Nordstrom Holiday Party

The Nordstrom Holiday party is my favorite way to start the season off right! 

Despite the pouring rain, the store was packed.  Nordstrom was of course thoughtful and let everyone in early so we didn't have to wait outside.

This bottle of custom Nordstrom champagne was super cute!

 

 The spa was doing a complimentary Minx Nail.  I LOVE Minx!! 

 

Let me tell you ladies...getting your shoes shined while wearing them is truly a fun experience.  I had never had this done before and I'm getting all my shoes together that need polishing and going back ASAP.  I never understood what guys were talking about.  But I sure do now!

 

As you all know I'm shoe obsessed!  A long stop int the shoe department was a must.  Dior is definitely one of my favorites.

I'd love to thank Nordstrom for, once again, a fabulous night!  Always keeping it classy and festive.  

What is your favorite way to start the holiday season?

Thanks for stopping by.  Please leave a comment...they make my day!

 

OOTD & Neiman Marcus Holiday Party

I finally took a much needed little break from work and went out with the hubs for date night.  We decided to go out to dinner, shopping and a movie.  I wanted to stop by Neiman Marcus for their holiday party and that is where we snapped this pic.

I decided to mix it up a little and pair a sequin top with a leather jacket and boots.  Cobalt blue is so on trend this season and is such a great pop of color.  It really makes the outfit come to life.  I am absolutely crazy about this jacket.  And as you all know I love bling! So I added the sequin top and my bag.  This is a great go to date night outfit.

BTW...I had to stop by and take a picture with Hunky Santa. 

What do you love to wear out on date nights?

Leather Jacket: Royal Underground

Boots: Jimmy Choo

Jeans: C of H

Sequin Top: Forever 21

Purse: Loubuotin

The top two pairs can be found at Saks.  And the brogues on the bottom can be found on Net-a-Porter.

South Coast Plaza Tree Lighting

We had such a wonderful time tonight.  My husband and I went to the tree lighting for the South Coast Plaza.  We go every year!  The Segerstrom Family owns the South Coast Plaza and they run it with such class and style.  It is by far my favorite mall.  So back to the tree lighting.  First we attended a buffet dinner.  It was set up so gorgeous inside and out.  

 Upon arrival we were greeted by carolers. 

Then I got to meet Mrs. Claus & the Gingerbread Girls.

As you can see the ballroom of the Westin South Coast Plaza was decorated beautifully.  Who doesn't love an ice sculpture that looks like the carousel from the mall?  The buffet was amazing and the desserts were divine.   By the way, if you are ever in Orange County and need a place to stay I definitely recommend the Westin.

After dinner everyone received a cute Santa hat and went to watch the show.

  The show was put on by the Orange County High School for the Arts.  Featuring their Montage Orchestra.  The show was fantastic as always.  This is a very talented group of young adult entertainers.  

At the beginning of the show, they took a moment to acknowledge the troops who are not able to be with their families and loved ones, and reminded everyone to say "Thank You" if you should see any service members while you are out and about this season.

I love how the Segerstrom family loves to keep with traditions and is so family oriented.

  

The big moment was here!  The lighting of the tree!  If I do say so myself, it is the most beautiful tree ever and it is every year.  This year the tree is 96 feet tall and has over 20,000 lights.  It is breathtaking!!

Thank you for such a fantastic evening!!

 

Cusp opens in Neiman Marcus Fashion Island!

Cusp is a contemporary concept by Neiman Marcus.  Cusp hand delivers the latest must-haves from leading designers, plus the best up and coming names.  I know that I am a regular at their free standing location in the Century City Mall.  You can always find the cutest outfits there, and if I ever need a LBD, I'm sure to find one at Cusp.

I was invited to the Opening Party of Cusp at Neiman Marcus in Fashion Island.  Let me tell you, Cusp really knows how to throw a party!  There were so many goodies to eat and drink.  On top of that they had a lipstick reader, manicure stations, & blow outs. And of course some fierce fashion!

Here are some pictures from the event.

The beautiful models.

 
 Very Chic Bar.

The cookies were so yummy!

Yes please!  A manicure station with nail designs.  How cute is this little girl?!

 The Lipstick Reader.

 Of course I loved the shoes!

I had such a great time partying and shopping!  It's great to know that Cusp is growing and expanding to more locations.  Be sure to check it out to get your fashion fix.

Thank you for reading my post.  Have you been to a Cusp Store before?  What did you think of it?

Rachel Zoe Trunk Show Neiman Marcus Beverly Hills

Yesterday I attended my 2nd Rachel Zoe event at Neiman Marcus Beverly Hills.  Yes, I just said I got to meet her twice!  This event was a trunk show for her jewelry collection that will be arriving at all Neiman Marcus Stores in August.  It is to die for.  Absolutely AMAZING!  The jewelry is Sixties and Seventies Art Deco Style.  I can't even begin to tell you how fabulous it is! Here is a picture of Rachel wearing my favorite pieces from her collection.

It is so gorgeous! The gold, the tassels, the bling!

I couldn't resist trying on some items from her Fall 2012 Collection.  All of Rachel's designs fit impeccably and have a flair that is distinctively Rachel.  Each piece looks and feels like a one of a kind custom designed piece intended for only you.  I fell in love with and had to purchase the Hutton Tuxedo Jacket and Pants Suit. Rachel did not miss a thing on this one.  The jacket has a flattering slim fit and the matching pants are also slim fit with a boot cut. They are both perfect and are sure to flatter any figure.  The material is high quality and feels very luxurious.  In true Rachel style, this tuxedo suit has finishing touches including a satin lapel drawing attention inward and making a narrowing silhouette.  The inside of the sleeves are lined in black satin which is a nice touch if you wanted to roll up the cuff.  The pants also have a satin stripe running down sides to keep with the classic tuxedo look in the most feminine of ways.  Leave it to Rachel to design the new power suit.  Here are some pictures of it.

 You can purchase this suit here.

 These are some of the other items featured at the trunk show.  I'm definitely going to be getting in line for this must have leopard clutch!  The Fall 2012 Collection is Ah-mazing!

Grand Opening of Anthropologie at South Coast Plaza

Me and the hubs were invited to the Grand Opening of Anthropology at the South Coast Plaza.  It is a beautiful, very large store.  They have such a great assortment of fabulous things to buy.  There were refreshments and 10% of the evening's proceeds will benefit Arts Orange County.  We had a great time!
