Fall Fashion at Vermillion
Filed Under Fashion
Last week I had the pleasure of attending Vermillion’s Fall Fashion Show. I have always dreamed of being front row at the 3.1 Phillip Lim show during New York’s Fashion Week, so it was wonderful to pretend I was rubbing elbows with Anna Wintour and Rachel Zoe for a skinny minute. But alas, that dream has not yet come true (I hope someday it will!) but Vermillion did such an amazing job with their fall fashion presentation it really was like they brought a piece of Bryant Park to Raleigh. Thank you Vermillion!
So my fashion partner in crime, Ellen, and I arrived at Vermillion and started off with petitie cupcakes from The Cupcake Shoppe and bubbly (don’t worry, just water for me). We then settled into our seats after browsing the racks of new arrivals for Fall. I kept my eye on a dress from TUCKER as Ellen swooned over an embellished dress from MEGAN PARK.
It was then….Showtime! At each seat was a program with all the “looks” and a Vermillion pencil for us to take notes with. I felt so official and convinced myself for a split second I was the buyer at Barney’s or Bergdorf’s.
We then oohhed and ahhed over the thirty some looks Vermillion put together. The models looked amazing with make-up done by Fiquet Bailey of Luxe Apothecary and hair by Glam Lounge. As Rachel Zoe would say, “I DIE”!
And how could you not go “Bananas” (another Zoe-ism) over this look featuring a blouse from TUCKER, BAJRA scarf, MIX jeans and BALENCIAGA handbag and flats.
I also loved this RAG & BONE leather dress with TULEX sweater coat, ANYA HINDMARCH handbag and LOEFFLER RANDALL red pumps. I can totally see the college version of Blair Waldorf pulling this look off on an evening out with Chuck Bass. You are watching season 3 of Gossip Girl on Monday nights, right?
And lastly, I wish I had an event that would justify purchasing this JASON WU dress with LULU FROSE necklace and LOEFFLER RANDALL cut-out bootie.
After the show I tried to squeeze my pregnant belly into a fab dress from Tucker but unfortunately such a dress will have to wait until post-baby so you better hurry in and grab it because I am sure it will go fast!
We then mingled and I nibbled on one more cupcake (the carrot cake was my fave) before my fashion dream was over and it was back to reality. I guess Bryant Park will have to wait but until then I can count on Vermillion to keep me looped in on the hottest looks.
Here is the complete show for you to look at.
Happy shopping and don’t forget to tell them you read it on The Shop Tart!
