LuckyFabb Fashion & Beauty Conference 2013 Day 1

Happy Friday Sweets! 

Before I even start talking about how amazing day 1 of LuckyFabb was, I have to start by telling you that I wasn't happy with my outfit choice.  I ordered a top to go with these pants and it didn't arrive on time.  Of course, it didn't!  I honestly didn't have a plan b so I literally through this on last minute. 

The top that I had ordered was a soft pink chiffon so I thought ok lets stay with that color scheme, and I went with this pink JLo sweater.  I honestly through the vest on because I didn't want to have to carry a jacket around all day, and it was pretty cold in the morning.  I now know that there is a coat check so next year that won't be a problem.  Even though I wasn't 100% happy with my outfit, I still thought I looked pretty cute!           

Pink Sweater: Jennifer Lopez for Kohl's

Vest: Mossimo (Target)

Burgundy Cords & booties: H & M

Ok lets talk LUCKYFABB!  I don't even know where to begin, so lets start in the beginning.  LuckyFabb is a fashion and beauty conference held in NYC over a two day period. I've never seen so many fashionable and beautiful ladies all in one place.  The minute I walked in and saw all the fabulosity, I knew it was going to be an awesome day.
 

All Access baby!

 Eva Chan was our first guest speaker.  She's the Editor In Chief of Lucky Magazine. 

 Eva Mendez looking gorgeous.  She has a beautiful new line at New York & Company. 
 

Eva asked Eva....hahaha!  What her go to piece was and she said "a scarf!"  She borrowed someones and of course, tied it up in this fab updo in less than 2 minutes. With no mirror and looked this fab!  I wouldn't have looked this if I had 2 mirrors!  You go Eva! 

Kate Bosworth also spoke to us about her line with Topshop.  I died over her metallic skirt!

Alisa Gould–Simon- Founder of Pose, Gabi Gregg from GABIFRESH and Erica Domesek-  P.S. I Made This. 

Panelists Lindsey Calla- Fashion Blogger and Stylist at Saucy Glossie, Amber Venz -Blogger and founder of Reward Style, Mattias Swenson- CEO of Bloglovin and Hayley Phelan- Fashion News Editor for Lucky. 

After a morning of panels which were filled with laughs and blog talk, we had lunch!

Chicken salad to go!  Thank you Lucky!  Of course I had lunch with my favorite ladies!

 Lissette RavenFashion

 Dhruvi Stilettos & Sequins

 I couldn't wait to meet my LA girls!  Love them!  Paulina Lil Bits Of Pau and Daisy Daisy's Fashion Garden

After lunch I headed to the "gifting suite" for some goodies!  Lucky I was able to score "All Access"

 ModCloth

 L'OCCITANE hooked it up with one of their fabulous scents.  I've been wearing it ever since.

 Galian New York. 
I was gifted the fabulous black suede bag in front with the tassle.  I wanted the green but it was all gone! :(

Quinn I LOVE my scarf!

 Thank you Yosi Samra.  I LOVE my new flats! 

Kendra Phillips jewelry was so pretty!  I went with a cuff.

Julie Vos was stunning!  I went with the short chunky necklace on the left.  It was so hard to decide!

All for me!  Cheesin from ear to ear!

If you attend LuckyFabb, I suggest you go with the All Access pass. 

There was also another suite where all that attended could go and get their nails done with Nintendo, Charming Charlie was there giving away some awesome jewelry.  They had photo booths, contest, giveaways!  Oh Pantene, Paige Denim and a huge charging station.  Bloggers can't live without their phones!  Lol!   

I need a cord!  I need power!  Do you have an Iphone 4 or 5?  When I get to 20% then you can use it.  The phone madness was serious.  Luckily my friend Robyn let me borrow her extra battery pack.  Thanks love!

Mario Mani?  Yes please!

Photo booth fun with Pantene

We ended our day 1 with cocktails and appetizers. 

Lucky Magazine really went all out for us.  I had an awesome day.  I couldn't wait for day 2! 

The fun didn't stop there!  Lissette from Raven Fashion is friends with  Elizabeth from Fashion Climaxx and she invited us to her showroom.  She was so sweet!  Thanks for having me Elizabeth.

Loved this soft pink dress, so sweet.

My favorite shoe in the showroom.  I would probably break a tooth or something in that heel, but I still LOVE It!

I wish all my Thursdays could be this fun!  My feet hurt, I was starving, and I wouldn't have it any other way.  It was a long but fab day and I couldn't wait for day numero dos! 

Have a wonderful weekend!  Stay tuned for day 2 of LuckyFabb!

2 Days, 2 Ways

Hat: Avon (Old)

Top: Old.....I have no idea from where.

Jeans: Old Navy

Handbag: Dooney & Bourke

Flats: Jennifer Lopez (Kohl's)

Hey dolls!  Hope your all having a fabulous day! 

I wore this on Sunday to run errands and yes this is the same hat from yesterday's post.  I got this hat about 2yrs ago from a co-worker who sells Avon.  I actually have a few fedoras but this has to be my favorite! 

Not only are fedoras fab because their just fab, but they are great for hiding from the heat, a bad hair day, and they just add a little xtra to any outfit.  What makes this one special?  If you notice on yesterday's post the strap was coral and now it's black.  Yes this hat came with 3 interchangeable bands.  LOVES IT!  The other band is a blue floral print. 

How are you fashionistas styling your fedoras?  Thanks for visiting!

Happy Birthday to me! Love these girls!

Another weekend bites the dust! 

Obviously, I didn't win the powerball!  LOL!  Even though I didn't win the lottery, I had an awesome weekend and an even better birthday!  My friends took me to dinner on Friday night, and I just wanted to share some pics.  We went to Benihana and OMG was it delish!  Love that place!  I know these pics suck but I only had my Iphone.  My dress was pretty simple, but I love the floral pattern.  I love that you can dress it up or down, like I did.  

THANK YOU to all my friends and family for making my birthday so special! 

One more thing.....I got these awesome hair brushes from BrushLove and I can't wait to review them for you!  Stay tuned for that later in the week!

Thanks for visiting!
