A couple weeks ago I attended the annual Fall Fashion event at one of my favorite malls in Southern California - The Outlets at Orange. It is the only outlet mall in Orange County and only minutes from Disneyland. Where else can you find my favorite stores Nordstrom Rack, Last Call by Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5th and H & M in one place!
The opening reception was at Nordstrom Rack and I could not stop staring at the bags they have in for the Fall. I haven't wanted a bag in forever but now a few are on my Christmas wish list! Market Broiler catered the opening reception and I filled my tummy with yummy sushi. The first TweetUp activity was to choose a pair of shoes I'd like for the Fall, easy. I have been eyeing boots and closed toe wedges. After that we headed to the main event area in front of DKNY and it was decked out with model platforms, a stage, eyebrow makeovers from Planet Beauty and tables with yummy goods from Sweets from Heaven, Market Broiler, Dave & Busters, Cinnabon and Corner Bakery Cafe. The next TweetUp activity was a women's fashion show off where 2 teams of 2 bloggers/social media enthusiasts dressed up models. Then we Twitter'd Fashion Finds and finally the men's fashion show off.
