NM “Blogger On The Cusp” Competition

Posted on October 18, 2012 by Melanie Pace

Neiman Marcus recently launched a contest to find a fashion blogger that embodies the “CUSP” girl!

NM first launched the CUSP brand in 2006 with two freestanding stores that offered customers a contemporary assortment including apparel, shoes, handbags & accessories in a boutique environment. The brand has grown over time to include a total of six CUSP stores, CUSP.com & integration into the forty-two Neiman Marcus stores!

The contest runs from September 21 — November 15. Each entrant was asked to submit a portrait that captures the “essence of her personal style & the CUSP brand.”

This is the photo I chose!

Dress: Alice and Olivia, Neiman Marcus
Jacket: Skaist Taylor, Neiman Marcus
Handbag: DVF, Neiman Marcus
Necklaces/Ring: Neiman Marcus Cusp
Glasses: Tom Ford
Shoes: Jimmy Choo

In mid October, five finalists will be chosen by a panel of NM judges. Finalists will be given the opportunity to host a CUSP event for their friends at a local CUSP store or NM CUSP department. In addition, each finalist will receive a $1,000 gift card & opportunities at their local Neiman Marcus or CUSP to promote their in-store event!

Right now my photo is featured on CUSP’s Pinterest page – feel free to go like it or repin it!!

XOXO, Mel

LLS Segment: Prints

Posted on August 21, 2012 by Melanie Pace

This past week on Life Love Shopping, we talked about how to mix and match prints. I always say to pick one print that is easy and subtle to look at and then create a more dramatic print for the other piece. Here are 4 ways to mix and match prints for all ages and different price points as well.
