Out of Office: The Kentucky Derby

Colorful, statement-making hats are the ultimate fashion trend at the Kentucky Derby.

Statement-making hats are de rigueur at the Kentucky Derby. This year they came in trendy neons.

Sisters and NM staffers Brooke and Tara Bukosky were off to the races this past weekend. Brooke, who works at NM as a financial analyst, and Tara, who works with the online team, attended the Kentucky Derby for their second year in a row – a family tradition in the making – for a weekend filled with horse racing, big hats, mint juleps, and fashion spectating. Brooke’s bet on “I’ll Have Another” paid off while Tara’s gamble, Bodemeister, came in second. Below, the Bukosky girls describe their Derby Day in their own words.

The 138th Kentucky Derby

The day brings other races before the main event.

Around the Office: Layered Wrists

Here at NM we adore so many jewelry designers that we could never bring ourselves to choose a favorite bracelet. We just pile them up: bundles of bangles, studded cuffs and strings of beads. The trend, known by many in the blogosphere as an “arm party,” is all about artful mixing. Stacking diverse adornments like Ashley Pittman horn bangles with Michael Kors and Michele watches, Tai hemp bracelets, and Kara Ross gold cuffs together creates an assemblage that reflects one’s personality and mood. Trendwise, we still love our Bold Gold, and it gets along perfectly with Color Blocking and Tribal.

Around the Office: Dramatic Earrings

“Nothing transforms a woman like lipstick, nail polish and earrings,” says NM styling director Darlys Michaelis. And it is certainly the case in our office, where Spring’s Dramatic Earring is in full swing. Dangling drops and colorful stones make irresistible face-framing statements. Naturally, the jewelry buying office is dripping with the latest shiny objects. On our recent visit, we spotted everything from Xabier Lopez’s Aldazabel pink and orange pave drops to Devon Leigh‘s hammered gold tiered triangle earrings. Of course if your office dress code is more conservative, use the power of earrings to transform your look from day to evening.

See how our ladies wear the look:

Store Soirée: The Stiletto Strut

Dallas women slipped into their highest stilettos and took a lap around the block of our flagship store for a charity last week. After the official sound-off the 200 or so strutted, sauntered and sashayed down the street in snakeskin YSL Tributes, jewel encrusted Miu Mius, glittering Christian Louboutins, neon Nicholas Kirkwoods, Brian Atwood pink pumps, striped Giuseppe Zanottis and whimsical Charlotte Olympias—to name a few. Post-strut the party continued inside the shoe department with champagne, bites and dancing. The annual event benefitted The Family Place.

Currently Coveting: Tom Ford Cat Eye Sunglasses

Tom Ford Nikita Cat Eye Sunglasses $360

Spring’s feline influence started last year, on the catwalk, in Paris. Remember the Givenchy Fall show? Panther-printed pencil skirts, felt hats with ears and cat-eye spectacles. Yes, it was quite the spectacle of spectacles on the catwalk — thick black frames to colorful lacquers.  Since then, the retro-inspired cat-eye silhouette has been spotted on celebrities and street-style darlings alike.  With summer quickly approaching, Tom Ford’s Nikita cat-eye sunglasses are quickly becoming the epitome of this classic trend.  The sleek exaggerated frames are the perfect accessory to summer’s retro-inspired bathing suits.

Shop Tom Ford at NeimanMarcus.com and Neiman Marcus stores. 

During the Savvy Chic Event, an exclusive bangle set is our gift with your $350 purchase in women’s apparel or accessories. Through Sunday, April 29.
