Boston: Neiman Marcus, Fall Trends 2013
Neiman Marcus continued the Fall Trend Party (see part I, here) partnering up with Fashion Project for a fall fashion presentation by Andy Tabulina featuring gorgeous Maggie Models in all the trendy looks for the season: red as the new neutral, mini structured bags, and a little bit of borrowing from the boys.
Boston: Neiman Marcus, TRENDS for Fall!
I don't know about you, but I'm ready for fall!
Boston: Neiman Marcus, AnaMaria Pimental for SPRING!
Is it Spring, yet? Honestly, we're so close, yet so far.
At Neiman Marcus, at least, Spring was in the air, thanks to AnaMaria Pimental who is Neiman Marcus's Fashion Accessories Director. I was invited to photograph her colorful fashion presentation on all the trends coming up this season.
So, what's hot? Blues and oranges! As is, "relaxed chic" all the way down to a studded-toe Miu Miu sneaker! Also, prints are here to stay, which is good because I'm always a fan of a good dose of flowers.
Some of the highlights included this Judith Leiber William Crystal Frog purse, Charlotte Olympia shoes (the likes of which we've already raved about here) especially the Eiffel Tower sandals and the cute cat-face slippers. So, hooray for a range of flats and heels (like these amazing Alexander McQueen studded booties) for Spring.
And I picked up a fun styling tip for carrying a scarf: wrap it around the handle of your bag (as was done over this beautiful Nancy Gonzalez bag) making it look stylish and also easy to carry.
My favorite had to be this Alice + Olivia's embroidered jacket! How stunning, right? Styled with beautiful jewelry designed by Dina Mackney, the jacket looks polished and colorful!
So, come in from the cold and look ahead to a fashionable Spring with AnaMaria's cheery presentation of pretty looks on the always gorgeous Maggie models: Marie, Lauren, Marta and Amber.
Also, Roger Daltrey from The Who barely escaped my lens as he shopped! Thanks to Elizabeth for pointing him out to me, and to Lei Ann for capturing my photographer's stance!
What are you most looking forward to wearing this Spring?
Boston: Neiman Marcus, CUSP Preview Party!
I've been meaning to try Bar Method for over a year now. No, really. I meant to join a few of my favorite Boston bloggers at the studio in Boston, and never did, and now they're at Level 2, and I've still been meaing to go.
So, I was definitely excited to meet Bar Method Boston owner McKenzie Howarth at the Neiman Marcus CUSP Preview party and see some of the demos first hand!
Along with amazing Kate Somerville's Dermalquench facials, Estee Lauder spring make-overs and music by DJ Liz Ladoux, McKenize and Adrian demonstrated many a bar method move, making each look effortless and elegant.
They were even giving away passes to a MONTH of free classes! I think everyone who was at the CUSP party was inspired by them and (like me) immediately considering signing up for a class the next day.
In fact, I really am going tomorrow. I WON a month of free classes! I'm nervous. Wish me luck!
Have you tried Bar Method?
Boston: Neiman Marcus, Beauty Event Kickoff PARTY!
Neiman Marcus sure knows how to throw a party!
Last Thursday night's festivities to kick off the Beauty Event of the season was no exception.
Hosted by the amazing Katie Boyd of Miss Fit Gym, she was joined by the beautiful Miss Massachusetts, Miss Teen Massachusetts and Miss New Hampshire. Sterling Williams of Chanel created magic with his super team, and the gorgeous "belles" of Honeybelle Body Buffer Nancy Donahue and Susan Pasanen were there for a night of beauty.
Top ALL of that off with overflowing champagne?? That's a party!
And I was happy to capture all of it...
Neiman Marcus's Beauty Event is on until March 3 2013!
NYFW Candela SS2013 RTW
I'm such a huge fan of Candela...everything is bohemian and playful, demure and sweet.
Don't you want these beautiful head of braids and those SHOES?
It was nice to see Candela designer Gabriela Perezutti and Ken Downing, the Senior Vice President and Fashion Director at Neiman Marcus.
