Chanel, Gucci & More Viewed by Leonard Simpson's Fabulous "Dressed to the Nth Degree" Gals for Lunch & Fashion Show at Neiman Marcus

On February 11th, 2009 some very lucky guests were invited to a posh and fashionable luncheon on the 3rd floor at Neiman Marcus in Fashion Valley. Among the guests were KUSI's Fashion Guru Leonard Simpson also the event host, along with some of his "Dressed to the Nth Degree" Gals. They included Daran Grimm, Mary Beth Kellee, Michala Lawrence, Ferne McCuen, Esther Jane Paul, Sally B. Thornton, Natalie Daryl Walter, and Barbara ZoBell.

Valerie Cooper, Feben Yohannes, Michala Lawrence were unable to attend.

More there included Linda Masters. Linda was the Chair for the Scripps Mercy event last November that featured Leonard's 'Dressed to the Nth Degree" men and women. That event raised important monies for the Robotic Surgery Department at Scripps Mercy.

Luncheon fare included Neiman's fabled homemade popover and starter of consomme, followed by grilled salmon, and some wicked light cake, cream and berries concoction. There were no complaints.

Chardonay was served. And so were a plethora of beautiful new collections from Chanel, GUCCI, Zac Posen, Escada, Ralph Lauren, Christian Louboutin, YSL, Dior and more. Accessories and jewelry featured were from Laura Merkin, Badgley Mischka, David Yurman, Stephen Dweck, Valentino, and Ranjana Khan. Ranjana is the designer wife of the very 'it' textile rich laden designer Naeem Khan.

Leonard, who has a thing about just right detail, had old fashioned individual Valentine doily cards made by designer Gloria Parker for each guest. Guests also received a beautiful bouquet designed by Eric Dare of Stems and Co. Eric is the new darling of San Diego having already established a chic floral clientele following in Beverly Hills.

A beautiful day it was.....

Enjoy the Photos!
