{The Colonnade Outlets at Sawgrass}

The Colonnade Outlets at Sawgrass Mills in Florida are not to be missed if you ever are in the Miami area!

This is also the Valet parking entrance and you are at the right corner to start browsing Neiman Marcus Last Call, Saks Fifth Avenue or Bloomingdale's and all Outlets at the Colonnade to your right.

Sawgrass Mills is the largest outlet mall in the United States!

HOW large?

2.1 million square feet or 195,096 square meters, which is 19.5 hectare!

According to Miami.com's Sawgrass Mills Survival guide you deserve a medal - and a foot massage if you ever walk those 350 stores and outlet shops...

Yep, in the above screenshot, you see Neiman Marcus to the left and at the top you read Escada and that's how all designer outlets are lined up on both sides of the Colonnade and under a roof. 

Rain or shine - you will be fine. 

Neiman Marcus with super bargains and if you can't make it to the outlet, you also can order on line: Neiman Marcus Last Call ←(click it)

Trip Advisor review by me:

“Sawgrass Mills Colonnade is the BEST shopping + valet parking!” ←(click it)

The Valet parking is a MUST in order to save your feet as the parking lot is like Miami.com put it here above: acres of parking lots with no empty space in sight...

There also is a Wolford outlet store; one of my favorites.

Have you ever been to the Sawgrass Mills Mall?

{Outlet Scores}

Always a pleasure to find great Outlet Scores and we are often successful in Florida.

This Escada jeans suit we found at Escada Outlet Store in Florida, right after I came out of the hospital, when I got almost completely paralyzed because of a rare auto immune disease. I had lost so much weight that I barely could keep any pants on my hips...

Here I wear it again with two new Oultet Scores from the Wolford outlet.

Yes, those Outlets are great for Men's clothes as well.

Here husband Pieter is wearing his favorite jeans brand: Zegna with a nice vest from Last Call by Neiman Marcus.

Pieter captured me laughing at one of our cats; they always follow us like doggies!

You can see the Cotton Velvet Wolford top with the leather belt.

Lovely belt with roses... that was a pre-surgery gift when we were in Florida for a relaxing vacation in September of 2013, but with horrible weather.

Got so lucky that this was in the Wolford Outlet at Orlando, FL

On our latest trip we learned that they closed in February.
But there is one in Fort Lauderdale at The Colonnade!
With Last Call by Neiman Marcus and Escada Outlet store at the Colonnade Outlets at Sawgrass, that makes it super...

Do you also treasure such Outlet Scores?

{TIP on how to avoid a Double Crease in Pants}

Just like to share this tip with you in order to make life easier... Learn from Mariette. In April we went to the Sawgrass Mills in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and found these pants for Pieter. (Click on view alphabetically for all stores listed by name). Whenever we buy some real nice pants, like these Italian Ermenegildo Zegna from the Zegna Outlet store, I prepare them right away. In order to make ironing a snap ever after, you do grasp the ankle cuffs of the pants and hold them together right on the seams.

Match the inner leg seams as you bring the ankle cuffs together. Keep the inner-leg seams together as you flatten the legs against each other. Lay the pants out on the ironing board evenly. Smooth out any wrinkles with your hands; pinning the seams together all the way.

Holding one hand underneath, you can feel if the seams are aligned.

Now you iron the front and back and if they are new, there is not much to iron and aligning them will be rather easy!

With a thread in the matching color you now stitch all along the crease from top till bottom; front and back. That's also rather easy, once it has been properly ironed.

That is stitching almost on the edge...

Barely visible stitching... till almost at the waist area. When worn with a belt the ending of the stitching is not visible at all.

Nothing looks crisper than a properly pressed pair of pants. Nothing is more evident of a lack of attention to detail than poorly pressed pants that have multiple creases.

Next time when laundering it is a piece of cake and it is also very convenient when traveling, for folding inside a suitcase. You never can go wrong. With jeans I don't do this but for this type pants it worked perfect.

Even Sacha did approve of them... She stands proudly by her Papi with her white socks.

Convenient outfit in all cotton. A kind of tropical style jacket-shirt from Gianni Versace is one of Pieter's favorite for when the weather gets real hot here.

Thanks for visiting!
