Fashion & Beauty Week Event: Where Fashion & Beauty Collide - October 3-4

I was invited to attend the prestigious international event, Fashion & Beauty Week, that combines fashion/beauty with awareness. There were gorgeous runway shows, delicious food, cocktails, wine tasting, a beauty bar, a silent auction, and more. We were whisked away in a blue limo (seriously) and given the all-star treatment. This event is open to the public and attendees are invited to meet people from all walks of life from fashion designers to beauty editors and even actors. The mission of the event? To raise awareness and money for the Diabetes Research Institute. 

The event took place in the gorgeous Pleasantdale Chateau in West Orange, NJ. Designers featured were Ari, Bound + Tide, Dolce Vita, Devon Thomas, Monique Lhuillier, Teresa Rosati, Theia, Jay Godfrey, Jensen Martin, Marisa Kenson, Pamela Dennis, Sandra Baquero, Esposito and William Rast.

I attended the event with a few of my favorite bloggers and little did we know the fun and excitement that was in store for us.

Blogger Night Out NYC - September 9, 2011

I love all the perks that come with being a blogger, but the best perk of all is being able to connect with so many amazing people. Fashion Week proved to be an exciting time to meet people from all over who are passionate about the same things as myself. I attended Blogger Night Out (BNO), which is an exclusive night out during Fashion Week that connects bloggers and offers networking opportunities. It took place at the gorgeous Pranna restaurant on Madison Ave. There was drinking, eating, laughing and excitement and I was sad for it to end. I can't wait till next February for the next one.
