Beauty Trend Show + Topshop @ Nordstrom Montgomery

April 27, 2014

Nordstrom has been one of my favorite department stores since the first day I ever stepped foot inside. Coincidentally, it was Westfield Montgomery Mall that introduced me, and Nordstrom Montgomery holds a special place in my little fashionista heart :) So I was pleasantly surprised when I was invited to attend the Beauty Trend Show + Topshop Launch event. A day of pampering and shopping? Um, yes, sign me up por favor!

The day started with a beauty presentation of the best skin and makeup trends for the spring/summer 2014 season. From Dior to Nars, and every luxurious brand in between, the show was fun and definitely educational. Host Laksmi Sam (Nordstrom's Regional Beauty Director) did an fantastic job getting the crowd excited so early in the morning, and her outfit changes were beautiful (that palazzo-style with the slits red pant? LOVE). 

It was followed by a special blogger brunch, where we enjoyed a delicious three-course breakfast which was in one word, amazing. It was then off to preview the new Topshop collection, where our personal shopper showed us around and introduced us to the line. I may or may not have walked away with a gorgeous leather jacket... (side note: need to hide my credit card). 

And as if the day couldn't get any better, Nordstrom hooked us up with some beauty appointments, and I got a little glam action by Chanel and Aveda. 

I'm not used to being so pampered,  and it was definitely a fun (and jam packed) event, not to mention really fun to shoot. I had a hard time really narrowing down my favorites, but here they are! 

Let me know in the comments below which item from the latest Topshop collection you'd want to get your hands :D

Great news, we’re finally out of Austria (for now 😄). In today’s virtual #walkwithfuus vacation, I’m taking you to Kyoto, Japan and their beautiful traditional homes known as kyo-machiya. Many of these long, narrow wooden townhomes have survived wars, earthquakes and more, and typically feature traditional fixtures like sliding doors, tatami mats, and enclosed courtyard gardens in the back. Some of Kyoto’s kyo-machiya have been turned into retail spaces (I went to one that had been turned into a two-story Starbucks 😅) but there are quite a few that still serve as homes. You can even rent them for vacation (whenever that gets to happen again). Walking the streets of Kyoto is like stepping back in time, these homes are truly beautiful, and hopefully, next time I’m there I’ll try to stay in one 🤞🏽

Hey, there. I don’t have my usual virtual #walkwithfuus vacation post to share today. I do, though, want to share my belief in the power of photography and the ability for an image to challenge our comprehension. So today, I want to leave you to ponder this very simple image. What do you see? Perhaps the power of knowledge to illuminate the path from the deepest, darkest depths of our minds and hearts? Or maybe you see some ancient books and a sunny doorway? There’s no wrong or right answer here but sometimes the mere act of contemplation is a step in the right direction. ☮️

Another day, another beautiful cafe. In today’s #walkwithfuus, I’m taking you to Gerstner K. u. K. Hofzuckerbäckerei, the Imperial and Royal Court Confectioner in the heart of Vienna. But this fancy cafe didn’t always have royal roots. The pastry shop was opened in 1847 by Anton and Barbara Gerstner. It soon caught the eye (and tastes) of the Imperial Court, who commissioned the shop to supply desserts for the royal family. And now, almost 200 years later, it’s still known for its delectable sweet treats and impeccable views (it’s right next door to the Vienna Opera House). This majestic staircase starts off on the ground floor pastry shop, taking you upstairs to two more floors, one with a cafe and another with a bar/lounge. If you pay a visit, make sure you grab a seat at the table with velvet upholstered loveseats right next to the large windows overlooking the Opera House. If you’re lucky, you can enjoy a coffee and strudel with views of a live outdoor opera performance. It doesn’t get more Viennese than that, my friends ☕️🍰🎶

A sunny day, cobbled streets, rickety chairs and tables replete with an ashtray and the yummiest Viennese coffee you could imagine.
