Beijing Is Everything That We Dream Of!

China is a fabulous place to visit. With more than 14000 Km of coastline, desert and mountains this gigantic country has a lot to offer. This was our first family trip to China and nothing better than start with the capital city, Beijing.

Siji Minfu Restaurant Peking Roast Duck

Served with heye bing, tian Mian Jiang and green onions, the famous slow roasted and succulent duck is something that everyone should try. We tried it, and we loved it!!

AG Restaurant St Germain

The food is known for being creative and delicious. The location is well known and desired. So what else could I ask for? Nothing! After walking around the Louvre for the whole morning, nothing better that a good restaurant.

Last Wednesday was the South Coast Plaza stylist fall Luncheon. As always the organization was great and the company superb. We had a blast!!

The South Coast Plaza Stylist Luncheon this time was all about getting to know each other. Stylists and store managers exchanged ideas, all while enjoying good company and food.

As a stylist and personal shopper, it is fundamental to be on top of trends but most of all, it is essential to know where to go to be able to better help our clients to find their style. Fashion is a constant revival and reinvention, and a woman with style knows how to use that in her favor.

So, the luncheon was a terrific network event. I also can’t forget to mention the nice portfolio with all the members of “The Stylist project” – which I love!
Now, take a look at the Stylist Luncheon Fall 2018

The traffic going to South Coast Plaza was terrific, but by the time I was returning the smooth driving was gone as we stood on the freeway without moving for a couple of hours. But it was worth!

Seeing the girls and checking out the latest is always great.
As usual, the lunch was delicious, in good company, and perfect decor! We had a lot of fun! So, let me show you some pics…

Wednesday, May 13th was a very busy and exciting day! I started by attending the South Coast Plaza luncheon and finished the day meeting Charlotte Olympia Dellal in person!

We now have a Charlotte Olympia store at South Coast Plaza, and Charlotte herself came for the opening. It was a pleasure to meet and talk with her, and let me tell you that Charlotte speaks impeccable Portuguese! Her mother and son were also present at the event. It was also great to see Eduardo Rosso – Charlotte Olympia Brand Developer Director – once again! I had the pleasure of first meeting him during the opening of the Florida store.

The store opened a week ago, but this was the official launch. During the luncheon, Charlotte signed shoes for all of us, lovers of the brand. So, here are some pictures of the evening. I had fun and I hope you like it too…

Cocktail, beautiful store and autographs

Yesterday, May 13th was the new season luncheon by South Coast Plaza and I had the pleasure to attend it. Every year we get together with managers of top brands, to be introduced to new members of the team, and talk about what is “in “and new ideas. Delightful as usual, it took place at the level 3, Penthouse. Great company, delicious food, and the best conversation ever! Take a look …

Yesterday, Thursday, October 9, I attended the opening night fashion show for the “Live the Look” event at South Coast Plaza. The event was a partnership between South Coast Plaza and The Hollywood Reporter ,and it was an excellent opportunity to check out the fall’s hottest trends from over 12 luxury boutiques. It was a blast, and it was hosted by none other than the stylist and designer Rachel Zoe!

So, let me show you everything that I could take a picture of 🙂

To celebrate the new season Debra Gunn Downing from South Coast Plaza promoted a gathering for their stylists team and boutique manager on Wednesday, May 7th. So as part of the team, there I went to enjoy great company, good conversation and pleasant environment. I wish I could take you with me – I know you all would enjoy it – but as I could not, here are some pictures 🙂

Don’t you think it is very nice?

The food was delicious as usual…

And the company pretty great!!

I really loved the decor and the Dessert was as delicious as it looks

And in the end back to work…a final stop at Lanvin to get some delights for my clients 🙂

Few weeks ago I attended the Grand Opening of the new Lanvin store in Orange County. Lanvin along with The Harvesters charity hosted the event, and the celebration was fabulous!

We started with cocktails and shopping at the store followed by a beautiful luncheon at Marche Moderne—a French restaurant at South Coast. During the luncheon, we had a Fashion presentation of the beautiful Fall/Winter 2013 and Spring/Summer 2014 Collections. I was able to take a sneak peek of the collection to come.

Check it out…

Yesterday was a hard work day:-) I went to visit South Coast Plaza to check all the new Collections.
Would you like to take a look?

A great start on the Louboutin Store

Absolutely in love with this crystal looking high heel pump!

My dear Brazilian friends, Roberta and Alice from the Pucci boutique make this beautiful store even more radiant.

A while ago I wrote here about the Prada necklaces, yesterday I checked them out myself and I was delighted, they’re GREAT! I think these photos are better than the previous posting so here is a “replay”

Well, it’s not all about fashion… Time for lunch and nothing better than the “Marché Moderne”. The food its a delight and it has such a pleasant atmosphere.
