#NordstromJax: Gala Night

 Hello Fashionistas! As you may already know, yesterday was the Nordstrom Jacksonville Gala. Yes! I'm just now recovering from all the excitement from the previous night. I must warn you, this post is picture intensive so proceed with caution. Enjoy!

This hashtag wall was a huge success. Thanks again to Just Me aghan - a fellow blogger who pointed it out to me. Basically, all night if you shared any of your pics on Instagram and hashtagged #NordstromJax, your pic would be featured. How cool is that!?!

A grand total of $105,000 was raised for local charities (view here).

Majesty Fashion Show

I attended an awesome fashion show this past Friday night at Villa Savannah in support of the Rape Crisis Center. This store has beautiful jewelry, fashionable clothing and fabulous home decor. If you haven't visited Villa Savannah (located on Broughton Street), I highly recommend that you do, you will not be disappointed. I was also there to support Melissa Harris (above), the wonderful runway coach at the Harley-Davidson fashion show I participated in (See Here). 

What I love about Villa Savannah is the diversity they offer in women's apparel, jewelry and accessories. Pieces that are unique and one-of-a-kind (every girl loves that) will keep you ahead of the trend. Whether you are looking for a casual girls' night out outfit or going to a fancy cocktail dinner, you will find the perfect look and accessories to top it off. 

Visit them online Here.

Fendi-sation

I can't decide which of these two shoes I prefer. They both are gorgeous, but I think I like the first one better with the dress above. Which one do you like?

The bath & shower gel (above) and perfumed deodorant (below) are a perfect luxe gift set. Treat yourself or give as a gift at an affordable price. Find these products at Harrods - beauty section.

The Fall/Winter 2013-2014 fashion show.


Fendi is a family business made up of 5 sisters - although Karl Lagerfeld - joined the creative team in the 60s. Their mother and father, Adele Fendi and Eduardo, opened a leather goods and fur store in 1925. After the death of their father, the sisters took over the business, expanding on their individual interests, such as leather-wear, furs, public relations, etc. making the company what it is today. Fendi is known for the "baguette" and of course there signature double "F" logo, which Karl Lagerfeld played a role in. Check out the video above of the Fall/Winter collection, you won't be disappointed if you are a fan of Fendi.

Have a wonderful Monday!

Harley-Davidson : : Fashion Show

It was Customer Appreciation day at Savannah Harley-Davidson - good food, great fashion and lots of fun for the entire family. Did you know that Harley-Davidson was not just a bike company? They have a wide selection of apparel: Pink Collection, Kids Couture, Pajamas, Tropical wear and fabulous jewelry. Stop in at one of your local Harley-Davidson retailer to see what I'm talking about. Sorry guys! this is no longer just your playground :)

Is it wrong that I wanted to wear this flower in my hair?
