Neiman Marcus is hosting an online design contest — show us how you would Rock the Prom! Indulge in luxurious Neiman Marcus dresses and accessories to create a look as glamorous and unique as you are. One lucky winner’s look will win a $1,000 Neiman Marcus gift card!

I had a big Texas-y post all ready to go for the holiday but it turns out there is BREAKING FASHION NEWS: On Thursday, March 4, Neiman Marcus at the Shops at Willow Bend in Plano is hosting the “Fashion Rules!” party from 6pm – 9pm. This will be a night to celebrate fashion, filled with all sorts of divine entertainments.

New restos, spring trend spotting, manly cupcakes, and vampire babies… all in today’s pile o’ fun!

Whether your style is Uptown Luxe, Relaxed & Refined, Indie Chic, Pure Polish or one of the other cute categories, Style Radar at Neiman-Marcus updates weekly to help you stay apprised of what’s hot in your favorite looks.

One Savvy way to find looks you like and can achieve is to see what the stylists are doing. This is where e-shopping comes in. Thanks to the internet we can shop anytime of day or night from the comfort of our couch, from any store or designer. We can browse for wild, crazy, practical, good value, couture, bleeding edge, cozy, glamorous or daytime, and gather inspiration along the way. Here are two great online portfolios of style to sample for ideas…
