Devotion Vodka and Exhibitionism - The Rolling Stones

On Friday, January 6th, I attended a Devotion Vodka tasting at Sugar Factory at 835 Washington Street, followed by a visit to Exhibitionism - The Rolling Stones exhibit. The Sugar Factory was the perfect setting for Devotion Vodka to showcase signature cocktails in Sugar Factory's large goblets, garnished with lollipops and candy necklaces. In case you haven't experienced Devotion Vodka yet, it's the world's first gluten free and sugar free Vodka. It amazes me that my face doesn't turn red and I do not wake up with a hangover when I drink Devotion Vodka!

The signature cocktails during the vodka tasting included Sugar & Stones (Blue Cotton Monin, Coconut Monin, Splash Lemon Spritzer, and Devotion Vodka), Sunshine Tea (Devotion Tiki Tea, Limoncello and Devotion Citrus), and Lollipop Passion (Devotion Citrus, Coconut Rum, and Boulaine Melon).

Exhibitionism - The Rolling Stones at Industria at 775 Washington St. is an incredibly cool exhibit, with a style & fashion gallery that spans from the 1960s to the present, with clothing from Alexander McQueen, Prada, Dior, Gucci, L'Wren Scott, Jean Paul Gaultier and more. There is also a vintage guitar gallery, a reconstruction of 'Edith Grove,' their first shared flat in London, original artworks from Andy Warhol, David Bailey, John Pasche and more, interactive displays, a backstage recreation, and a 3D concert finale. Exhibitionism -The Rolling Stones ends on March 12th so see it while you still can!

Thank you Devotion Vodka for an awesome night of cocktails and The Rolling Stones!

Get Ready for the Holidays with B Collection By Bobeau, Hollie Watman and bobble

Get ready for the holidays and with the B by Bobeau Pop Up Shop in the Meatpacking District, at 410 West 14th Street. It's the perfect stopover for your last-minute gifts or picking up new activewear to get ready for the new year! 

I first checked out the pop up shop on December 10th, during a complimentary yoga class to help us get fit and ready for the holidays. The yoga class was hosted by B Collection By Bobeau, Exhale Spa, Hollie Watman, bobble and Rebbl.

After the class I previewed Hollie Watman's athleisure wear collection, and put together an outfit. I immediately fell in love with Hollie Watman's orchid print mesh contour capris (if you love mesh detailing you'll love Hollie Watman, and the XS is a great fit!), which I paired with the B Collection By Bobeau Iris tank in black. bobble helped us stay hydrated for our yoga class, keeping our water cold and refreshing. I love the fashionable colors of the bobble Insulate bottles, especially the  Holiday Insulate designs. I also got to sample some of Rebbl's elixirs, with Maca Mocha as my favorite. 

This is the first ever B Collection By Bobeau retail store in NYC, and the first time I've ever tried their clothing on, which has a great fit and is super comfy! Hollie Watman's NY-based label was just launched in 2016, with a focus on swim and activewear pieces inspired by travel and art. 

The pop up will be around until mid-January, so if you can't make it there before the holidays be sure to make it there after!

It's always great running into Lara of Pretty Connected! She looks amazing in her Hollie Watman outfit. How cool is that mesh hoodie? You can wear it over your swimsuit or workout wear.

On March 22nd, I attended the opening of the Sephora + Pantone Universe Pop-Up Color Shop, located north of 14th Street at 9th Avenue in the Meatpacking District, Chelsea Plaza.

The launch celebrates the Sephora + Pantone Universe Color of the Year Collection, centered on Pantone 17-1463 Tangerine Tango. At the Pop-Up Color Shop, consumers can receive one of three different Express Services from a Sephora artist at the Sephora Beauty Studio and learn tips and tricks for wearing this vibrant orange shade.

For my makeup touch-up, I was surprised at how wearable the Tangerine Tango Cream lipstick, Tangerine Tango Vivid lip gloss and Tangerine Tango Twist eyeliner are! Since I had to go back to the office, I didn't want too much of a dramatic look. My look ended up adding a burst of color without overdoing it. I love how this shade looks different and flattering on everyone. Can't wait to try out more from this collection!
