SUNDAY NEWS: STORE OPENINGS

Hello new and upcoming fashion mecca....I mean, that's what Miami is sure looking to be in the near future. If you thought Forever21 and H&M on Lincoln Road were a big deal, wait til I tell you more.

The Miami Design District is only getting better. As some of you may already know, this is already the home of Christian Louboutin and Marni. As retailers leave the infamous Bal Harbor Shops, they open up shop in this up and coming area in Miami's Midtown. Word on the street is that Cartier and Celine have just recently opened up shop. Yes, Celine. Andrea and I cannot obsesses over Celine anymore than we already do. Apart from these two top retailers Louis Vuitton will be opening up a temporary store on October 19th, and by the end of the year Emilio Pucci, Hermes and Dior Homme will be joining. If that isn't enough, Sephora, Givenchy, Fendi, Marc Jacobs and DVF are "heard" to be opening too. ::jumps of excitement::

I'm also sure most of you have already seen the renovation that Dadeland Mall is undergoing, once it is done it is going to hold 20 new retail stores which are not already in the mall and 6 new restaurants. This "wing" of the mall will be named "Fashion Runway" with the restaurant on the second level overlooking the first floor. Anybody wanna take a guess as to which stores will be opening there?

Don't go too far because we also have 6 new retailers opening up at Merrick Park in Coral Gables. If you were not able to make it to its annual Fashion's Night Out event in September, Jimmy Choo has recently opened. Apart from Jimmy Choo, other luxury retailers to open soon are JCrew, Onda de Mar, Agent Provacateur, Carlo Pazolini, and Pedini Miami. One of my favorite parts of Merrick Park is how it holds luxury designer stores from others parts of the world. Honestly, I think I'm mostly excited about another JCrew opening in Miami.

Last but not least, the Forever and H&M update:

Forever21 on Lincoln Road has been pushed back once again to open on October 20th. Girls, mark your calendars its going to be HUGEEE!!

H&M on the other hand, is planned to open right down the block and around the same time, and not too far in November will open it's multi-story location in Aventura Mall.

NYFW 2012

Oh New York Fashion Week....... So many styles, looks, collections, amazingness, awesomeness, drop-dead gorgeousness, i-wish-i-had-thatness....that I still can't decide which show was my favorite. So here, I bring you pics from my top...mmm 5 favorite shows, :)

Carolina never fails. I feel like this collection was young and fun. A range of oranges, teals, yellows, and beiges makes these pieces fun to put together. A constant trend throughout the show was the buttoned up shirt with a collar detail. Gives us ideas, a broche or a necklace with a statement pendant under our collar will do.

Also known for their tight slim fitting bandage dresses, I could not wait for this show to start. Leather details are still going to be in for Spring/Summer, making a definite statement and instant small waist. The details in this collection were incredible. They did it again.

Oh Rebecca, not only do your handbags drive me crazy but so do those printed flare pants. Some of the models dressed in all white with just a touch of detail kept me in awe. Rebecca's collection was very clean and fresh, yet young enough for the social butterfly. A little more casual and a bit bohemian chic. I love it!

Once I had seen the Mara Hoffman swimwear collection for Spring/Summer 2013 in MIami Fashion Week, I could not wait to see her clothing collection. Mara has to be one of my favorite designers because of her unique prints and colors. These pictures say it all. This collection was very tropical inspired, with bright colors and palm tree leaves in each models hair. Mara, you make me drool!

Wait! One more...I can't forget this one.

What would you if the rooftop elevator doors opened up to this? At this Nautica's Men's Collection Event....

XOXO,
Naty

THE GRAPHIC TEE

via Stylesightings

I've always been a fan of graphic tees. I have plenty of old t-shirts stashed into my drawers because they're incredibly easy to wear and they never go out of style. You can pair a graphic tee with just about anything and it will bring a complete different edge to an outfit. At the moment I'm really loving animal graphics a la Givenchy or band tees. They look really cool paired with girly or structured pieces like skirts and trouser pants; it creates the perfect contrast between casual and dressy.

XOXO
