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.

LuLu*s Style Studio at New York Fashion Week

On Friday, February 13th, LuLu*s Style Studio at 404 (404 Tenth Avenue) was the perfect place to wind down and catch up with my blogger babes after attending some shows during New York Fashion Week.

This year at LuLu*s Style Studio, attendees enjoyed makeovers by NYX Cosmetics and massages by Shea Moisture. Some favorites from this year's beauty sponsors include 100% Pure's Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream, Sigma Beauty's E47 Shader Crease Travel Brush, Rosebud Perfume Co. Lip Balm, NYX Cosmetics Eye Shadow and Jumbo Eye Pencil, the Balm How 'Bout Them Apples Cheek & Lip Cream, Bodyography Electric Lip Slide, Show Stoppers Double Stick Designer Tape and Shea Moisture's Superfruit Complex Body Lotion.

Each attendee enjoyed drinks courtesy of Hpnotiq and chose a clothing piece from the Style Studio. The racks were filled with clothing racks from tops and jackets to skirts and dresses, based on style trends - Edgy, Uptown Prep, Sweetheart, Vixen and Boho. I went with a black Mink Pink crop sweater. Guests also tweeted to win prizes, so I was happy to win a $50 lulus.com gift card to help with some spring shopping!

Thanks to LuLu*s for a fun night of fashion and beauty!
