You all are going to come to realize that I’m going to be talking a lot about Grapevine, TX on my blog. Living so close to a city that offers so much means that I’m driving over there a lot to play, and eat, and shop! This past week I was able to attend a gratis blogger reception at Grapevine Mills, a Simon Outlet Mall, to see a preview of the hottest summer fashions, hence the #SummerSizzle .
It’s great fun when you can invite a friend too, and my guest and I were treated to tasty fare provided by Cozymel’s restaurant. I should have taken pictures of the food, but quite honestly I was stuffing my face being a good hostess to the guest I brought along. Check out their website and if you live near a location or are traveling to one of the cities they are in, be sure to try them out.
I did manage to curb my appetite long enough to take a picture of the delicious brownies that were served along with the glass of red wine I was poured to complement it.
We were allowed a good amount of time to socialize with our guests and fellow bloggers, and then we were treated to a fashion show at Neiman Marcus Last Call to see the fashion styles that are popular this season.
So let me share them with you all!
Look #1 – Hot in Pink/Crossbody Bags/City Sandals
Top: W by Wilt, Jacket: Rebecca Minkoff, Jeans: 7 for All Mankind, Handbag: Botkier, Shoe: Neiman Marcus Private Label
Look #2 – Hot in Pink/Long and Fluid/Crossbody Bags
Dress: Neiman Marcus Private Label, Shoe: Eric Javits, Handbag: Botkier, Sunglasses: Valentino

So you can see the #SummerSizzle is all about pink, black & white, crossbody bags and wedges & espradilles (which I LOVE since I’m so short!).
I’m really partial to the dress in Look #2 although being so tiny, it’s hard for me to find Maxi Dresses that fit properly. I also really like the Jacket in Look #3.
Which of the above from Neiman Marcus Last Call is your favorite look? Make sure you stop by Grapevine Mills to snag the latest summer fashions at a great price. And if you don’t have a Last Call retail location near you be sure to check out what they have in stock online.
I love all the pretty sandals!
I love love love that patterned blazer.. the city in sandals look. That is me 100%!
I'm loving the orange dress and black and white print top.
OOH I love that red dress! Looks like you had a great time!
What fun! I love wearing black & white.
What a fun event! The red/pink colored dress is my favorite one!
That looks like such a fun way to spend a day!
I really like that first outfit!
I love all of the looks for the season, but I am particularly fond of those blazers, especially the white one! I have been on the hunt for the perfect white blazer for the past few weeks now. This one perfectly fits the bill.
Love that first jacket. I am not the most fashionable person, especially during summer when we are camping, but I would splurge for that.
I love the sandals in the first outfit. Glad you had a great time!
I like the second one but I don't really wear sleeveless dresses. Glad you had a fun day out with your friend!
All of the looks are ones I like! And the shoes are killer!
