Join me at Nordstrom's ENCORE Department Fall Trend Boutique Event

Join me at Nordstrom's ENCORE Department Fall Trend Boutique Event

I'm ridiculously excited to collaborate with Nordstrom Westside Pavilion and host the inaugural Encore Department's Fall Trend Boutique Event this Sunday, October 18.

This is the first time that the Encore Department will be turned into a boutique and house all the lovely accessories and jewelry to compliment the stunning fall clothes that Nordstrom will preview this weekend.

While anyone, including my FAB blogger and journalist friends, can schedule appointments with the Nordstrom stylists from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. to select their fall wardrobe, I will be hosting an informal gathering for my friends from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

I can't wait to show you my top fashion picks for the fall, share yummy treats and libations, oh-and-ah as you receive a mini-makeover from Trish McEvoy or gush over your renewed skin after you receive a complimentary LED facial.

Plus, with your RSVP you will be entered to win a lovely gift from the Nordstrom Beauty Department, and the first twelve of my bloggy friends that RSVP and join me will also receive gift from my friends at Nordstrom.

To RSVP, make sure to send me an email to let me know you will be coming. (Bloggy and media friends: you can also email to schedule your mini make-over and complimentary LED facial.)

Can't wait to see you!
