Doggies on the Catwalk is just one month away! [Do not wait to get your tickets!] The event is on Saturday June 13th in the Buckhead Atlanta courtyard. Runway show, dogs - all adoptable, silent auction, cocktails... Support the Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoption. Get Tickets now!
Dogs rule the world... okay??? We featured three doggies in the ad for Doggies on the Catwalk and two (human) models, who loved dogs. That was a must! Photographer (and #teamDoggies member) Tomas Espinoza and I set out to create an atmosphere that had all the chic of a fashion ad campaign but none of the pretense. The doggies, all from the Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoption, made this shoot the most fun ever! What happens behind-the-scenes? Take a look at our video!
You can also see the Doggies on the Catwalk full page ad in this month's The Atlantan!
**Tickets to Doggies on the Catwalk are only $50 and can be purchased through the Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoption's website. Direct links to tickets are also available on fashionado...
A huge thanks to the amazing and talented team that worked with me on the making of this ad!
MODELS: Wolfgang, APRA; Mason, Caliber; Emme, Click

Suspenders are one of the coolest men's accessories out there and yet not so many men wear them. Let's change that! Allow me to introduce you to JJ Suspenders - the greatest brand I've found on the market. The owner's of JJ Suspenders decided to start their own company of producing quality, hand-crafted suspenders after looking and looking for them in stores and online and not finding what they desired - I can totally relate to that! (In the photo above) I'm wearing JJ Suspenders in leather. These are sharp. Badass! I paired them up with a lavender Brooks Brothers shirt and Uniqlo jeans and I was good to go! The leather suspenders are adjustable through their handsome brass buckles and I've got to tell ya, the clip-on construction is very solid. I wore them all day. They provided that little extra oomph to my look.
Solids, stripes and patterns in a variety of widths, clips and buttons. These designer suspenders will help you rock a look or dress you up. Either way, it's a fashion win-win. You really need to check out the entire collection of JJ Suspenders because there is something there for every man, every look, every day!
It's difficult to imagine that things could get even more glamorous at Cannes in May during the annual Cannes Film Festival, but it's true. It's happening. The Cannes Fashion Festival, May 20-22 will run alongside the famous film festival and attract an international audience of trendsetters, jet-setters and fashion lovers.
There's already an abundance of fabulous fashion at the Cannes Film Festival - peruse through my photo gallery. Every A-list celeb at Cannes treats the world to a fashion show by wearing the leading labels on and off the red carpet. So really, it only makes sense that a festival dedicated to fashion would occur.
While the Cannes Fashion Festival is completely separate from the film festival, it will be happening at the same time. It's brilliant. The energy and enthusiasm is already established and empowered with the most famous names in the industry. Cannes Fashion Festival will be hosted at the luxurious Hotel Majestic Barrière, which happens to be at the heart of the action, and will feature a series of fashion runway shows from menswear to womenswear to accessories and swim. The Cannes Fashion Festival is truly "celebrating" fashion on an international platform and will be streaming live for everyone to experience the stylish three-day festivities.
I am beyond excited and honored to have been accredited as an Official Blogger of the Cannes Fashion Festival being selected from over 500 bloggers.
May is going to be EPIC.
Join me on October 9th as I host a "Kendra Gives Back Party" at Kendra Scott! Enjoy bubbly, bites and shopping with 20% of sales benefiting the Georgia Latino Film Festival. [ My documentary: Finding Dad: "Mira ... tu Papa" premieres on October 17th.]
Hope to see you on the 9th! AND bring a friend ... I'll help you choose the perfect Kendra Scott pieces! xo
