Helene Kovens and Lisa Pacin Dress for Lunch
Luncheons are a key aspect of the Miami social scene and any lady who lunches understands the significance of looking fabulous.
Says Teddy Gunter, society’s premier personal shopper and stylist with Atomic Style Agency, “Luncheons are a wonderful opportunity to express your personal style and wear one of the season’s latest trends. A dramatic bow blouse paired with a pencil skirt, or a wide leg pant, creates an excellent look. Anchor that look with a statement-making shoe, preferably a platform.”
And from advice to execution, social lady extraordinaire Helene Kovens and daughter Lisa Pacin visited three of the best boutiques in Miami to find the perfect luncheon attire: The Webster, Intermix and hip-e boutique.
Helene is, of course, a luncheon queen who understands how the “wow” factor plays into garment choices. This social philanthropist has been affiliated with many of Miami’s most esteemed organizations, including Miami Jewish Federation, Project: New Born, Humane Society of Greater Miami, Grandfather Home for the Children, Baptist Hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital, Jackson Memorial Hospital, Temple Emanuel and will be honored at this year’s Love and Hope Ball benefiting the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation.
She and Lisa found fantastic luncheon outfits at each boutique, and provide a multi-generational perspective on the perfect luncheon looks.
