The Winner Is…Emilee Anne, Blogger On The CUSP!

Emilee Anne

Emilee Anne Hefflefinger, Blogger On The Cusp

Thank you to all who voted to decide our Blogger On The CUSP! We have had barrels of fun with all of our finalists throughout this campaign. And we are thrilled with the winner of the popular vote: Emilee Anne!  We’re presenting her gift card on Nov. 17, when she’ll be hosting festivities at our Downtown Dallas flagship, 2-4 pm. It’s a return to the mother ship for Emilee Anne Hefflefinger, a native of Dallas now living in New York. She attended Parsons School of Design, earning a bachelor’s in Fashion Design. She currently designs jewelry at Marc Jacobs and blogs after hours. She uses her blog to share inspiration, designs and favorite trends including current and vintage fashions. “I want to make an impact on the fashion industry and inspire people like the designers I admire have inspired me,” she says. We say she is the perfect embodiment of the CUSP slogan, Where Smart Meets Stylish. She’s just starting what will surely be a great career in fashion and media, and we’re proud to call her ours for the moment!

“Before I was able to attend a fashion design school, Neiman’s was my learning institution,” says Emilee. “Neiman Marcus introduced me to the designers I still admire today, like Marc Jacobs. Of course my mother and I love to shop, but what really made an impact on me was the opportunity to see the details and craftsmanship of designer garments in person throughout each season. This store, this home, fostered my love for fashion and made me the designer I am today. And for this reason, I am honored to be the Blogger on the Cusp!”

Seeing Things: Skyfall

Tom Ford Sunglasses

Tom Ford "Marko" Sunglasses

Confession: I go to James Bond films for the sole purpose of seeing Daniel Craig in a Tom Ford wardrobe, and Skyfall, the 23rd film in the series, will be no exception. Although one does get jaded by the multiple brand-fest that the films have become, the wardrobe truly is a treat for the sartorially aware. After all, you only see this much Tom Ford tailoring on a red carpet, in Tom Ford stores, or in NM stores. Skyfall comes to U.S. theaters this weekend. See if you can spot Tom Ford’s “Marko” polarized aviator sunglasses.
