My Pick of the Month...

We all know fashion gets recycled and this time it's all about the 50's. Pastels are clearly popular this season and coupled with 50's inspired fashion, it's like we've stepped into a retro candyland.  With a barrage of pastel hues this spring, mint green is the color that truly stands out.  This color is so fun & refreshing, it's no wonder many designers have used it in their Spring 2012 collections. Even our #1 selling Geranium item is this mint green color (MJN002).

Mention this post when you order and you'll receive 10% off my must have pieces from our Mint Julep collection - MJE004 & MJN006.  This offer is valid for the entire month of March.

What are some of your favorite trends this spring?

Sin City...

The POOL tradeshow is one of my favorite shows to attend through out show season and we just got back.  It is an eclectic mix of vendors and buyers and always a great place to people watch.  Although we were only there for a couple days we managed to snap a few photos for you all to enjoy!

The hotels in Las Vegas are amazing to say the least.  There is never a dull thing to look at around here!!

This show is all about self expression, art and music.  There were different artist though out the entire show and it was amazing to see them at work!

The new Geranium booth design, we LOVE it!!

Did You Know...

Did you know that there are 55 streets in Georgia with the name 'Peachtree'? 

Or that Atlanta has 130 retail centers and 54 public parks, and that the city is home to the 14th largest mall in the nation?

'The mall of Georgia' (We LOVE shopping when we are in Atlanta)

How about the fact that downtown Atlanta has one of the largest aquariums in the world and is home to 3 whale sharks!

With market season in full swing we have been all over the country, this past weekend Tina and Holly Essner exhibited in Atlanta for the apparel show for the first time.  It was a hit for us and we will surly be back! They snapped a few photos to share, we hope you enjoy! 

 

The dramatic layout of the Americasmart, such a unique building.



Order writing, one of our favorite things!!

We love fashion shows and lucky for us Atlanta Apparel has them twice a day!

Holly riding one of the largest escalators we have ever seen!  There are stairs you could take as well but we don't dare. :-)

It wouldn't be a trip to Atlanta with out a visit to Ikea and then spending the rest of the trip trying to figure out how we are going to get everything to fit in our suitcases!

My Pick of the Month..

Geranium’s Black and White Lucite Bangles

I know we're right smack dab in the middle of winter, but working in this industry has me already thinking about spring! This spring season, I love the crisp contrast between black and white.  A simple graphic pattern coupled with a pop of bold color gives black and white a modern twist.

This month, I'm obsessed with Geranium's Black and White lucite bangles.  I can't just wear one.  They look so good stacked!  I love wearing them with my Anthropologie striped skirt and vintage green top!  Take 10% off these bangles the entire month of February.  Just mention this promo to qualify for the discount.

My Kinda Town...

Working for Geranium we are lucky enough to have the opportunity to travel around to amazing cities!!  This past weekend was spent in Chicago exhibiting at the Stylemax show.  Check out some of the photos we collected while exploring the city in our free time.



Fun with instagram.
