The Limited Store Launch

February 20th, 2012 | Posted in Fashion, Local by Meli

Attention local fashionistas! The Limited in Dadeland Mall has a new home (now between Macy’s and JCPenny’s) and they want to celebrate with you this Friday, February 24th, at noon! Come join in the ribbon cutting, raffle, store tours and free swag with all purchases. I don’t know about you, but that sounds like a great lunch break! Plus, I’ll be there! ;)

Curious about what has changed? A lot! But some of my favorite added features are buttons in the dressing room for more efficient service if, let’s say, you need another size or color, a sitting area and “Ebar” by the dressing room area for your friends and/or significant others to make their wait time a little more bearable (my hubs will definitely appreciate this one), and jewelry stands outside the rooms to make styling your outfit even easier! Plus, the store got a facelift – doesn’t it look gorgeous?

Hope to see you there – if not, visit The Limited on Facebook and stick around here on the blog. I’ll be giving away a mighty loaded gift card next week to one lucky reader to spend as they wish!

What I Wore: The Kills Concert

February 2nd, 2012 | Posted in Fashion, Local, Music by Meli

The Kills is one of my hubby’s favorite bands…and mine. For his birthday present, I got him tickets to see them in Paris last year during our Europe trip and they blew.us.away. So naturally when we found out they were going to play in South Florida, we had to get tickets once again. Holy hell. Why are they so amazing? Add front row status, and we almost couldn’t handle it. Alison Mosshart is electric, hot, and magnetic (Jamie, you are not far behind, my friend).

Which leads me into why these photos may be a little…well, awkward looking. They were taken outside the venue a couple of hours before doors opened and Alison was literally down the street. I just could not concentrate on my best “fashion blogger stance/face/pose” because the level of cool in the air was raised an infinite amount of notches and I just could not compete. So ridiculous giggles and weird contorted faces resulted instead. Sorry for that.
