ReSnap: Cole Haan Atlanta & Nikka Shae Host Exclusive Fall Edition Preview

September 24, 2014

On a cool autumn evening in Atlanta, Cole Haan kicked off the season in style during an exclusive Fall Preview event. Held at their Phipps Plaza store, and hosted by yours truly, this private affair offered an exclusive look at the brands Fall lineup for both men and women. Guests of the event sipped, socialized, and shopped the brands latest offerings, while enjoying yummy nips and spins courtesy of a Live DJ. Guests also received a special gift which made this shopping experience even more grand.

Well known for their quality crafted shoes for the discriminating gentleman, Cole Haan has expanded its offerings to include women’s shoes, women’s handbags, women’s luxury outerwear, and women’s accessories. I couldn’t help but be wide-eyed at the store’s fabulous selections for women. Their gorgeous handbags, stylish boots, haute heels, sassy loafers, and cute accessories would make any Fashionista drool. I especially love, Love, LOVE their new Quilted Collection! (Gasp and faint) And as difficult as it was to choose which pieces I hearted most, I couldn’t help but snag a bushel of beauties to add to my wardrobe. Hubby had his eye (and both hands) on the sporty new Zerogrand‘s… and he also scored a few pairs of kicks to check off his list of desirables. Hubby absolutely swears by Cole Haan and he’s been stock-piling a secret stash of them for a while now. Shhh… Don’t tell him that I’m on to him… It’s our secret. 😉

Thanks to all of my lovely guests and the fabulous staff at Cole Haan Atlanta for a wonderful event! Be sure to stop by Cole Haan at Phipps Plaza for some of the season’s hautest finds. But; hands off those Quilted Bradshaw Pumps… I’m calling dibs! 😀

Check out this cool video by @T4Vista!

And… More candid captures from the event!

September 2, 2014

It’s that time of year again… Get excited for Pumpkin Spice Lattes and that autumn air we’ve been waiting for all summer. As you gear up in your hottest fall fashion, don’t forget one of the most vital accessories you can wear this season: Scent!

Pick up one of these fab fragrances designed for the fashionista on a budget. These perfumes may skimp on price, but rest assured – they do not lack in quality. We found fabulous fragrances for every fall occasion, so check out what your style should smell like this season…

1. Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs – $94

Let your mind wander into the clouds with this earthy, free-spirited and light fragrance. Both fruity and floral, the main factor in Daisy Dream is its airy ocean spray ambiance. Sage and sea salt scents will have you staycationing on the shore.

2. Dahlia Divin by Givenchy – $110

Air on the romantic side for your fall date nights. An enchanting mix of golden fruit, jasmine and sandalwood makes for a majestic, timeless scent. Beware: wearers of this fragrance may become extremely flirty and fun!

3. Moden Muse Chic by Estee Lauder – $100

Put the light perfumes next to the bikini–you won’t be needing those items for a while! Opt for this heady floral musk and you will radiate. A balance of floral feminity and cashmere wood boldness is just the right combo.

4. Paris by Yves Saint Laurent – $90

If you want to stand out, you’ve got to be different. And this entrancingly unique YSL scent paves the way for fall fragrances. Flowery, light powdery and woody notes will have you feeling fresh and ready for anything as the leaves turn.

5. Narciso by Narciso Rodriguez – $112

Make your mark in an undeniable, irresistable musk like Narciso. Seduction comes easy with this fragrance, as creator Narciso Rodriguez said himself: “I wanted to create an extremely sexy fragrance that would turn a man’s head.” Mission accomplished.

Be sure to stop by Bloomingdale’s at Lenox Square and switch up your scent this season. So when the leaves turn you will definitely turn a few heads.
