Fashion's Night Out

One of my favorite nights in fashion has come and gone and it is none other then FASHION'S NIGHT OUT! The one night a year where the everyone dresses head to toe in their most fashionable looks and goes out for a night of drinking, fashion and shopping! 

My girls and I got dolled up and headed out to two events in Miami. 

Dress: Rehab Clothing, Shoes (not shown): Steve Madden, Clutch: Vintage

First we stopped at Merrick Park. The rain had scared away most of the guests, but a good amount of people remained. We saw a fashion show by Nordstrom with local designers being showcased and after headed to Neiman Marcus for the Ocean Drive party. Inside we found another fashion show being held along with a mani bar and braid bar where you could get your nails and hair done. They were also offering makeup touch ups along with some sweet treats and Grey Goose cocktails. Ocean Drive also had a photo booth which is always fun.

After some time there, we left and headed over to Lincoln Rd Mall on Miami Beach. Brilliance NY was having a in store event where you could get your hair and makeup down. You could also enjoy a fashion presentation by Mittmi by Danitzi. There was also so great deals going on. 

Overall FNO was fun, except this year the rain scared away the usual guests. I had a great time and can't wait for next year.

What did you do for FNO?

The 2012 Met Ball

Last night, celebrities and fashion icons flocked to the NYC for the most prestigious event, The Met Ball. It was held this year to mark the opening on the Costume Institute exhibition on Miuccia Prada and Elsa Schiaparelli. This ball is something everyone whose anyone wants to attend, and my invitation obviously got lost in the mail! This is the Oscars of Fashion! So who was there and what were they wearing? Let's take a look at the best and worst looks the gala had to offer.

Now, onto what in my opinion was some of the worst dressed attendees! I mean, what were they thinking?! 

 Love the dress, but the color washes her out and it's boring. Her hair is boring as well.

 Too much going on over here. If it didn't have the top piece, I'd be all for it.

Love everything, except the lip color and color of the dress needs to go..like yesterday.

 Now, the dress isn't too bad. I think it's made for a taller person, but she looks so depressed that this look s not working.

 I'm all for fashion risks and thinking outside the box, but I just can't with her dress. 

 Need I say anything?

 Apparently Beyonce wanted her Cher moment. I know you look good girl after you had a baby, but this is a no.

 The double belt doesn't do anything for me. It clashes with the print.

Okay Bruno, the fro. GET RID OF IT. You look like a chick. It's horrible.

Who was your favorite and least favorite of the night?

Designer Threads Without the Designer Prices.

For some of us fashionistas, our daily struggle is between our wallets and our need for fashion. If I have 20 bucks in my wallet and I need to pick between lunch and that super adorable necklace at Nordstrom, I'm gonna go with the necklace no doubt. I mean how can you expect me to leave something so fabulous?! But never fear dolls! I have found the answer to all our problems. If you're on a budget look no further then your local Nordstrom Rack, Loehmann's and TJ Maxx!

These stores offer great deals on high end merchandise. I love visiting these stores at least once a week and seeing what I can find. All of the stuff they carry is up to date and fashionable. You don't need to worry about popping in and only finding items your grandma would use. 

Steve by Steve Madden for $40. HALF OFF! c/o Nordstrom.com

Let's start off with Nordstrom Rack. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. I always go in for what I tell myself will be 10 minutes and end up walking out 2 hours and 100 bucks later. You can find great deals on bags, clothing and shoes! They have great deals on accessories too, but I never find anything worth my while in that part. Now the shoes are WOW!     You can find a pair of Tory Burch flats for only 75 bucks! You can't beat that. You can also find a ton of Steve Madden, Micheal Kors and Jeffery Campbell there for anywhere from 30-70% off. Half of my beautiful shoe collection is from here. They sell they same stuff you can find at Nordstrom, just cheaper. Now the bags are also an amazing deal. They had a beautiful Kate Space tote for $150 compared to the $280 retail price tag. They also have great prices on Micheal Kors bags. You can find lovely clothing for about 40-70% off as well. They have workout gear to gorgeous sheer maxi dresses perfect for the summer.

Kenneth Jay Lane for $264 vs $450!  c/o Loehmanns.com

Up next is Loehmann's! This fashion superstore offers 30-65% off top designers! This is any fashionistas dream. The only thing we love more then fashion is scoring an awesome deal on it. They have some amazing deals on sunglasses and jewelery. I found a pair of round Ray Bans for only $90! Their jewelery is always up to date. Right now the store is overflowing with large chain necklaces, bright bangles, gorgeous cocktail rings and beautiful, intricate earrings. Now, their bag collection is....breathtaking. They have Prada to MK and the prices that go with em' is equally as breathtaking. I've never really shopped their clothes or shoes, but according to my sources the deals you find are amazing.

Prada Heels for $299 vs $600! c/o TJ Maxx

Last but not least is TJ Maxx. TJ Maxx is more of a stop in and if your lucky you'll find something great and if not you wasted 10 minutes of your life. I always tend to find really great shoe deals here. I got a pair of gorgeous Cole Hann beige leather boots that retailed for $300 for a mere $80 bucks. It was such a great deal. They also have a great selection of Sam Edelman and Steve Madden shoes. One lucky friend of mine ever scored a pair of CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTINS! Yes ladies, a pair of her own red bottoms. I still feel envy towards her. TJ Maxx has some great bags as well. Their clothing is eh, but their bag and shoe collection make up for it.

So no matter what your budget may be, rest assure fashion lovers one of the three stores will have what your looking for and won't leave you with buyer's remorse once you leave the store. You can now eat your cake and have those really cute espadrilles too. What more could you want?

Trend Alert: Neon, Neon & More Neon!

No matter where you shop or where you go, you can be sure that you'll see something neon. Neon is the hottest thing for this Spring/Summer 2012. The brighter the better. If it's not loud and in your face, it's not neon enough. It's kinda like the 80s and 90s threw up all over us, but that doesn't mean I'm not utterly obsessed with this trend! 

Now wearing neon can be a bit tricky. You wanna keep it to one or two pieces of neon at a time. You don't want to end up looking like those bright-lite toys we had as a kid. Take the picture above, you can do a neon pink dress with neutral shoes or rock a blazer with those banging orange shorts. Also try the neon pants with a simple top and jacket. Try out a thin neon belt as well, you can wear your favorite LBD and accentuate your waist with the belt and your fashion ready.

If your not ready to try out a neon statement piece, you can simply rock this trend on your nails! Essie has adorable neon colors ranging from greens to over the top bright yellows. Get a mani/pedi with these little colors and you'll be ready to go. I personally love the neon pink and orange nail colors. 

You can also use neon in your shoes, jewelery or handbags. Forever 21 has some great neon jewelery, like the necklace shown below. I mean it has spikes and neon?! What more could a girl ask for? Oh and it's only $7.80! All you gotta do is throw on a pair of jeans, a cute sheer top & this necklace and your ready for anything.

Now neon handbags are a must. Whether it's a clutch, side bag or a big arm bag. I personally LOVE Steve Madden's neon side bag line. They range in sizes and come in neon green, purple, pink, orange and yellow. They have them in different sizes for $78-98 bucks. And if that's not in your budget, Target has similar bags for about $20-30 bucks each. Pair these bags with your outfit and your ready for spring time. I mean these bags are total attention grabbers.

Last but not least, you can rock the neon on your feet. Neon ballet flats are my personal favorite or those cute neon sandals for the beach. Steve Madden carries tons of neon shoe fashion. Your neon shoes can spice up any old outfit. Trade in your boring black ballet flats for a pop of color with a bright pink pair.

So what do you dolls think of this trend? You in or you out? I know I'm guilty of owning tons of neon clothing and accessories. I personally can't get enough of this trend!
