Armani

I'm still in shock about what I'm about to tell you, but ... I shot an event for Armani last week.  The company's design team flew in from Milan to conduct a "styling seminar" in their boutique at Phipps Plaza.  It was all so unexpected and so much fun!  I'm still pinching myself to make sure that it really happened.

The boutique itself is really beautiful and (besides all the gorgeous clothes) has the most amazing collection of shoes and accessories.

Before the seminar started the guests were served drinks and hor d'oeuvres while they mixed and mingled.

The seminar turned out to be a mini-runway show of different looks created from pieces actually sold in the stores.

All-in-all it was a great time, but now I can't stop obsessing about all of the incredible clothes I saw and how great they would look hanging in my closet.  Oh well.  One day ...

I found this at a 2nd hand shop a little while ago and just had it framed.  I was so excited to see it because we had this same poster hanging up in my house when I was a kid and I think it's as hilarious today as I did back then.  It turns out that the background story behind it is almost as funny as the image itself.  If this poster makes you smile like it does for me every time I look at it, you should definitely order one for yourself!
