San Francisco Style & Beauty Blogger Meetup

July 29th, 2010 Meghan
San Francisco Style & Beauty Blogger Meetup

So last night, WIT & Whimsy hosted the first (of hopefully many!) San Francisco Style & Beauty blogger meetups and it was so much fun! I loved meeting the ladies behind so many of the blogs I love to read and meeting bloggers I hadn’t yet discovered but now know as a result of the event.

I’m so grateful to Benefit Cosmetics and Shop It To Me both of whom attended and gave out goodies to attendees (including the newest of the Benefit Crescent Row fragrances, of which I loved Eva!.) If you don’t know both of these companies, you absolutely must. They’re like an addiction for product junkies & shopaholics alike.

Hopefully there will be another meetup in the near future, but for now I’ll leave you with the very few shots I got (I forgot to take pictures till nearly the end cause I was having too much fun chatting with everyone!)

Thanks to everyone who came out for it! I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did & I’ll see you all soon!

xoxo,

meghan

The 411: Macy’s Girls’ Weekend Out Event

May 24th, 2010 Meghan
The 411: Macy’s Girls’ Weekend Out Event

This past Thursday I joined Macy’s for one fabulous event. At San Francisco’s Union Square Macy’s the event was hosted with Nick Verreos, Project Runway alum, designer and Red Carpet Fashion Correspondent.

During this fab fashion event Macy’s promoted the upcoming Sex & the City 2 film, gave shoppers 20% off in the Impulse department (I die, really!) and provided cocktails, mini makeovers and manicures and tons of styling tips.

Andrea and I with the fierce, fabulous and funny Nick Verreos

The event featured a closet with pieces pulled that had been inspired by the four leading ladies of S&TC2 and I have to say the stylists were spot on with their garment pulls. Additionally, pieces across the floor were marked to help guide shoppers in styling their shopping picks after Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte. Genius, right? I thought so, too.

Macy’s is host to lots of fun events each month so be sure you’re first to know by checking out their events page here and also sign up for their emails so you’re first to know about fun chances to win giveaways like this past month’s chance to win tickets for you and your gilfriends to Morocco just like the Sex & the City gals.

P.S. If you haven’t played with Macy’s Fashion Director tool on their website, you must. It’s so fun and let’s you feel like you’re playing fashion editor for the day! You can also check out fun videos featuring Clinton Kelly and Rachel Roy as well as other designers.

w&w favorites from The Golden Globes 2010

January 18th, 2010 Meghan
w&w favorites from The Golden Globes 2010

Zoe Saladana in Louis Vuitton - Zoe was our absolute favorite at this year’s Golden Globes. Who knew Louis Vuitton made dresses that are so fresh and fun, yet elegant and delicious?

Anna Kendrick in Marchesa – a far cry from her demure and young character in Up in the Air, Anna looks stunning in this amazing Marchesa gown

Anna Paquin in Stella McCartney – Anna totally stood out in this gorgeous and glitzy frock and we love her for wearing something not to flowy and soft

Emily Blunt in Dolce & Gabbana – she’s so pretty and has a hottie of a husband, but we’re not jealous. Not jealous at all…

Jennifer Aniston in Valentino – Hello, babe. Jennifer is a fox. Par normale.

Julia Roberts in vintage Yves Saint Laurent – isn’t it the best when actresses take risks and go for short little numbers like Julia in a sea of full length gowns? We guess with those long legs at over 40, we’d want to showcase them, too

Kate Winslet in Yves Saint Laurent – elegant and sleek this dress hugs Kate in all the right places. In our eyes, Kate can do no fashion wrongs.

Virgin America goes golden with service to Fort Lauderdale

Oh the joys of PR…thanks to our day time job we joined our client, Virgin America on their inaugural flight from LAX to Fort Lauderdale this past week and mixed and mingled with celebs while working a party on the airport tarmac and an after party at the amazing W hotel. The launch celebrated the new service from both SFO & LAX to Fort Lauderdale for low fares and stylin’ ammenities.

We thought we’d share some of the fun pics from the day…enjoy!

The handsome Mr. Gilles Marini on the red carpet…he’s so nice!

Kayla Ewell of The Vampire Diaries. Super sweet and so pretty, right?!

Bye bye Fort Lauderdale. It was a blast!
