I landed on the MOTHERSHIP known by Earthlings as Neiman Marcus. For as long as I can remember, I have had a gravitational pull towards my favorite department store…and my beacon lured me there this past Friday for a hip Fall fashion show. A trance like state ensued and here is what followed….
The guest list included a rather diverse crowd; Fabu fashionistas, some classy ladies and a couple of KLASSY BROADS. Catch my drift??? Wink, wink. In other words, just because a diva can spend some Benjamin’s…doesn’t mean she knows how to whip herself together. Guess it was a GOOD thing they came to the show.
Moving on from the guest list, there was a lovely spread of light bites and of course, cocktails…This IS Miami you know and a girl’s gotta have her bubbles to shop!
Fall fashions are not for the faint of heart. The must-haves are: Fur, leopard, lace, leather, pearls, SEQUINS, MORE SEQUINS and ALL OUT SEQUINS! Wanna be the talk of the town? Slide on a pair of sequined leggings with a top cut down to bare so you can sliver around town sashaying here and there.
Not feeling so brave, but still want to sparkle and shine? Try a tank sequined dress paired with a super soft leather bomber jacket embellished with a bit of faux fur. Finish this look with tights, ankle boots and hobo handbag.
“Not your Mother’s pearls” is the motto this season. Layer, layer, layer those necklaces both short and long…Try one of these looks, minus the price tags, of course. Duh!
One of the benefits of living in the warmth of the Sunshine state is it’s easy for die-hard fashion forward women to rock the shorts trend this season. Shorts are featured in sequins, wool and leather. Have long legs? Show-off your legs and shorts by sporting over-the-knee boots. You will be boot-i-licious!
For those who have to check in to the office, do not fret. There are polished looks that allow your inner fashion diva to say, “I am alive”! Look for suit jackets that have an added touch of femininity and add a ruffled blouse. P.S. Do not forget to invest in a flawless handbag. You’ll be ready to your thing.
Featured clothing can be found at: the Contemporary Department of Neiman Marcus, Village of Merrick Park, Coral Gables, Florida. Want to know the designer of a particular item…give me a holler.
