cocktails, crab cakes, and rebecca taylor

Last night, I headed to Neiman Marcus to meet designer Rebecca Taylor and view her Spring 2011 collection. I didn’t stay at the event long—only about an hour—but I definitely had fun. Petra, the department manager, introduced me to Rebecca (who said she liked my color blocking outfit, but more on that later). Rebecca is tiny, and has a cool accent (she’s from New Zealand) and a husband who’s from Dallas. Her spring line was full of fun and flirty pieces, including a camel-colored scalloped jacket I LOVE. After sipping on a Rebecca-tini (as Petra called them), checking out the line, and munching on crab cakes, I headed home, but not before I snapped a few shots.





















For the event, I tried the color blocking trend...



...which was inspired by this outfit from Shopbop's website.
