Life Lately

04/08/14 | family, life lately, Real Life, Saks Fifth Avenue, Smirnoff

Life lately has been going my way.  Over the past week I have been able to squeeze so much in that I am recapping four events in one post. On Wednesday night my wonderful sponsor Smirnoff invited me to a great event after work. It was the launch party of newest swimsuit line from 6 Shore Road at Saks Fifth Avenue. While there are many Saks location their flagship location of 5th avenue and 50th street is my favorite and only four blocks from my office!  Mingling with the other guests on the 9th floor while sipping champagne was enjoyable and I loved asking people how they came to be involved with the brand or one of the five event sponsors.

Last week I was also was able to catch up with the lovely Kier Mellour of Fashion Addict L.A. while she was in New York for a special project. While I only got to spend a few hours with this lovely Hollywood beauty becoming friends with one of my Style Icons is just one of the many perks of being a blogger (and I love how we subconsciously
 coordinated shoes!)

The following night I was able to go see Rocky on Broadway through work and was wow-ed. Granted nothing holds a candle to Kinky Boots from last summer but I was pleasantly surprised how well they turned the renown movie into a play, it particular the last scene. I recommend it!

Finally, Friday night I packed up and I flew to Columbus, Ohio for my cousin’s bachelorette party. Friday and Saturday night were spent bar hoping at Ohio State water holes and the days were filled with wonderful breakfasts at our B and B called the Harrison House, which was just about the cutest place ever, a trip to the blow dry bar (my first blow out) and wine tasting. Since I had not seen my cousins in a few years it was great to reconnect and I am so excited for the wedding, the first weekend in May!

    So much excitement! I think seeing Rocky would be cool, because it couldn’t be your average play. You girls look gorgeous!

    what a whirlwind!! That set up for Rocky actually looks like a real fight. I had no idea it was a play. We have a trip planned to NYC and I’m trying to decide what plays I want us to see. There are so many choices!!!

    We saw Rocky last weekend and absolutely loved it. After the first half, I was a little worried and then that ending just blew me away.
