Fashion for Charity supports these causes by organizing events and mobilizing the fashion industry to support the community through proceeds raised in doing fashion events. Over the past three years, Fashion for Charity has raised more than 30k though these events and these proceeds have provided relief and dignity to local women and children, all victims of violence, abuse and neglect, and this year will support local victims of human trafficking.

Fashion’s Night Out (FNO) is an unprecedented global initiative created to celebrate fashion, restore consumer confidence, and boost the industry’s economy. In the United States, the program is a collaboration between American Vogue, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, NYC & Company, and the City of New York. On September 10, 2009, more than 700 stores stayed open late to put the fun back in shopping, with designer appearances, live windows, celebrity guests, and other special events. On the same night around the world, and led by twelve international Vogue editions (United Kingdom, Greece, Italy, Russia, France, Brazil, India, Spain, China, Germany, Japan, and Taiwan), each country tailored its Fashion’s Night Out celebration to appeal to its city’s unique retail environment.

Saks Fifth Avenue, one of the world’s preeminent specialty retailers, is renowned for its superlative American and international designer collections, its expertly edited assortment of handbags, shoes, jewelry, cosmetics and gifts, and the first-rate fashion expertise and exemplary client service of its Associates. Today, Saks operates 50 full-line stores in 24 states, 5 licensed stores in the Middle East and 1 licensed store in Mexico City, 55 Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH stores and saks.com, the company’s online store.

South Florida Malls Celebrate Moms at National Mom’s Nite 5/5/11

Posted on    by

South Florida Malls Celebrate Moms At “National Mom’s Nite Out” On Thurs., May 5
Coral Square Mall (Coral Springs): from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Dadeland Mall (Miami): 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Miami International Mall (Miami): from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Free Events to Feature Networking, Style Presentations and More

Simon Malls in South Florida invite moms to let their hair down at the 3rd Annual “National Mom’s Nite Out” on Thurs., May 5, 2011. This complimentary event is a guilt-free excuse for moms to take the night off to relax and enjoy a celebration of motherhood at the following:

“Our ‘Mom’s Nite Out’ will be the ultimate celebration of motherhood, and will include makeovers, entertainment, fashion tips, refreshments, goodie bags and more,” said Lynnette Lauria, portfolio vice president of marketing for Florida, Simon Property Group. “Moms need to have time away from their kids and husbands, to enjoy themselves and get pampered a little. This will be the perfect time to do that.”

Fifteen million moms are expected to take part in this national event. Moms across the United States will unite in celebrating motherhood with each other via local and national events as well as cyber celebrations. Organized by Maria Bailey, CEO of BSM Media, author and Mom Talk Radio host, National Mom’s Nite Out unites social media groups, companies, local playgroups, mom bloggers and networks in giving moms a well-deserved night off. Bailey organized the first National Mom’s Nite Out after watching moms take care of everyone else on Mother’s Day, but never themselves.

“We created National Mom’s Nite Out because so many of today’s moms spend Mother’s Day focused on catering to the needs of others” said Maria Bailey, ‘National Mom’s Nite Out’ organizer and mother of four. “We decided that moms deserve one night off from cooking, cleaning and responsibility and need time to celebrate motherhood with each other.”

Simon Property Group is hosting “National Mom’s Nite Out” at 115 of its malls across the country. All activities are free and open to moms of all ages.

“As consumer confidence returns, families are starting to add the experience of a shared vacation back into their budgets,” said Will Seccombe, Chief Marketing Officer for VISIT FLORIDA. “Now, more than ever, it’s important for us to remind families about all there is to see and do in the Sunshine State. Partnering with Simon Property Group on the Mom’s Night Out program is a tremendous opportunity to encourage thousands of travel planning decision makers to ‘Share A Little Sunshine’ with their family and friends.”

‘Share a Little Sunshine’ is a statewide, grassroots tourism advocacy campaign that encourages all Floridians to send a personal e-mail to out-of-state friends and family inviting them to visit the Sunshine State. This social media driven campaign asks Florida residents and fans to do their part to make a positive impact on Florida’s economy, while having fun with friends and loved ones. By inviting friends and family for a vacation, Floridians can create jobs and positively impact Florida’s economy.

Upper Eastside Farmer’s Market at Biscayne Plaza 2/26/11

Posted on    by

Terranova Launches Home Grown Farmers’ Market At Biscayne Plaza
Biscayne Plaza
561 NE 79th Street
More Info.

This seasonal market, taking place every Saturday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, beginning February 19, 2011 and ending May 28, 2011, will feature a variety of locally grown fresh produce, fresh tropical juices prepared on site, artisan breads, local honey, and some prepared foods.

The Upper Eastside Farmer’s Market at Biscayne Plaza will be held at the northeast lot of Biscayne Plaza Shopping Center closest to 81st street and Biscayne Blvd. Terranova is working with Urban Oasis Project, a local not-for-profit corporation and Urban Oasis Project Founder Melissa M. Contreras to produce the market.

“We expect this market to be a celebration of local food, real food without chemicals, made available to all people, regardless of economic and social barriers,” said Contreras. “We expect to attract both high income and low income customers, and expect this market to serve both. Farmers’ markets are a great equalizer, and rich and poor shop side-by-side, as our common denominator, food, brings us together. We expect to educate and inform the public regarding local food issues.”

The Upper Eastside Farmer’s Market at Biscayne Plaza is an environmentally-friendly market. The organizers encourage the use of recyclable or biodegradable disposables, and will collect vegetable scraps for compost to be used in the Urban Oasis gardens built in under-served areas. In addition, Urban Oasis will provide a $10 matching program for all users of EBT, per market day, in the form of tokens or immediate credit, to be spent on fresh fruits and vegetables.

The Upper Eastside Farmer’s Market is the latest project to be hosted by Terranova at Biscayne Plaza Shopping Center. On Thursday, February 3rd the Street Food Court at Biscayne Plaza food truck dinner series debuted featuring Miami’s top-rated mobile food vendors. Every Thursday the food trucks are parked in the northeast lot of Biscayne Plaza from 5:30 – 9:30 PM.

Located at 561 NE 79th Street, Biscayne Plaza serves as a lasting retail staple to the surrounding areas of Miami’s Upper Eastside. Built in 1953, it is known as Miami’s first major suburban shopping center, and lies just north of the historic Miami Modern District. Biscayne Plaza bridges a unique array of urban and suburban communities such as Miami Shores, Little Haiti, Belle Meade, and El Portal.

“The Upper Eastside Farmer’s Market and the Street Food Court at Biscayne Plaza are community-building initiatives aimed at helping to redevelop the upper eastside of Miami and to re-position Biscayne Plaza Shopping Center, once the neighborhood’s preeminent shopping destination, as a viable retail location,” said Kelliann McDonald, Terranova Marketing and Public Relations Manager. “We invite our upper eastside neighbors to come out, meet and mingle. We are looking forward to a thriving community event series.”

Downy® And Macy’s Partner To Bring Magic of “Clean Sheet Week” to Life
Macy’s Dadeland

January 26, 2011
Activities: 12-4PM
Food: 12-2PM

Consumer Event to Take Place in Macy’s Dadeland with Live Music, Gifts and More

Procter and Gamble’s (NYSE:PG) Downy fabric softener and Macy’s (NYSE:M) have partnered to bring consumers an incomparable bedroom experience by combining the “magic” of Macy’s sheets with the long-lasting freshness benefits of Ultra Downy April Fresh. To help consumers achieve this experience, Downy and Macy’s will encourage them to take the “Clean Sheet Week” Challenge by using Ultra Downy April Fresh on their new sheets from Macy’s and discover the long-lasting fresh result. To encourage this, Macy’s Dadeland will host an exciting event with live entertainment, giveaways and more. Also, the store will hand out a special, limited-time only Downy gift with purchases of any sheets. The gift-with-purchase will include a sample of Ultra Downy April Fresh and a $1 coupon for a full size bottle of the product, which can be redeemed at any retailer where Downy is sold.

A National Sleep Foundation 2010 Bedroom Poll, made possible by an educational grant from Downy, inspired the Downy and Macy’s partnership when it revealed numerous insights about the relationship between sleep and sheets with a fresh scent. Downy and Macy’s would like consumers to take the “Clean Sheet Week” Challenge, given the Poll findings that revealed seven out of ten people claim to get a more comfortable night’s rest on sheets with a fresh scent and eight out of ten people wash their sheets after purchasing them.

Abnormal Ariginals Refreshes the Miami Market with its Peculiar Original Factor

Posted on    by

Abnormal Ariginals Refreshes the Miami Market with its Peculiar Original Factor
Miami Based Line Conquers the Streets with Its Fresh Take of Urban Chic

Welcoming abnormality and appreciating what is original, perfectly describes this new Miami based line. Inspired by pieces that reflect the minds of its designers, it brings out a sense of freedom in a crowded fashion industry of cookie cutters that lack any distinguishing characteristics.

Founded by De’Hollie Wood and Anthony Shaw, two young entrepreneurs with an immense amount of fashion potential, bring to life this new lifestyle brand. For the past couple of years, they have cultivated their ground and are finally ready to spread their empire, one step at a time. Abnormal Ariginals’ first introduction into the fashion industry is their latest collection of men and women’s T-shirt, with a vast variety of designs and graphics to choose from. They share one similar ingredient, originality, but in this case “ariginality”.

“People nowadays crave that IT factor, the one that sets individuals apart. There was a time when being “different” was not a good thing, you were considered an outcast and left in the dark. Abnormal Ariginals has replaced “what supposedly is” and taken it to a higher level of creation” states De’Hollie Wood, CEO of Abnormal Ariginals. Its present collection reflects the distaste of monotony apparel while offering a set of new and wearable proposals. Their first collection, titled Welcoming Abnormality, brings forth versatile personalities, as the youthful Phil, a slim fit shirt or Shades in the Sun, a v-neck T-shirt, both made from 100% cotton and each showcasing bright vivid colors with Abnormal Ariginals peculiar fun factor.

Abnormal Ariginals has set its eyes on the South Florida market with its own pristine goal of becoming the go to, urban chic brand within their respective market. Focusing on the brand’s distinctive outspoken and with no reservations designs, it offers its fans a fresh fashionable outlook. The time for fashion absolutism is over; we are in the period of singularity – no more “follow the leader” complex.

Abnormal Ariginals is a lifestyle brand that represents true originality! Founded by two young designers who believe in the need to speak out their unbiased minds through their outspoken designs. There was a time when being different was not a good thing, you were considered an outcast and left in the dark. Abnormal Ariginals has replaced “what supposedly is” and taken it to a higher level of creation. Being the same is not an option. www.abnormalariginals.com.

Super Market Creative and Creative Mafia present Swap Miami at Cafeina on Saturday, May 22, 2010.  This is an awesome idea, basically we all have things we really don’t need.   So this was a chance to de-clutter, simplify and clean out your closet!   They had a strict quality policy and would only accept items that are gently used and fashionable.  You would  receive SC (swap currency) for each checked item (colored tokens) and you would use them to purchase items at the swap.   I got the cutest skirt, some awesome tops and a great pair of shoes.  All leftover items will be donated to our partnering charity.  If you miss this one keep a look out the for the next one and make sure to get there early, there will be a crowd, I sure will.

Macy’s and Ming Tsai team up to demonstrate “East Meets West Cooking” at the culinary kitchen at Macy’s Home Store in the Dadeland Mall. The award-winning chef will prepare: New Style Salmon Sashimi, Asian Ratatouille with Couscous and a Tamari Marinated Tofu Cucumber Salad.

Ming Tsai started cooking at his family’s Chinese restaurant as a teenager in Dayton, Ohio. He then pursued a mechanical engineering degree from Yale University, which proved to be a brief detour in a career that would lead him to Paris, where he Studied at Le Cordon Bleu. Soon afterwards, he began working at Fauchon and Natacha where he encountered east-west cuisine for the first time. Back in the United States, Ming earned his master’s degree in Hotel and Hospitality Administration and Marketing which led him to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in San Francisco.

Fast forward to 1998, Ming returned to the Boston area and opened his three-star restaurant Blue Ginger. Shortly after opening, the restaurant was nominated as “Best New Restaurant of the Year 1998” by the James Beard Foundation, as well as Esquire Magazine honored Ming as the “Chef of the Year 1998.” Numerous accolades followed, including the James Beard award for the 2002 Best Chef Northeast and Second Most Popular Boston Restaurant by the Zagat Restaurant Guide for seven consecutive years.

The space will carry the full range of TASCHEN titles from contemporary and classic art, photography, design, architecture, sex, travel, cinema and pop culture, as well as a selection of our Spanish and Portuguese language titles.

Bass Museum Of Art And Café Bustelo Commission Limited-Edition Demitasse Cup

Bustelo Cups 005b

Bass Museum Of Art And Café Bustelo Commission Limited-Edition Demitasse Cup

Created by visual artist Dzine

MIAMI BEACH, FL (November 2, 2009) – Bass Museum of Art and Café Bustelo announce their partnership to commission a yearly series of numbered, limited-edition demitasse cups created each year by a different contemporary visual artist of Hispanic background.

As organizations with rich historical pasts and vibrant futures, Café Bustelo and Bass Museum searched for an artist whose work reflected this energy. For the first cup in the series, they recruited Chicago-based artist Carlos Rolon (a.k.a. Dzine), whose work is inspired by beauty, desire, pattern, op-art, and the juxtaposition of highbrow and Chicano lowrider Kustom Kulture. The artist himself grew up drinking this traditional Hispanic-style espresso. In fact, his mother to this day orders a monthly supply from Miami, making him a natural fit for the project. The demitasse cup reflects his signature manifestation of bold colors and patterns.

While the cups offer an opportunity to take a piece of art and culture home, the Bass Museum also invited Dzine to create an all-over, site-specific wall painting presented in their new café and lounge. The café project is part of Dzine’s solo exhibition at the Bass Museum, which includes new sculpture, paintings and installations made specially for the exhibition.

The Dzine demitasse cups — a perfect holiday gift — will be available exclusively at Bass Museum of Art and online at www.bassmuseum.org, starting November 28. Each cup retails for $20. All proceeds from sales will benefit Bass Museum of Art.

About Dzine: From site-specific wall installations, to his custom Cadillac Fleetwood and crystal encrusted sculptures and paintings, Dzine’s prolific manifestation of colors, patterns, textures and sound fuse into a modern phenomenon that reveals thought-provoking combinations. Continuously inspired by Lowrider and Kustom Kulture, Dzine has been able to bolster the semantics of this genre by stretching the boundaries further with his traditional studio practice and bringing never- before-seen products to the table that contribute a unique vernacular to contemporary art.

About Bass Museum of Art: Located in the heart of Miami Beach, the Bass Museum of Art collects and exhibits some of the world’s finest art from the past through the present. Founded in 1963 when the City of Miami Beach accepted a gift of 500 works of art from collectors John and Johanna Bass, the museum has since doubled in size to 35,000 square feet, including new galleries and outdoor exhibition spaces. In addition to housing one of the best collections of Renaissance and Baroque artwork, Bass Museum’s temporary exhibitions for 2009/2010 curated by Executive Director Silvia Karman Cubiña include Dzine; Where Do We Go From Here?/Selections from The Jumex Collection; and The Mummy Project. The Bass Museum also offers lectures, film and video series, music and dance performances, open houses, free family days, and educational symposia on a regular basis. www.bassmuseum.org

With a family tradition of creating savory and aromatic coffee, the family believes the best coffee is achieved through quality beans and roasting perfection. Today, Café Bustelo is one of the leading and most recognizable coffee brands in the world and is part of Rowland Coffee Roasters, Inc. parent to over 12 different coffee brands brewed in the company’s state-of-the-art facility in South Florida.
