Cocktails, cupcakes and killer style converged last Wednesday night at Alessandra Gold in commemoration of the store’s new tennis shoe line, Kruzin. Chic and stylish guests were wowed with the collection’s tantalizing editorials that adorned the walls and the unique of aesthetic of the collection. Nothing was off limits. Animal prints, metallics we saw it all and we loved it. As if the collection didn’t offer up a unique and engaging experience of it’s own, the night was filled with free- flowing dragon performances and showcased one-of-a-kind environmentally friendly designer clothing as well. It was a night truly dedicated to South Florida’s fashion elite community. Take a look at our pics of the evening. Photographer Clover Matthews captured everything for you.

Look of the day: Rihanna

Culture, Editorial, Fashion, News

We are all about being effortlessly chic. When Rihanna stepped out in London, the inner fashion fiend in us did our ritual happy dance as it pertains to the singer’s style. This look is the epitome of what we like to see Worthy ladies in. Her black and white Tom Ford boots are simply magical. Her simple white dress paired with sparkling Chanel cuffs were just the perfect touch. What are your thoughts?

The Velvet Room at SoLita Italian Restaurant in Delray Beach continued to provide a steady rhythmic pulse to the heart of downtown Delray nightlife with an exclusive performance from X Factor contestant, CeCe Frey, Friday night. The blonde songstress took to the intimate stage of The Velvet Room to perform a total of four cover songs. Sporting her signature leopard print on the side of her face and a sultry long black maxi skirt and midriff top from Nasty Gal, Frey wowed the crowd with her raw talent. We were happy to catch up with the artist after her show-stopping performance that wowed the audience and owners of SoLita.

“She actually did the first part of the first song she performed a cappella ,” Stephen Dapuzzo, owner of SoLita said.  “It was amazing. I was very happy with the performance and I think the crowd was as well.”

The recently added Velvet Room proved to be the perfect venue for an intimate performance, which is exactly what Dapuzzo was hoping for.

“Our goal is to give the audience a unique experience when they see performances in the Velvet Room,” Dapuzzo said. “We want it to feel a little different from a concert. I think the intimate setting allows you to see a different side of the artist.”

CeCe about her signature look

We were happy to see the singer with her signature leopard print make-up and we were equally as eager to hear about the origins of her signature aesthetic. Frey told Worthy Magazine that the signature leopard print that we know and love was actually something she incorporated while she was a member of a music group.

“It was a Hip-Hop group,” Frey said. “We sang and rapped and we had one song called “Animals” that we use to perform. That is how I got the idea for the leopard print. I actually did a lot of debating about wearing it for my audition for X Factor because it was going to be a new chapter in my life.”

Needless to say, we are happy that she did. It was one of the many things that made Frey stand out.

CeCe on her signature sound

While Frey has built a massive following just from musical covers of chart-topping hits, fans are anxiously awaiting her first single and album.

” I am working on that now,” Frey said. “I go to the studio three-to-four times a week.” However, when it cam discussing the details of her signature sound, the singer was a little shy.

“I think people heard me do so many different genres that it leaves a lot of room for creativity so I don’t want to give it all away- just yet,” Frey said. “But people can still expect the same ‘CeCe’ edge and sass.”

How many of you are as excited as we are?

Culture, Fashion, News

Forever 21 has proven itself to be the premier location for all fashion enthusiasts. The store provides the unique luxury of allowing fashionistas to create their own look. It is a store that has managed to capture the hearts of every type of girl from the preppy chic girl to the flirty hippie. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, Forever 21 reaffirmed their place in our hearts when they came to Sawgrass Mills in Sunrise, Florida.

The new store, which opened this past Saturday, is a 60,000 square foot piece of heaven complete with 36 dressing rooms, wonderfully organized themed rooms (We are obsessed with the summer room, which features colorful images of Frida Kahlo) and a men’s section with a line from 21Men that offers fresh and fast fashion items for the fellas.

We are not joking when we say that we saw something for everyone. Not to mention the shoe section of the store, which had us at a loss for words.

Forever 21 global marketing director, Linda Chang, shared her excitement about the newly renovated location.

“Our remodeled location in Sawgrass Mills Mall will continue to serve shoppers in the Sunrise area. We have diligently worked to remodel the overall store layout and concepts to ensure a better shopping environment for all our customers,” Chang said. This location is certainly Worthy approved.

There is just something about a good cause and great style meeting a chic, long black runway that captivates our attention and makes our hearts smile. This past Thursday was one of those magical nights filled with amazing people, tantalizing South Florida style and delicious cuisine. SoLita Italian restaurant in Delray facilitated the festivities. We had the opportunity to dine and pine for the tropical creations that sashayed down the runway. The Event sponsors included Chic Devotion, Zamora Swimwear, Edmund James Salon, Guy La Ferrera, Live In, and Roxy LuLu. The vendors for the evening showcased their summer collections while ESPN Radio’s own Josh Cohen and DJ Adam Lipson kept the crowd momentum high.

VIP Seating, which included a fabulous swag bag helped Victor Concepcion, LLS Man of the Year Candidate, raise funds for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of South Florida.

The recently added Velvet Room cultivated the ideal elements of comfort and style with its plush seats, ornate wall fixtures and sleek bar. Everything about the night and the venue can be described as “WORTHY APPROVED.”

A Worthy Look

Accessories Director Milove Frederic shares some of her weekly looks with Worthy readers to provide you with insight into this season’s trends.

I call this look “Resort Chic” because it has all the key accents of a summer ensemble. The fedora, light sandals and a thin linen blouse- all just scream summertime to me. When creating the perfect summer look, the goal is to look effortless, comfortable but still chic. Light weight linens, sheer midriffs and eye-catching sandals are a few of the must-have elements for the ideal summer look.

Music Monday Beyonce and Andre 3000 Get Mixed Reviews

Culture, Editorial, Fashion, News

It is always a tall order to cover a song of a legend. However, Andre 3000 and Beyonce did not shy away from the challenge with their latest collaboration for The Great Gatsby soundtrack. The single “Back to Black,” was originally performed by Amy Winehouse. The song has been receiving mixed reviews. We think that it is because fans of the talented Amy Winehouse are comparing it to the late singer’s original track. Instead of seeing the track for what it is, which is a song for a movie that has a distinct look and sound. For those reasons, we have to admit that we love this song and we hope you guys will give it a chance.
