The 411: Macy’s Girls’ Weekend Out Event

By on May 24, 2010 in Fashion

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.

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.

Social Network Makeover

Social Network Makeover

By on October 8, 2009 in Beauty, Makeup

d_200910_event_socialnetwork_imgYesterday thanks to Nichelle Pace aka StyleMom, we came across Estée Lauder’s newest “social media” campaign/event and we have to say, it’s quite brilliant on their part. Their new event – with the slogan Your Beauty. Your Style. Your Profile – is crossing the USA with special makeover sessions at a handful of Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s and Saks Fifth Avenue stores that are  targeted to give you a makeover + photo to post to your social network profile, blog, Twitter, etc.

What we love most about this is its embracing social media by recognizing people are putting energy into the creation of a personal brand. Plus, we think it’s a great way to kickstart the Estée Lauder brand which until now has maintained an image of being for the older woman. Hot on the heels of the discontinuation of the Perscriptives brand, this is a step in the right direction…
