Last week I got to attend Atlanta’s premier fashion week, RAGTRADE Atlanta as an All-Access blogger.  I was so honored to be involved with this organization again and see how far they’ve come since last year’s amazing line-up of events.  I’ll have my full runway re-cap up later this week, but until then, here are just a few of the sites and sounds from the whole week.  RAGTRADE definitely grew up and has me even more excited for next year’s programming.  I think it’s safe to say that this is now the official un-official Atlanta Fashion Week.

{RAGTRADE Atlanta kicked off at the Aloft Atlanta hotel downtown with sparkles & bubbles.  This hotel was the perfect setting for RAGTRADE’s 2015 Opening night with it’s fun mix of modern and urban decor.}

{Kick-off Party Outfit: Top / Pants / Shoes / Clutch}

{The Style Lounge had so many gorgeous items to shop before the show including vintage jewels, furs and sparkles.  Oh my!}

{I loved getting to catch up with Edmond and see his collection for Spring/Summer 2016.  I tried to get some Project Runway spoilers from him, but he was tight lipped}

{My All-Access status meant I got to slip backstage before the show to see what sort of shenanigans I could conjure up}

{Bobbi Brown make-up had all of the models looking gorgeous}

{Backstage right before the show was a whirlwind of action and excitement}

{Make-Up Row}

{We find our seats and they are front and center! Gotta love All-Access status}

{This guy was the best partner in crime and such a good sport to take so many gorgeous photos throughout the week long schedule of events.  Love you, Paul!!!}

{My cousin, Lisa, is on the planning committee for RAGTRADE and did an amazing job working with Dress for Success Atlanta and in the run-of-show the day of the runway.  Me and her husband, Evan, got to toast to her success after a year of working hard and volunteering her time.}

{My Alice + Olivia jacket garnered quite a bit of attention on the red carpet, but I can talk about my love for sequins and sparklers all day.  Full outfit details coming tomorrow.}

{I loved getting to meet Harrison Sapp from Gilty as Charged.  We inevitably found each other at all of the events, like this Sip ‘n Stroll at Phipps Plaza, and will hopefully keep bumping into each other around town.  Make sure you check out her blog as well!

Sip ‘n Stroll Outfit: Romper (on sale!!!) / Heels: Similar / Clutch: Vintage}

{I found a new favorite cocktail with 20 Grand Vodka in the middle of the Saks Atlanta beauty floor.  Vodka + Cognac!}

{A plate of warm, golden goodness was the perfect end to a week of beautiful fashion, amazing friends new and old, and too many hair styles outfits and heels to keep track of}
