Atlanta is not the most fashion forward city we did in fact have some cool events going on! i choose to hit up the G.Gilbert fashion show in White Provisions with my new blogger lady friend Natalie of Pocket of Presh.

we sipped wine and beers, nibbled on finger food from JCT Kitchen, Yeah Burger and Ormsby’s while watching ladies strut around the White Provisions attrium in pre-Fall fashions. here’s what we wore for the occasion:

great night with fabulous ladies, thanks G.Gilbert for hosting!

when i ACTUALLY have time to sift thru all the New York Fashion Week coverage i’ll be posting my favorite collections (which will most likely include Anne Sui, Alice + Olivia and other tokens i usually gravitate towards…)

hope everyone made it through the short week,
