The Collection Kelly Saks from World Red Eye Films on Vimeo.

Miami, FL – November 9, 2017 – To conclude our ride through the #FashionDrive305 – a digital partnership between THE COLLECTION and World Red Eye – where insiders get an exclusive look at the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace, we caught up with Kelly Saks to spend the day with Miami’s go-to fashion girl to see what the luxurious Jaguar F-Pace has to offer. Since Kelly Saks launched her online fashion blog in 2010, Saks is a wardrobe stylist and digital influencer known for her ultra-feminine style for all things fashion and beauty. The Miami native attributes her style to her hispanic routes; even Glamour named her one of the Top 5 Latina bloggers that rule the world, while Haute Living Magazine and Refinery29 said she’s one of “Miami’s most influential.” Whether Saks is connecting with her thousands of fans in the digital world or the real world, one thing remains constant: her passion for helping women to look and feel their very best.  Saks has worked with esteemed brands such as; Bloomingdale’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, Emilio Pucci, Tiffany & Co., just to name a few. World Red Eye followed Saks for the day in the Jaguar F-Pace, making the sexy SUV the best “accessory” to add to the fashionista’s closet.

WRE: What was your perception of Jaguar after you drove the F-Pace? 

KS: After driving the Jaguar F-Pace my perception completely changed…Now when I think of the Jaguar brand and the Jaguar F-Pace the words sleek, modern, and speed come to mind.

WRE: What was your favorite part when you visited The Collection? 

KS: I always love visiting The Collection! I grew up shopping at The Collection with my dad. Every time it’s always an experience, walking through the beautiful showroom and picking out my dream car. My Jaguar advisor Juan, took such great care of me. He made the process seamless.

WRE: Describe the driving experience of the Jaguar F-Pace?  

KS: Let’s just say I almost didn’t give it back! I’ve been on the market for a new SUV, and the Jaguar F-pace exceeded all my wishes. Besides being a beautiful SUV, the Jaguar F-Pace drives like a sports car but, offers the safety and comfort of an SUV. The last thing I want is to be driving around in a “mom car” and the Jaguar F-Pace is very far from it!

WRE: Tell us about where you went with the Jaguar F-Pace? 

KS: My business takes me to different places every day. From meetings with fashion and beauty brands, photoshoots around the city, and frequent visits to the mall to shop for clients and of course myself. The Jaguar F-Pace helped me arrive to all my destinations in style. I even took the Jaguar F-Pace to my favorite destination, The Acqualina Resort & Spa for a weekend staycation. There’s nothing like pulling up to one of your favorite hotels in a hot new car.

WRE: Describe your perfect day behind the wheel of an Jaguar F-Pace? 

KS: The perfect day behind the wheel of the Jaguar F-Pace includes driving with the sunroof open and blasting my favorite Pandora station (“Miami Pool Sounds”). I love to visit Merrick Park for a day of shopping and followed by lunch at BC Bistro (I always order escargot and fries with a glass of rose). To end the perfect day includes date night with my husband at Brickell City Center for dinner and a movie at CMX Theaters.

 After driving the Jaguar F-Pace my perception completely changed…Now when I think of the Jaguar brand and the Jaguar F-Pace the words sleek, modern, and speed come to mind.

WRE: What was the Jaguar F-Pace’s most memorable characteristic? 

KS: Its versatility.

WRE: The F-Pace is packed with technology. What was your favorite tech feature? 

KS: My iPhone is basically glued to me at all times, so the ability to sync my iPhone allows me to answer calls while on the road and listen to my favorite Pandora stations. The Jaguar F-Pace has all the bells and whistles.

WRE: Would you recommend the Jaguar F-Pace to your friends? 

KS: Absolutely! If I don’t end up getting a Jaguar F-Pace for myself, I need someone I know to have one so I can live vicariously through them!

WRE: What song do you identify with while driving the Jaguar F-Pace? 

KS: The song I identify myself with while driving the Jaguar F-Pace is “Wild Thoughts” by Rhianna. While listening to the song in the Jaguar F-Pace I felt as if I could take on the world.

WRE: Describe the Jaguar F-Pace in one word. 

KS: The one word I use to describe the Jaguar F-Pace is sexy.

WRE: What do you consider your greatest life achievement? 

KS: I created my dream job and get to live every day doing something that I’m passionate about.

WRE: How did you get your start as a stylist?

KS: I have always loved fashion, but many are surprised to learn that I have a degree in broadcast journalism and not any formal fashion training. It’s been almost eight years since I started my fashion blog, and it’s taken me on the most unconventional yet rewarding journey. I never set out to be a personal stylist. After my blog gained popularity I started doing fashion segments on local and national TV programs. As a result, the clients came calling. My very first styling event was at Bloomingdale’s at The Falls. I still love working with them to this day.

WRE: What is your favorite trend this season?

KS: This season I’m obsessed with the color red. I’m love rocking a bold head-to-toe red outfit. The Collection must have known the color red is my favorite trend this season. When they gave me a red Jaguar F-Pace I was ecstatic!

WRE: What is your process in choosing a look for your clients?

KS: When I’m working with a client for the first time, it’s always important for me to get a sense of  who they are and what they do. Personal style is very individualistic, so making a personal connection is key for me to successfully style my clients.

WRE: Who are some of your most notable clients?

KS: Throughout the past few seasons I’ve styled the Fontainebleau Miami Beach’s social media campaign. Some of my most recent brand partnerships include; Vince Camuto, Marshalls, Thierry Mugler Angel & Nespresso.

WRE: How is the Miami fashion scene right now different from what’s going on in other major cities?

KS: Miami’s location influences such a unique space in the fashion world with the influx of incredible Latin American talent. Brands such as, Silvia Tcherassi, Ximena Kavalekas, Joanna Ortiz, Superclaverol. We got them first!

WRE: Where do you find a lot of your pieces for yourself and for clients?

KS: My Instagram followers know that I am obsessed with Marshalls! I love to mix high and low-end pieces. I don’t care if it costs $20 or $200; if it’s cute, I’m rocking it. Some of my favorite brands of the moment include; Topshop, Vince Camuto, ASOS, Target, Banana Republic, Intermix and Neiman Marcus.

WRE: What inspires you?

KS: My personal style is so eclectic. I get inspiration from everywhere including films, my favorite TV characters and other stylish women.

WRE: Do you have any goals moving forward in your work?

KS: I’m always dreaming of what’s next, but I’m a firm believer in working in silence until your success can speak for itself.

WRE: How has social media influenced your career?

KS: My business wouldn’t exist without social media. Social media is today’s word of mouth. It’s been interesting building a business in a space where we’re still writing the rules. There was no business plan for becoming a blogger/stylist. Every day is a challenge but it keeps me on my toes.

I’m always dreaming of what’s next, but I’m a firm believer in working in silence until your success can speak for itself.

WRE: How do you stay up-to-date on current trends?

KS: Staying up-to-date on trends is my job; and some can argue I help set the trends. I’m old-school in the sense that I still subscribe to magazines, but I also spend part of my day doing research on Instagram, Twitter and other fashion blogs. I constantly need to be reading up on what’s new and next in fashion, beauty and tech.

WRE: What are you hoping to achieve career-wise in the next 10 years?

KS: In the next 10 years I hope to have a few new businesses under my belt.
