Atlanta Apparel Mart

I just arrived back to the beautiful Florida State University after a long weekend full of fashion shows, presentations, and shopping at the Apparel Mart in Atlanta, Georgia. This is the largest trade mart/trade show in the world with over 7 million square feet of space. It was incredible walking into what seemed like an endless building.

We got to speak with buyers from different companies and see some showrooms including David Tutera who makes beautiful bridal gowns as well as prom dresses.

My personal favorite show room was BCBG who has a permanent space where buyers from New York go to look at the new collections and chose what to put in their stores. 

Being able to attend the Atlanta mart was an incredible experience that was very insightful. If you ever have the opportunity to attend I would completely recommend it.

Zara Lace-Up High Heels

I love getting a new pair of shoes. Especially when they are a pair that I see as unique and thats what I saw with the Zara Lace-Up High Heels. With the great price point of $49.90 they were a great deal and very versatile. I can see myself dressing up a pair of ripped boyfriend jeans and a t-shirt with these or pairing them with a nice dress for a special event. They have the block heel that was all over the runway for fall and for the upcoming spring. The heels are 4.13" tall so they give you a nice hight but are extremely comfortable and easy to walk in. And of course I love the ballerina touch of the dainty laces (being and ex ballerina myself.)

Dolce and Gabbana Spring/Summer 2016

So I know I haven't been covering fashion week but after seeing the Dolce and Gabbana Spring/Summer 2016 show in Milan I’m squirming with excitement. I LOVE when spring/summer collections actually look like spring/summer collections- as in not every outfit is a dark, muted abstract design- don't get me wrong I’m obsessed with everything Alexander Wang, but its a nice change. For me spring/summer is the time to be fresh and fun and this collection did just that. The heart of Italy is captured in the graphic dresses and colorful headscarfs. I WANT EVERY PAIR OF SHOES. Block heels, pom poms, and random asian influences makeup this beautifully done collection. I love how simple the thought process was behind this line, but how detailed the pieces are. Going back to the roots of Italian fashion and using the traditional embroidery and embellishments make for gorgeous skirts and purses. Watching this show will not bore anyone and I couldn't help but smile at all of the fun and selfie-action. 

Here are a few of my favorite looks:

       I can see the middle girl vacationing in Capri.

Obsessed with this green metallic suit, and theres that Asian spice I mentioned on the right.

What did you think of the show?
