Hello, Miami!

This week it's back to reality. Two weeks ago was Spring Break and last week was a short week for me since I went down to South Florida for Miami Fashion Week! 

We were gone Wednesday to Sunday, making pit stops in O-town along the way. 

After we arrived in Miami we did a little sight seeing around South Beach!

It is absolutely gorgeous!

These night shots didn't turn out too great considering they were taken through the car window as we were going across the bridge back to downtown Miami, but I thought they still turned out pretty cool. 

And then the fun began.....

With fellow AATCC members from FSU we volunteered to help out with MFW. None of us really knew what to expect going into it, but it was a great experience!

We volunteered Friday and Saturday doing various tasks to set up the venue for each showcase. We were guided under the direction of the Catwalk Pros, a production company that specializes in the details of putting on a fashion show. We were fortunate enough to get the chance to work with awesome people in the fashion industry. We were able to get a behind the scenes look at what goes into a fashion show. 

All in all, it was an awesome experience, and we got these super cute shirts so it was all completely worth it!

We volunteered Friday afternoon and we got tickets to attend the show later that evening. After a quick run through the mall to pick up some new clothes and heels we headed back to the venue to watch the show!

We got to see collections from four designers from four different countries in one showcase. MFW is international, therefore each collection had its own unique personality. The collections we saw walk the runway were: Dolcevita Cashmere from Italy, Dusko Orascanin from Bosnia, Heidi Estrada from Bolivia and Claudia Anicy Manuguian from Chile. 

It is impossible for me and Amanda to be serious for more than 10 minutes. Sorry not sorry!

The show was fantastic and afterwards we got to walk around to the pop-up boutiques.

Also, I did not get to see the Rosa Clara Bridal Couture collection from Barcelona on Saturday night, but I  am obsessed with their dresses which you can see some photos of here. They are stunning!

Hope everyone is doing fantastic!

Love,
