Oh, Shop It: Spring is in the Air at Saks Troy

DGG was invited to the Spring Style Breakfast put on by the fabulous ladies at Saks Fifth Avenue Troy. Once everyone got their cinnamon rolls, muffins and fruit parfaits and coffee, Stylist Manager Shelli Pacioni started the Saks Hit List presentation.

Stars and Stripes was the first trend and it was amazing. From literal stars and stripes, to a looser interpretation of it with the colors of the flag, this trend is incredibly versatile and a great way to be patriotic without looking like your outfit is screaming "I LOVE AMERICA". Black and white was another great trend that just doesn't seem to quit - it's so versatile, can be dressed up and down and is easy to style.

On The Town: 3...2...1 (re)launch at Saks Troy

Arriving only 5 minutes late, the renewed Contemporary Department at Saks Fifth Avenue in Troy was already swimming with fashionistas sipping on champagne and grabbing a couple of light bites while walking through the store to enjoy the new view.

All of your favorite brands were on display including Elizabeth & James, Vince and Helmut Lange, along with new brand The Kooples, who sent a rep to the store for the special occasion. Once our flutes were full of bubbly, we made our way over to the runway for the show. It started with a dance team performing down the runway. They had impressive moves, and it was a great precursor to the fashion.

The fashion was outstanding, but I'm sure you already expected as much even if you weren't in attendance. Everything was springy, bright and already has me craving Spring dresses (I know, I know - Winter has only begun). Once the show was over, guests enjoyed more champagne and cocktails, more fashion and even a fashion sketch of themselves. If you're doing any holiday shopping at the Somerset Collection, make sure you stop by to see the new space!
