Fashion esq'S ON 5F TOO

Three weeks ago, I bumped (literally) into Fashion Attorney Mariessa T. on 5F (5th Floor of Bergdorf Goodman, NYC).  I barely recognized her without her mod black and white uniform.  It was 10:00 am on Saturday and she was clad in silver leather Rag and Bone trousers, a caramel Alice+Olivia sweater studded with crystals and retro Prada aviators with blue lenses.  Her faux leopard coat was strewn on a nearby couch.

"Yoo Hoo Darling," I purred.

“Simone,” Mariessa gushed.  “What ARE you doing in NYC?”

“Looking for elevation,” I said, as I picked up a pair of 5 inch Giuseppe Zanotti platforms.

“Me too.”  Mariessa laughed out loud.

“So how was San Francisco?,” I inquired.

“Marvelous!,” Mariessa replied.  “You remember model turned IP Attorney Uduak Oduak?  

I nodded.

“Well,” Mariessa gushed, "Uduak coordinated the January Fashion Panel at UC Hastings College of Law School and invited me along with LA Fashion Attorney Staci Riordan (of Fox Rothschild) and designers for GrDano (Brian Scheyer and Jill Giordano) to participate.  It was thrilling!"  

"Let me text you the facebook link," Mariessa added.

Our conversation continued for about 8 more minutes.  Then Mariessa, black fedora pulled dangerously over her left eye was out the door clutching her pre V-DAY purchases (Wolford back seamed hosiery, Stuart Weizman leopard print booties and Tom Ford lip lacquer in Cherry Lush).

Always Fashion Forward.
