Some Can't Miss Atlanta Fashion Events!

Here are a list of the upcoming fashion events happening in the Atlanta area that can't be missed! Mark your calendars!

New York Fashion Week kicks off this week, but you don't need to be in New York City to take part in some of fun fashion events. Here are a list of upcoming Atlanta events, that should not be missed!

Fashion's Night Out; Thursday, September 6th

This is the 4th Anniversary of FNO (Fashion's Night Out) started by Vogue editor Anna Wintour to help celebrate retail shopping. This is one of my favorite nights of the year where retailers create unique shopping experiences for their customers. Last year, I went to Jeffrey, saw ballroom dancers while sipping champagne and trying on shoes.  (Okay, I was also buying shoes...)
