Miami Swim Week 2011 | Haute Natured

Just when you thought Miami Swim Week was about as shallow as a Key Biscayne sandbar, here comes Haute Natured.

The first ever sustainable swimwear show in Miami Beach is bringing together eco-friendly designers Meadow, Eco Swim, Linda Loudermilk, and MAE to showcase swimsuits made of upcycled, repurposed, and even solar-powered materials! Models will appear to walk on water as they strut down The Setai's 50-foot glass catwalk in suits created from recycled bottles and military parachutes. Hosted by Mogul Events and ecosystM, the fashion fête doubles as a fundraiser benefitting the Seakeepers Society.

The carbon-neutral runway show is a first of its kind in more ways than one, as it'll also be the first event during Miami Fashion Week to be filmed in full High Definition 3D. (Poor models!)

Guests are invited to join Miami's eco-conscious A-list and executives from top environmental lifestyle brands for a green carpet at 9 P.M. followed by hors d'oeuvres and complimentary cocktails leading up to the four runway shows. VIP tickets are available for $50 and are 100% tax deductible.

Friday, July 15, 2011

Win This | Meet Rachel Zoe at Neiman Marcus

The Rachel Zoe Collection won't be in Neiman Marcus stores until next month, but fashion-files everywhere can get their hands on the highly anticipated duds right now on NeimanMarcus.com. The classic leopard print dress (left) and chic white pant suit are iconic Rachel Zoe looks and now on the top of my must have list.

To celebrate the virtual launch of RZ's Fall 2011 collection, Neiman's is giving one lucky fan the chance to meet Rachel and Neiman Marcus Fashion Director, Ken Downing, at their Los Angeles store. BANANAS! To sweeten the deal they're also throwing in a $2,500 Neiman Marcus gift card, surely providing for an OOC* fall wardrobe.

You have until July 18th to take the Oh So Zoe Challenge on Neiman Marcus' Facebook page for the chance to DIE... or literally win!


The interactive contest puts your Zoe prowess to the test as you become the stylist, creating your own looks with pieces from the Rachel Zoe Collection and Rachel's favorite designer jewelry. There's always a back-story to an RZ look, so once you've created your ensemble you'll have to describe it using your best Zoe lingo.

And if you don't style yourself to the top, no need to pout... Sources tell me the star stylist-turned-designer will be stopping by Neiman Marcus Coral Gables in the near future.

No, that's not a European model; that hot man is none other than shoe designer extraordinaire Brian Atwood. Brian was in Miami on April 27th to debut his new spring collection at Saks Bal Harbour. Socialites, fashionistas, shoe lovers, and of course Miami's most stylish bloggers (see above) joined B and Miami Magazine for an evening spent sipping complimentary Grey Goose cocktails and noshing on tasty mini cupcakes. Some well known faces making an appearance that night included Real Housewives of Miami alum Lea Black (in a very boring ensemble), and Haute Living Magazine's Fashion Director Jillian Sanz.

What I Wore | Pop-Up Shopping






I've had my eye on Gold Saturn, coveting the brand's much buzzed about Turband for quite some time now.  I got the opportunity to meet the brains behind the 'band last weekend as the local brand popped up at Villa 221 in Downtown Miami for the day. Fellow Miamian David Jon Acosta has managed to create a line of casually fabulous headbands, t-shirts, and dresses that have been featured in the pages of Teen Vogue, Nylon, and Ocean Drive, and worn by celebs like Kourtney Kardashian. David was as sweet as could be, even showing me the proper way to wear my new turband (seen above, one of three I took home!)

Try It On | Brahmin Anytime Tote


Brahmin's new "Anytime Tote" won't hit stores till later this month but as a Vogue Influencer Brahmin was kind enough to send us one!

This classic leather bag didn't get its name by accident; it is so versatile we'll be wearing this baby year-round. Whether you're toting it to work, yoga, or dinner with the girls, the size allows you to carry all of your necessities without being overwhelming. Pictured above in Clay (which matches with everything!) the tote is also available in a range of fun spring colors including Canary, Light Pink, Oyster, and Pistachio. 

The interior is lined in a coordinating Brahmin print and has plenty of pockets to store your blackberry, lipgloss, wallet, pens, makeup case, and water bottle with room to spare- making it the perfect bag for a girl on the go.

Thanks Brahmin!

Budget Babe: Aldo 'Euphrosine' Sandal Look for Less


These black gladiator sandals could have been separated at birth, but one of them will cost you double!

Meet Aldo's 'Euphrosine' and Target's Mossimo 'Panya' sandals. I guess Aldo is charging $50 for the fancy name? For that price you can get the Mossimo version in black and cognac, a steal at only $24.99. Added bonus? Panya has a tiny wedge heel, giving you an extra lift.

I laughed all the way to the bank after purchasing my Panya's and then finding Aldo's pricey copycat.

Budget Babe: Fall Trends for Less at Marshalls

When you think of discount retailers like Marshalls or T.J. Maxx what comes to mind? If you're thinking cheap, past season, or even damaged clothing you're not unlike most shoppers out there. What you don't know is that stores like Marshalls and T.J. Maxx actually carry some of the trendiest looks on the market, at 60% less than department and specialty stores. Plus they get new merchandise in every week, unlike department stores like Macy's and Nordstrom which only receive new shipments seasonally.

Letter from the Editor

My Fellow Fashionistas,

I just wanted to take a second to welcome you all back to Kelly's Kloset! I apologize for the lack of stylin' stories over the last couple of months- this summer has been a complete whirlwind for me! In early July I was blessed to receive a new title that changed my status from "former beauty queen" to the reigning Miss Earth Florida. In two short months the title has already taken me to compete nationally in Las Vegas, and appear at numerous events in and around South Florida to promote environmental awareness and green causes. It goes without saying that Florida's new "green queen" has also been busy checking out eco-friendly fashions, leading to yet another new role: I recently partnered with eco-fashion brand Ecoist as their newest guest blogger.

Though there have been many changes in my life recently, Kelly's Kloset will continue to be the same stylish source that you know and love—Bringing you my best on fashion, beauty, local designers, fashionable happenings and more! I've kicked off version 2.0 with a bang- announcing our first ever Giveaway. Get your entries in early, the prize is fabulous!

I appreciate your patience, comments, and above all your loyalty as I get back in the blogging groove.
 :)

Stay Stylish! ♥

What I Wore | Social Fashionista

Romper: BebeClutch: "Vintage" Banana RepublicNecklace: Forever21 (bargain buy!)




Mashable.com hosted a meet-up at The Pelican Hotel in Miami Beach this week to celebrate Social Media Day and your fearless fashion leader stopped in to make an appearance (albeit, fashionably late!)  I dressed up my basic romper with a fabulous new necklace I found at Forever21, and an old clutch that has been hiding in my closet for too long. Pairing a new accessory, like a statement necklace, with older pieces in your closet is a great inexpensive way to revive your wardrobe.

That night I had the pleasure of meeting my new pal, Salome aka Miss @NewTimesStreet, who looked quite chic in her LBD. Networking never felt so good when I ran into J. of FASHIFY, and got asked to be a contributing writer! Now that is a great way to celebrate Fashionista Friday!
