Last week, I had the absolute pleasure of attending the opening of the Eddie Bauer flagship on 15th street and 5th avenue. They really know how to throw a party, complete with live music (you might have seen it on my snapchat), food trucks, tons of prizes, a photobooth, and more! I went with a specific goal in mind: award a lucky reader with a $500 shopping spree in the brand new store, courtesy of Eddie Bauer. The lucky winner was Kelsey. Matte red lips? Girl after my own heart! As it turns out, Kelsey just moved to NYC (by way of Kentucky) and saw my instagram about the party – so this was a nice way to welcome her to our city! We headed inside the store and did some shopping. She picked out a packable backpack, gingham blouse, and a darling chambray dress, and left lots of room on her gift card to come back and shop some more.

I also got to introduce Kelsey to my dear friend Christine, and thankfully caught up with Jordan  before her big move out west. Shopping, food trucks, friends, and a bluegrass band? I’ll come to your party anytime, Eddie Bauer. Thanks for having me, and welcome to New York, Kelsey!
