yosi samra: camp yosi event …

January 29, 2014

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to attend an amazing event with Yosi Samra, a NYC based shoe designer.

The theme of the night was “Camp Yosi,” and all the decor and party details were spot on!

There was a gorgeous spread complete with marshmallow garlands!

The indoor s’mores were a big hit!

I should be a hand model, right? 😉

It was fun to reconnect, and meet with these amazing Utah bloggers! #babes

The Yosi team was so welcoming and friendly!

It was fun to chat with Yosi himself, and learn more about his amazing shoes!  He designs foldable ballet flats that fit into a little bag, so if you need to quickly change into a pair of comfy shoes, you can bring them on the go.  Genius right?!

The shoes are all made from top quality leather, and you can tell they are well made, and buttery soft!

Of course all of us bloggers had to take advantage of the cute decor to grab some group shots!

Here’s our best “act natural candid shot.”

The event was complete with a DIY anklet bar, and a shoe bar!

So many cute choices, it was hard to pick a favorite!

I think we were all happy with our picks!

I ended up with these darling neon yellow leather flats (I am not one to shy away from bright pops of color, plus they matched my hat!).  I’ve been walking around in them constantly and they are so comfortable!

And, I nearly died at the sneak peek of a few new designs Yosi has been working on!  Can you believe those oxfords?!  They will also be coming out with a men’s line, and a little boys line soon!  In the mean time, check out their little girl shoes, I die!

Thanks to the amazingly talented team who put this event together!  Photos by Jessica Kettle.

I’ve been working with GlassesUSA.com the last little bit to help me pick out some new eyeglasses.  It couldn’t come at a more perfect time, because I was in need of some new prescription glasses!
I like how their website is set up to allow you to upload a picture of you so you can “try on” all of their glasses with their new virtual mirror feature.

I had a hard time narrowing down all the options.  I was surprised about the amount of choices they had, and for such a reasonable price!  I finally narrowed it down to these four.  I thought the clear were so fun!
I decided to go with the muse tortoise shell glasses.  
I had a hard time choosing just one, and I love to have prescription sunglasses because when it’s sunny out and I am driving in the day.
I decided on the Muse Arthur Tortoise glasses, and had them tint them for sunglasses.
It’s been fun running around town in my new specs!

product review + giveaway: albion fit …

February 26, 2013

I was contacted by albion fit to do a review and giveaway of one of their products on the blog.  I was excited when they asked me to do this because I was actually in the market for some new workout clothes, mainly workout bottoms, so I was excited to try out the optimum capri’s.

I’ve been able to wear these during my workouts, and even around the house a bit, and my first impression was that I was very impressed with the overall quality.  You can tell just by the feel of the fabric that it is really good quality.  I love the compression fabric that keeps everything where it should be while you’re working out, and the extra wide waistband is nice and comfortable!

Albion also has a great selection not only of women’s fitness wear, but also women’s swim wear that you can check out on their site!  I was also excited to see that they are a local company, and will be opening a store in March at City Creek in downtown SLC!

I am excited that albion fit wants to offer one of my lucky readers a pair of these amazing exercise capris!

For a chance to win, all you have to do is visit the Albion facebook page, and like their page, then visit their shop, and leave a comment here to tell me that you liked their Facebook page, and what is your favorite item from their site!

You have until Sunday, March 3, 2013 at midnight to enter.  The winner will be chosen on March 4th!

You also can take $15 off any Albionfit.com purchase of $50 or more with the code armelle15 at checkout.  (Expires 3/3/2013)

Good Luck!
