Nordstrom Beauty Spot Launch with Exclusive Content and Beauty Inspiration for Fall

On August 6th, I attended the kickoff of Nordstrom Beauty Spot, the destination for all things beauty. To celebrate the new branding and digital campaign, Nordstrom has collaborated with six beauty, fashion and lifestyle tastemakers in featuring exclusive content and beauty inspiration for fall. The tastemakers include The Chriselle Factor - Chriselle Lim, Karla's Closet - Karla Deras, P.S. I Made This... - Erica Domesek, DJ Kiss - JaKissa Taylor-Semple, MP Nails - Madeline Poole and Joy the Baker - Joy Wilson.

During the celebration, guests previewed beauty trends and exclusive must-haves for fall and enjoyed beauty treatments at the hair, nail, makeup and lash stations, while listening to tunes by DJ Kiss.

Aidan Mattox Summer 2013

Spaghettis Strap Sequin and Tulle Dress ($158) and Bead Waist Dress (now $99.97 at Nordstrom.com)

Aidan Mattox Summer 2013 is perfect for all those city outings, from cocktail parties to charity and red carpet events, or for just a night out on the town. Mint, blush and champagne are popular colors to wear this summer, whether it's trimmed with leather, covered in lace or adorned with sequins. Aidan Mattox is one of my favorite go-to designers for eveningwear, because they have a great fit for petite people, with sizes starting at a size 0. Aidan Mattox is available at Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale's and Dillard's.

Faux Leather Trim Fit and Flare Dress ($295) and Sequin Minidress ($285)
