On The Town: If I Must Exhibition & Fall Trend Preview

Last night was a two-for with local photographer Boswell Hardwick's If I Must exhibition and Neiman Marcus' Fall Trend Preview. The looks, as well as the photographs, were so chic. 

For the fall, expect to see (and want to purchase) bold golds and metallics, fall florals, velvet EVERYTHING, chokers, adorned shoes and dramatic eyes. For the fellas, you will see a lot of browns (from camel to whiskey), velvet, 70s swagger, attitude tees and statement top coats. As you can see in the photos below, the oh so fabulous team at Neiman Marcus styled all of these trends perfectly; I almost died when I saw that metallic skirt. 

I'd say it's worth it to take a walk through the store and look at the mannequins--there really aren't better dressed mannequins around town. Also, if you haven't seen Boswell's work head over to Neiman Marcus this weekend! It will be on display until Sunday. See, two great excused for you to pop into Neiman Marcus this weekend. You're welcome.

On The Town: Trendevous at Carson's

Twice a year, Carson’s at Laurel Park Place puts on a fabulous fashion show and shopping extravaganza and this fall show was no exception. It was an early Saturday morning but with the help of a smooth cup of joe and under-eye makeup we were ready. The day started out with a fashion show that included the Top 10 Fall Must Haves, the Ruff Hewn Grey trend, the Sporty Chic trend and outfit options for work, weekends and date nights. It was all pretty fabulous and once the fashion show concluded, guests were invited to shop the looks they just saw on the runway. It was genius. Each look was numbered, listed on the programs, and the clothes were put into their respective numbered sections throughout the store so people could buy exactly what they saw. Effortless shopping and styling at its finest.

If you felt major FOMO (fear of missing out) while reading this post, don’t stress too much. They have a spring show you can attend, and if you go to www.carsons.com, you can sign up to stay updated with all of their events. Voila!
