I have had the honor and pleasure to be selected as one of the nine ambassadors for the AmericasMart in Atlanta. I would love to work for Atlanta Apparel and possibly intern. Being a Peach opens a lot of doors and it is a great way to meet a lot of companies during market.
See below some pictures from all the markets I worked for the 2019 season.
Here I am at the Kickoff Party on the first night of market! We were dressed by Sub Urban Riot this day! The clothes were very comfortable and I received many complements on my shirt!
Day two we were dressed by America and Beyond! These clothes are perfect for Spring break and summers at the beach! These were my favorite clothes to wear out of the whole week!
The third day we were dressed by Stated Apparel. This brand makes hip graphic tees and tanks. They are targeting the South for sure had lots of shirts about Georgia and Alabama.
During the summer of 2019 I worked the June Atlanta Apparel Market! See some of my favorite looks we wore below!
The Smith Agency, a premiere staffing agency, I work for hosted a pre-market Pink Pamper Party! This was such a fun way to kick off the market week! My boss hosted it at her home in Atlanta! Here I am with 2 other campus ambassadors.

My outfit: light pink A.L.C. crop top, pink vest from Elisabet Boutique in Auburn (last year), and my white Anthropologie shorts. I accessorized with a white Free People necklace and these cool silver earrings I found in Dallas.
Day 1's look was sponsored by Velvet Heart Clothing found in the Uncommon showroom. These jeans were so comfortable and everyone loved our striped shirts! Uncommon always sponsors us every market and they have so many cute lines!

Day 2 was my favorite! We were dressed in these adorable animal print outfits by America & Beyond. I wore a short dress, Kathrine wore a long maxi skirt, Bonnie wore pants, Anna wore a maxi dress and Sarah Kate wore a blouse. We received the most compliments this day without a doubt! America & Beyond is another brand that sponsors us a lot and I love their line!
This was the third day! We wore New Vintage tees. The line is very similar to Stated Apparel who I wore in February. They make southern tees especially for game days! The owner is always so nice and let's us pick out a free tee to keep! This was by far the most comfortable day!
The last day we did not have a sponsor so we wore our Peaches shirt with jeans and sandals. I bought this blazer and necklace after work at a showroom on the cash and carry floor. Of course, I wore my favorite Frame boyfriend jeans, TopShop belt and Eileen Fisher sandals!
Each day at the entrance there is a different line displayed. This was my favorite: Gracia! The line is based out of NYC, but founded by a Korean family. It's very dressy, but modern and trendy. I love the fringe pants and black pleather pleated long skirt!
Always fun to see Mg! War Damn! This is us at the Matisse + Coconuts by Matisse foot wear Kickoff Party on the first night of market.
One night we went out to dinner at Superica by the Atlanta Beltline. This was my outfit: pants from Charming Oaks in Auburn, shirt is from L.bartlett in Dallas and my sandals are Eileen Fisher. Superica was super yummy and I loved this area.
During the Atlanta Apparel August Market I had the pleasure of serving as a personal assistant to the Fashion Office. This job was a little different than being a Peach. I got to see another side of what all goes into putting on daily runway shows, and most of all the World of Prom runway show that takes place the first night of market. I assisted the team in the office with daily errands and duties they must fulfill to ensure that the week runs smoothly.
My last market with the Peaches! October market is the last market of the year and season. This market also features a live runway show. This show was styled by Atlanta blogger City Peach! I loved our outfits on the first day of market by Harper Wren!
America & Beyond is one of my favorite lines that always dress the Peaches! I loved my kimono!
Christmas time already? New Vintage always has the cutest tees, and sweatshirts! The owner let us keep our sweatshirt, and I can't wait to wear it for the holidays!
Here are some looks from the resort wear live runway show Atlanta Apparel puts on. Mireille (City Peach) did a fantastic job putting together the looks, the show was amazing!
Atlanta Apparel only features the live runway evening show twice a year at the October and April markets. I was so thrilled to be able to see at least one of the shows.
I am so thankful to have had this opportunity to represent Atlanta Apparel by serving as a brand ambassador. This job was such a rewarding experience, and I learned so much about wholesale, trade shows, and had the pleasure of meeting so many companies and business owners in the fashion industry. I may be back this upcoming summer to intern... stay tuned!
