Project Emilie: A Hello Kitty Christmas

Em and I went Christmas clothes shopping last week.  The next day, we both wore the same Hello Kitty Christmas shirt and didn't even plan it!  Em accessorized her's with festive socks.  I opted for a faux fur vest.

Yes! Neiman Marcus + The Legacy

Me with Ken Downing

Yes!  That's what I said when I got the invite for the Yes! Event with Neiman Marcus and The Legacy at the Omni Dallas Hotel.  The party started right when I walked in.  I got to meet Ken Downing, Fashion Director and Brand Ambassador for Neiman Marcus.  After we shared a double kiss and some laughs, I sat down to lunch and a presentation from Neiman Marcus.  Neiman Marcus CEO Karen Katz and Ken Downing talked about the Spring 2013 "The List." They also shared that they see about 1,000 runway shows each season (lucky).  Some of the highlights of spring 2013, according to Mr. Downing, include orange, gladiator shoes, and print mania.  Plus, I got an exclusive look at "The Art of Fashion" campaign.  Apparently, the CEO, Karen Katz, was seeing it for the first time too.   It felt so exclusive!

The Yes! Event raises money for The Legacy, a retirement community.  My grandmother has stayed at The Legacy while recovering from a back injury.  I was visiting her when I just happened to see that Neiman Marcus was involved in the event.  It was great to see all the people there to support the cause.  Plus, there was a little fashion fun too!

Dorey AromaTherapy

I received a box of fabulous natural products from Dorey AromaTherapy last week.  The box smelled so good before I even opened it so I knew I would enjoy these products.  Aroma therapy is using essential oils for physical and psychological well-being.  What a nice treat for final exam study breaks!  Dorey AromaTherapy is a natural skincare line that brings "vitality into your life."  There are 4 areas of the product line: WellCare, BodyCare, SkinCare, and HomeCare.  I got to try the Emotional Support Cream, Organic Body Butters, and the Bath Fizzie products.  The Emotional Support Cream helps with stress, anxiety, and depression.  The Body Butters are so gentle on my sensitive skin.  They make my skin so soft.  And I LOVE bath stuff, so the Bath Fizzie Salts and Message in a Bubble Bath Fizzie are so relaxing.  And everything smells so good, of course. 

Emotional Support Cream

Mary Ellen Dorey is the owner of Dorey AromaTherapy, which is based in Plano, TX.  She's even been featured in WWD and The Dallas Morning News.   Ms. Dorey and I sat next to each other during the runway show at the Fashion Group International A Night of Stars.  We had such a fun time together ooo-ing and aaa-ing over clothes on the runway.  In addition to experience in the aroma therapy industry, Ms. Dorey has 25 years of experience in retail. 

This relaxing stuff from Dorey AromaTherapy has been so helpful during finals (one more to go!).  Check out her website!

Read Still Lolo!

Lauren Scruggs is a true inspiration.  A year ago, she was in a serious accident and has overcome so much.  But she's been so courageous and is now Still Lolo, which is the title of her new book.  I had the pleasure of meeting Lauren at the exclusive Jean Paul Gaultier media event at the Dallas Museum of Art in 2011.  She came up to me and introduced herself, saying she recognized me from the blogging world.  I was so excited when someone so huge in the fashion industry recognized me, a freshman at the time.  Even though I only met her once, she made such an impression on me.  Lauren writes an online magazine, Lolo Magazine and has her own fashion blog, Lolo.      


After finals, I'm looking forward to reading her book.  I am so excited for all of Lauren's success and all that she has overcome.  You can get her book at Barnes & Noble and Books A Million.

Target + Neiman Marcus Arrives TODAY!

I hurried to Target this morning to see the Target and Neiman Marcus collection in person.  This is a great paring.  You can really see the quality in each piece.  Surprisingly, my favorite part is the kid's clothes, like the Marchesa dresses.  This is legendary and I hope they decide to do it again!  Make sure you snatch up your favorites because they're going fast.  Shop the items below by clicking on the photo.
