On Wednesday Aug 8th, I attended the Skaist Taylor Preview Party for their new Fall collection held at the Neiman Marcus in  Bal Harbour Florida.

This was an excellent event, just before the Fashion show began, SocialMiami.com’s fashion contributor, Elysze Held conducted a brief and entertaining question and answer session with Gela Nash Taylor and Pamela Skaist- Levy, the founders of Juicy Couture and designers of Skaist Taylor.

As if this spectacular fashion show was not enough, complimentary makeovers were also provided by Estee Lauder and Le Metier; mini manicures featuring Chanel’s fall color palette were provided by Midtown Miami’s Nail Bar  and cocktails were served courtesy of Chambord.

Here’s a sneak peak of the event:

Of course I had to grab a pic with one of my favorite fashion bloggers Niani Tolbert of The Fierce Fantasy

Model Serlena Breed worked the runway!!!

Now time for the ASMI outfit details! I knew for this event I wanted a simple but elegant look so I grabbed one of my ASMI fitted pencil dresses but it needed something extra to finish it and just a couple nights prior I  made a neck piece and the two worked well together!!

Here is the process broken down in one shot:

Angelina Jolie is a fan of Kate Middleton.  Jolie has invited the Duchess to the Olympics party she is throwing alongside fiance Brad Pitt. The Hollywood power couple have hired out London's Victoria and Albert and are hosting an Olympics-themed Night At The Museum.

The party, to take place on 25 July, two days before the official Olympics party, is to be held in honour of sporting heavyweight Muhammad Ali.

The glamorous soiree is intended to raise funds for the couple's chosen charity, Sports for Peace.
