DN Handbag Preview |Blogger| Brunch

 handbags from the new collection

 

yesterday Macy's at Aventura Mall hosted a private blogger brunch to preview the new handbag collection for Impulse by Danielle Nicole. The collection is adorable  and affordable with prices all under $100 you definitely can not go wrong. Danielle Nicole bridges the gap between trend driven design and affordability for the fashion savant woman on a budget. The collection encompasses contemporary femininity in all its facets, and has gained notable celebrity fans along the way including: Rachel Bilson, Olivia Palermo, Rachel Zoe, Kristin Cavallari, Alexa Ray Joel, Krysten Ritter and Oprah.

 

all of us Miami bloggers had a great time, we got to preview the new collection, catch up with each other and meet new blogger friends along the way. We all loved the designer and creative director behind the Danielle Nicole handbags Danielle DiFerdinando, she is extremely sweet, bubbly and so passionate about what she does...which for me was so refreshing and inspirational. I cannot wait to be able to sport my new bag and if you are in Macy's stop by the handbag section and look for her bags, you will be leaving with one and one to give as a gift for the holidays.

 

a special Thank You to Danielle DiFerdinando for taking the time to meet with us and answer questions and our beautiful bags, as well as her team from Artisan House and the lovely Macy's Team who provided us with a lovely brunch.

Nicole Richie for Impulse Macy's Blogger Preview Party

 

on Tuesday a few local bloggers and I attended the Nicole Richie for Impulse Preview Party hosted by Macy's in Aventura Mall. We got to take a look at the pieces before they hit the stores the next day. I was looking forward to it as I had a pretty good feeling her pieces were going to be superb. If you have been following Nicole's trajectory in the fashion industry than you know she has a pretty successful line of accessories called House of Harlow, so it is no surprise that she decided to collaborate with Macy's to create a line for Impulse that would be reasonably priced. Her line has pieces that speak to me very much and those are the masculine with feminine touches that I so crave and love, she also has that signature style of hers - boho-chic incorporated in a few of the pieces. One of my favorite pieces was a Faux leather and lace top that I am wearing in the group photo. I suggest you go to Macy's right away (if you haven't already) to check out her line as you won't be disappointed.

 

A special thanks to the Macy's team in Aventura Mall for having us and hosting the preview party for just for us, it was so much fun.

Macy's Fashion's Night Out recap

Macy's all dolled up for FNO

 

i had the opportunity to co-host the Impulse shopping party along with Erika Tapia Schrieber and celebrity guest Luciana Scarabello who was one of the designers from Fashion Star. The event took place on the second floor of the Macy's - Aventura Mall, on the first and third floors where the Mystyle shopping party and Flavors of Miami Spice where other local bloggers co-hosted the events as well. Erika and I got to style four fall looks each from the Impulse section of the store and had to share with the audience why we thought those looks were great for fall. Unfortunately I wasn't able to capture any of the four looks because we didn't really have the chance to. Some of my looks included designers such as RACHEL Rachel Roy (which is one of my favorites), Bar III, and Vince Camuto. I also got to pick out an outfit that I would be wearing that night to represent the brands that fall under the Impulse section.

 

We had a great time and although I was a bit nervous once our event took place, it was a good experience and will be excited for the next time. For those who made it out thank you and hope to see you at next year's FNO.

Fashion's Night Out is here

today is the day, it is happening all over the country and around the world where many stores from large to small will be celebrating/hosting the biggest shopping night of the year - Fashion's Night Out, known as FNO. Fashion's Night Out is a global initiative that was created in 2009 to celebrate fashion, restore the confidence of consumers, and to boost up the industry's economy during the recession. Here in the US the program is a collaboration between American Vogue, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), NYC & Company and the City of New York. So as you can see it all began in New York but has become popular across the country and the world.

So now that I gave you a history lesson, where will you be tonight to celebrate the biggest night in Fashion? if you are in Miami then you must come and see me and other bloggers and celebrities host the Macy's Aventura Fashion's Night out, where there will be a fashion show, all sorts of goodies, style tips and much more. For info on the event click here.

You can find me on the second floor in the Impulse section where I will be giving style tips and showing you what is in this Fall, can't wait to see you all. If you have instagram and twitter remember to hashtag #FNO to all your photos and twitter updates. Don't miss the video below!
