Tell @Bergdorfs: How do you Jason Wu + Meet the designer

I have such a strong appreciation for Jason Wu, he’s one of the few designers I’ve had the pleasure of following since attending his very first runway show in 2006. Since then Michelle Obama wore his gown for the presidential inauguration and the flood gates opened. Then came the Target line and now? Hopefully an expansion into home starting with Nest Fragrances Jason Wu Orchid Rain candle!

Isn’t it chic? In perfect Jason Wu fashion, the frame is adorned with a signature orchid-floral print inspired by his Spring 2012 runway collection. While the scent is unmistakably feminine, there’s a unisex appeal to the design that makes it fit for any shared spaces with your spouse or otherwise… The Orchid Rain candle, combines white orchid with nashi pear, pomegranate and goji berry to create an airy, fruity-floral scent that enhances any room both in fragrance and in aesthetic.

With that in mind, Bergdorf Goodman invites you to print a picture of it, cut it out and style it for your chance to win it!

The contest is open through June 13th. To enter, tweet @bergdorfs a picture of JASON WU Orchid Rain (using the DIY cut-out above) styled in your surroundings. . . the setting can be home, office, wherever you see fit – just remember to be really creative! They are looking for the five best submissions.

I don’t know about you, but last night I was glued to instagram, checking out designer’s feeds from the CFDA awards and awwing over all of their amazing outfits!

One day I’ll make it inside.

The award ceremony was held at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center and hosted by Seth Meyers. The award celebrates the best of American fashion and while it’s an honor to be nominate (no really, it is!), to win is some serious designer credit.

And without further adieu… Envelope please. And the winners are:

Fitness Magazine Hosts Meet & Tweet #FitBlogNYC

Holding down the fort while I was away… Stylist/blogger, Tiffany Piñero, helped cover some of my events on my behalf and attended Fitness Magazine’s Blogger Meet & Tweet. Thank you Tiffany!

While the Lovely Lara was making us all jealous in Europe, I had the pleasure of keeping her Pretty Connected connections in tact in NYC. #FitBlogNYC was a first Meet & Tweet event sponsored by Fitness Magazine introducing fitness, health and wellness bloggers to not only to each other but also to the many brands that fuel the industry. Alongside all the amazing swag being given away and the many new products being introduced, there was an all day agenda of eye opening topics including a pop up fitness session by Kiwi Fitness. It was a crazy sweat session with a workout they call Tabura which is a mix of African dancing and kick boxing, umm yes, out of control.

It was great visiting with the girls from Reebok, who gave us an awesome pair of Real Flex sneakers and socks that will rock your world. Really, the socks are my obsession, so comfortable and they wick away sweat like no other.

Meeting up with Oakley was fun they let us try out their new line of sunglasses which is a total fashion meets function moment of super stylish frames equipped with sport technology to keep them from slipping while running. Talk about a win/win.

Everyone who attended was given a gorgeous Sonia Kashuk gym bag full of amazingness. The bag itself was great, but also loaded with products that I completely fell in love with like the Fiber One Brownie bars! {quite possibly my new favorite thing}, Blow Pro dry shampoo {a god send!}, Schick Hydro Silk razor, a must have for summer — keeps you smooth for so much longer, and Vichy skin firming lotion are a few of the great products that have me transitioning into my sweet summer style effortlessly. Fitness Magazine put together an amazing event that had the twittersphere going wild, connecting our followers with brands and connecting us with what’s next. This day was so fun and such a success. I look forward to the next one!
