TechStyle NYC at New York Fashion Week

During New York Fashion Week on February 16th, fashionistas lounged at TechStyle NYC at The House of Bumble, enjoying the break from fashion shows and presentations.

Guests enjoyed hair, makeup and nail makeovers as well as massages and facials compliments of Reddera, a newly launched on-demand beauty app. Attendees learned about Stylinity, an app designed to allow your fans to shop your selfies. 

Phorus who has recently launched their PS5 wireless speaker, also sponsored TechStyle NYC. I'm looking forward to reviewing the new PS5!

Some of my favorite vendors I met with included Meredith Marks Jewelry, who uses gold, silver, precious stones such as diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds and semi-precious colored stones such as moonstone, quartz, opal and onyx. I absolutely love eLo Organic Lip Care, which is 100% organic, smells amazing and is super soft on the lips. My favorite scent is the Sangria one! 

NamaSTAY Yoga Towels are patented yoga towels with sleeves to attach to your yoga mat. They are slip-free, providing gripping traction for hands and feet. Blue Nun Wines offered their assortment of white wine and riesling. I also enjoyed chatting with Elena Murzello, author of The Love List, which contains practical tips and personal stories.

SEPHORA + PANTONE Pop-Up Greenhouse Featuring Radiant Orchid

Yesterday, March 27th, I stopped by the SEPHORA + PANTONE Pop-Up Greenhouse to celebrate the Color of the Year, Radiant Orchid. The Sephora makeup artists and Bumble and bumble hair styling team created my perfect spring look. The Eye: Radiant Femme Artistry Set for a smoky eye, Rush Luster Cheek Sweep and Radiant Paint Gloss were used for my evening look, while Bumble and bumble's Prêt à Powder and Cityswept Finish were used to create my loose waves. I got so many compliments on my look, I can't wait to recreate it myself! I also fell in love with the lip lacquer, which is a stunning, pigmented Radiant Orchid gloss.

Guests also enjoyed mini cupcakes, candy and refreshments and captured their new spring look at the digital photo booth. Each service took about 15 minutes and then I was on my way! There's one day left for you to stop by the pop-up for complimentary beauty services! The pop-up is located at Big Screen Plaze, behind the Eventi Hotel, at W 29th Street between Avenue of the Americas and 7th Avenue.

techSTYLE Lounge at New York Fashion Week

Hair styling by Bumble and Bumble, sunglasses by Velvet Eyewear

Bumble and bumble hosted the techSTYLE Lounge on September 9th and 10th at the House of Bumble at 415 W. 13th Street, during New York Fashion Week. Bumble and bumble provided complimentary dry styling and The V Spot served up tasty vegan empanadas and organic quinoa with salsa. 

The techSTYLE Lounge was the perfect place to unwind and recharge, while checking out lounge sponsors including pop chips, Bella Terra cosmetics, Pour le Monde Perfumes, Namecheap, shopping app Shadoobie, Efva Attling, Velvet Eyewear, Julie Brown Designs and Just Soles. I'm obsessing over ALTAR Herbal Martinis, alcohol-free beverages that can also be paired with fine spirits. There are five different flavors - Aphrodisiac, Bliss, Chi, Restore and Chill. PINCHme provided attendees with early access to boxes filled with product samples from top beauty brands.

Here's a video highlight from the techSTYLE lounge
