Forum Shops Spring Blogger Event Recap

Forum Shops Spring Blogger Event Recap

Last week myself and 7 of Las Vegas’ top Influencers/Bloggers were hosted by the Forum Shops at Caesars for a Spring shopping tour.

One of my favorite things to do is to meet up with other bloggers to share insights, chat about how much we all hate algorithms (lol), have a few cocktails and of course SHOP- everything really is better with friends right!  If you follow me on Instagram you saw snippets of our tour in my stories but now it’s time for the main event.

We dubbed this “the Champagne Campaign” because there was yummy Champagne and Mimosa’s at every stop!

First up was Rimowa.  A leader in technology, known for their light and strong grooved luggage, this iconic German company was the first to use aluminum and then in later years polycarbonate in its designs. They also pioneers the use of the patented, ball bearing-mounted Multiwheel system. With it, even heavy cases can be turned and rotated effortlessly in any direction.

Seriously these babies wheel around like a dream!  I was amazed at how easy it was to maneuver this suitcase even in a tight space.  I am constantly dragging suitcases around packed full of wardrobe and struggling with them- unable to turn and always them tipping over- pulling this baby was like going from driving a 15 passenger van to a sleek sports car!  From Flintstones to Jetsons…..I know what my next investment piece will be!

Rimowa has these fun  sticker books- and a wall of cool stickers like the Las Vegas one on the suitcase above that let you customize and add some flair to your piece.

They set our group loose with the stickers to decorate a piece and this was our creation…….

Next up was Club Monaco.  I have been a HUGE fan of Club Monaco for decades but we never had one here in Las Vegas until recently!

Known for its thoughtfully designed, purposeful collections featuring relevant, wearable pieces, fine fabrics and exceptional fits this high street retailer offers luxe pieces at affordable prices.

The Spring 2019 Club Monaco Collection is called “Breath of Fresh Air” which focuses on breezy dresses, lightweight knitwear and feather light fabrics. A color palette of ocean greens and tranquil blues works perfectly for the spring season.

I’ve been all-in on neutrals lately and Club Monaco serves it up in glorious waves!  You saw the GORGEOUS ocean-hued dress I got at this event in my OOTD last week. I can’t even explain how luxe the fabric feels- you really need to pop into the store and touch it for yourself.

Onto Robert Graham.

Robert Graham is all about COLOR.  Their instantly identifiable shirts crafted with unique garment-making techniques and complex textile patterns are the top choice of men who like a little eclectic pop to their look but did you know they launched a WOMENS collection … and that it’s so dang amazing.

Forum Shops Spring Blogger Event Recap

My jaw dropped when I saw this collection.  I had no idea Robert Graham had even launched a womens collection! The patterns, the colors, the prints!  My print mixing loving self was in heaven.

The collection includes, wrap dresses, tailored shirts, jackets, kimono tops, palazzo pants, shorts and fun Hawaiian style camp shirts in tropical colors and textures with boldly adventurous patterns and classic yet unexpected twists.  Its the perfect blending of a feminine viewpoint with the spirit, color and charismatic style that defines Robert Graham.

I was totally obsessed with the womens collection but these mens swim trucks were also a standout for me.

When you first look at them they are sold but once they get wet they reveal a spray paint wall graffiti print with the RG logo.  So fun!

Our next stop was the brand new Ray Ban boutique.

Oh Ray Ban, how I love you.  You have been with me for decades…..

Ray Ban is a classic.  We have all owned or currently own at least one pair of these iconic sunnies BUT I have breaking news- you can get your prescription glasses AT RAY BAN NOW!

We wrapped the tour up at one of my favorite dining spots, Sushi Roku who just launched a VEGAN OMAKASE Menu- yes my Vegan friends you can have a four course Omakase VEGAN meal at Sushi Roku and it’s delish.

We sampled the yummy Vegan menu which I really enjoyed.  It was light but totally filling, satisfying and packed full of flavor.

Then we were treated to a Sushi making class by Sushi Roku’s Head Sushi Chef where we learned the secret to great sushi is using Japanese rice- which is grown in California lol.  Japanese rice has a short polish grain which is what makes it perfect for sushi.

This event was one of the most amazing whirl-wind tours I have ever been on. Thank you so much to The Forum Shops for putting together such a fun series of activities!

Did you discover something new in this post?  What will be your next stop at The Forum Shops?

Forum Shops Pre-Fall Blogger Event

Last weekend I spent a fun filled day with my blogging babes and The Forum Shops at Caesars.

We received a hosted tour of the shops and a pre-fall peek  into some of the season’s must-have’s.

Dior Makeup Forum Shops

Our first stop was at DIOR Makeup where we arrived perfectly timed with the launch of DIOR JOY which landed in boutiques just a few days ago!

DIOR JOY

JOY is the first new fragrance DIOR has launched in over 12 years so you can imagine how anxiously awaited it has been.  The scent combines zested Bergamot and Mandarin with Grasse Rose, Jasmine, warm creamy sandalwood and a whisper of musk.

The bottle has a clean, modern design and Jennifer Lawrence is the face of the campaign.  Even though I am more of a cologne than an Eau de Parfum kind of gal I really enjoyed the scent.  It’s clean, modern and ultra mood boosting.  It has a wonderful citrus base so it isn’t too “perfumey” it’s a scent I would totally rock.

Forum Shops Pre-Fall Blogger Event

Ever tried on a scent, purchased it and then walked out of the store only to learn about 10 minutes later after the scent develops that it doesn’t mesh with your body chemistry?  Well the experts at DIOR taught us how to best try a scent.  Once you spritz it on a pulse point press down with three of your finger’s on top of the scent for about 20 seconds to warm the fragrance.  That is how you will achieve the “true” way the scent will develop with your body chemistry.

After a spritz, spritz and some pics we were off to a pre-fall shoe preview at Stuart Weitzman.

Boots, boots so many scrumptious boots!  I am OBSESSED with the Veruka bootie.  Seriously I only had eyes for it and took photos of it in every color-way.

It combines the edginess of classic combat boots with the fashion forward right-nowness of sock booties. More refined than rugged, the mid-calf Veruka boots were designed with a leather stretch sock detail for a subtly slouchy silhouette. They feature leather wraparound laces, the Stuart Weitzman signature metal square studs and a sleek rounded block heel.

One of my favorite things about Stuart Weitzman is their innovate designs and stretch features to their boots.  They are one of the few brands whose OTK (Over the knee) and OTC (over the calf) boots fit EVERY BODY TYPE because they design them with stretch!  They are also one of only about 3 designer brands that in addition to regular sizing also carry fringe sizes in shoes (size under 5 and over 10).

Stuart Weitzman Fall 2018

Another standout is the SW-612 Sneaker.  Talk about chic comfort!  Distinguished by a sock-like silhouette and finished with leather-wrapped elastic ruching detail around the ankle, leather pull tab topped with the SW signature metal square stud and miniature square stud on the back of the sole. These sport-chic stars feature a removable insole and flexible construction — they are designed to be folded for easy storage and effortless travel plus they look super cool!

…and more shoes!

Our next stop was Sam Edelman.  I have been blog posting, Instagramming and all around non-stop talking about animal prints for Fall 2018.

One, if not THE, biggest shoe trends for the season Sam Edleman offers some chic “off duty” and work friendly animal print options.

I am in love with the Loraine Loafer.  Sophisticated and chic the sleek sole and gold hardware make this menswear inspired loafer a perfect paring for power suiting, straight leg trousers and another seasonal must-have the turtleneck.

Our last fashion stop of the day was one of my personal favorite clothing brands Ted Baker.

Ted Baker Forum Shops

Focusing on moody florals, figure flattering silhouettes, lady-like details and ruffles the Ted Baker Fall 2018 Collection is Oh-so-Christie.

The collection combines sophisticated colors with lush and luxurious fabrics to create ultra-feminine looks in a color palette of  jewel tones includeing burgundy, teal, emerald green and vibrant orange, as well as pops of electric blues, acid yellow and fresh neon pink.

Seriously I would wear, and most likely will wear, everything in this collection.  Take a peek for yourself….

Gents I didn’t forget about you!

Animal Prints and Motifs are a HUGE Fall 2018 trend and Ted Baker has mastered it!  From prowling panthers to exotic birds in the form of sharply tailored silhouettes and elegant casual basics.  The color palette, similar to the womens collection, features teal, vibrant orange, emerald green, black and dark purple mixed with a dash of Ted’s whimsical humor.
