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,

Alternative Apparel PREview

last week Alternative Apparel hosted a small private party + preview for their Holiday 2011 & Spring 2012 lines. it was an absolute blast meeting the AA team, mingling with new Atlanta bloggers, FINALLY meeting Catherine of AsianCajuns in IRL-haha, dining on finger foods, and most importantly checking out the up-and-coming threads!
the team was very excited to share with us Alternative’s newest project, their very own lifestyle magazine – Common Thread…


Here’s a few flicks from the event + some of my favorite pages out of the first issue of COMMON THREAD:

AA_1
-in the issue they also share details about the new LA retail store
AA_LF_4
-said finger foods included (but were NOT limited to..) lamb slidders
-one thing i noticed very quickly about Alternative is they love their succulents even the restaurant/bar they chose had it’s very own succulent garden
AA_2
-a peek inside the LA store, nice decor-right?!
AA_3
-inspiration board
AA_LF_2
-give me anything polka-dot!
-on the right they have their ipad case, made of the prettiest leather
AA_5
-i was so happy to see one of my favorite Atlanta shops featured in the issue, Young Blood Gallery! they deserve a million shout-outs, filled to the brim with the best indie arts & crafts and amazing jewelry it was somewhat unhealthy living across the street for 12 months…too good!
-as it turns out Alternative originated in Atlanta then ended up spreading it’s wings to Los Angeles
AA_LF_1
-Liz, my +1 for the evening
outfit details: total dork and wore my Pamela Love tee printed on Alternative Apparel…tehehe!
UrbanOutfitters leather shorts & leopard booties

AA_LF_5
-two sweet hearts: Eboni of The Fashionista Next Door and Anastasia of Gamine

-the write up about Mollie Culligan and her awesome bags

i apologize for my tardiness of this post, the mart has been gearing up for the Apparel & Gift show which is now full-throttle meaning i’ve been working like a mad woman :( but i have treated myself to new dresses making it so worth it! also hit up Ladytron on Thursday night which was as stellar as i’d hoped it would be and more, definitely pleased the 18 year-old in me.

thanks again Alternative for the invite! i’ll be repping some of these styles in both the holiday & next Spring for sure-looooved it all-since the event i’ve worn my unisex tri-blend hoodie from the swagbags everyday [seriously.]

though i’m hustling in the showroom on this beautiful Saturday, have YOURSELF a wonderful weekend!
