Before there was Brian…

May 10, 2011

Before meeting Brian Atwood, I met Rebecca Minkoff. Having several memory cards can sometimes work against you timeline wise when it’s time to blog. I really enjoyed my experience meeting Rebecca because it was really intimate. It was a daytime affair and I arrived early enough to be the first arrival. I was having a shy day but Rebecca was totally sweet, and we casually chatted about online shopping, ipad flaws etc.

She also showed me her different pieces that our Bloomingdales stocks. Told me a bit about the design and the different trends she was incorporating in her latest pieces. I absolutely love the bag pictured above. I don’t see it on the website anymore but they have a hobo bag with similar leopard cut outs. I think the idea of doing a “animal print” but with cut outs is brilliant. So perfect for someone who is a little iffy about animal prints.

Here’s another favorite the Jane. I think it’s so classic looking while still having that edge that I crave in everything I wear. I also love the light gray coloring. Below the Jane bag you can see the gift with purchase for that day. P.S. Rebecca says don’t expect a slow down in blogger giveaways because they love doing those. So keep trying your luck, I know I will be.

    I too LOVE Rebecca Minkoff. The cheetah clutch and hobo are both amazing, though I prefer the hobo.

One Day for Jackson might just be the easiest way to give back. Just by shopping your favorite spots (like Chick-fil-a, Glow Pilates, Elia and more) on April 16th and you’re supporting South Florida’s largest public healthcare system at the same time. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. 

And if you’ve been seeing me pop up with @JacksonHealthFoundation lately, that’s because I’ll be partnering with them through October so you’re going to be hearing a lot more about the incredible work they do for our community.
