Dear fellow fashion fans, you’re in for a real treat! I’m so excited to share these next few shows with you – pure fashion heaven! Our Saturday could not have been more hectic or more fun!

After the lovely gowns at Kenneth Poole we headed to back to the Piers for Junko Yoshioka (pronounced “june-co”). This collection featured classic silhouettes with modern twists. I’m especially fond of “Sofia” – the long-sleeved gown with dramatic keyhole back. But one of my favorite parts of this show had to be the beehive-esque hairstyles the models rocked! Y’all know I love big hair!

We couldn’t help but stop for a quick photo-opp in front of Tiffany & Co. as we hopped in the taxi to head to Reem Acra. Last year, Reem Acra featured very interesting lace hats with bunny ears and face coverings. Although not as Lady Gaga as her 2010 collection pieces, you still couldn’t help but take note of the innovative headpieces. Her collection featured tiered skirts and bountiful ruffles. I’m a fan! Are you?

As you might know, we’re quite the Amsale fans around these parts! Let me tell you, she did not disappoint! I literally died when the “Aspen” (the tulle ball gown skirt and beaded bateau neckline) hit the runway! It was like my Pan Am + Grace Kelly obsession all mixed into one with just the right amount of fancy glamour! Can I please be an Amsale girl?

After Amsale we had the hardest time catching a taxi! Not a one in sight! So what’s a girl to do? Run! Right through the massive crowds of people, some of which were dyed blue, carrying fake axes or dressed up like Rorschac for Comic Con ! And I might add that we did all this in heels! It’s all in the name of fashion, y’all! I sure was NOT missing the Monique Lhuillier show!

Never fear, we made it in time to see the whole fabulous lot of pretties! Monique describes this collection as “ethereal, dreamy, frothy and romantic.” I’d have to agree! How fun is the “Lili?” I think the LBD might actually have a little competition!

With that, we conclude our Saturday! Don’t fret, my pet! We’ll be back tomorrow with even more lace, tulle and taffeta! We’ve even got some behind-the-scenes fun with the incredibly awesome Trent Bailey, including me officially hailing my first cab!

Which gown is your favorite, so far? Would you rock the Reem Acra headpieces?

    Marissa, i have to agree with your love of ‘Sofia’ from Junko’s collection. Princess Kate certainly made sleaves proud this year but this has such a quirky, modern twist with the subtle stripes rather than the vintage look of the oh-so-popular lace numbers. love it! I could definitely see someone like Zooey Deschanel wearing a dress like Sofia!

    That last shot alone was worth running through the city in heels–so stunning! Loving the recaps, ladies! :)

Bridal Market is a bit crazy. As you may have seen in our tweets, you dash from show to show and barely have time to eat or see the city. We decided to take a break and change that! This post has a soundtrack, so put on some Jay-Z New York State of Mind and enjoy our romp through the city! Lara, Fred and I had some NY street food and headed to Rockefeller Center where we got to see a proposal on ice! She said YES! : )

Then, Fred decided to play paparazzi and shoot Lara and I walking through Times Square. It was so fun to play tourist for a New York minute! Thanks for these fun pics, Fred!

Back to Bridal Market goodness next… on my it’s so good!

Greetings from the Big Apple! This is Marissa and I couldn’t be more excited about my first post on Southern Weddings!  We hope y’all have been enjoying our tweet-coverage live from Bridal Market.  Lara and I hopped a plane on Friday to NYC in search of the hottest and most Southern dresses and accessories to share with y’all.  And let me tell you: these designers did not disappoint!  From the clean classic lines of Amsale to the dreamy romantic lace of Monique Lhuillier, it was a weekend of non-stop wedding wonder!  Not to mention, V3 has been circulating and making major waves here in the big city!

Bridal Market is a gathering of the best in bridal fashion from all over the world.  Think Fashion Week – only better – and we were thrilled to be invited to cover all the loveliness!  (Well, Lara was invited, and I convinced (more like begged) her to let me tag along.)  And boy, am I glad she said yes!  Noted style blogger and photographer, Fred Egan, was there to capture our adventures.  We’ve had such a blast so far!

First up was a private showing at Badgley Mischka. We loved the idea of jazzing up classic, simple gowns with a chic belt.  Of course, meeting the designers and seeing the always-dapper Colin Cowie was a major plus!

Photos above from Fred Egan and our iPhones. So so much more to come! Stay tuned y’all, and follow us on twitter for all the market party coverage from tonight!
