RECAP: Ann Taylor + Birchbox ‘Ready Set Finished’ event

Last week I checked out ‘Ready, Set, Finished’ — an event at the Flatiron Ann Taylor store, which was held with Birchbox and Jessica of Bows and Sequins.

There was a crazy line outside before the event, showing just how much ladies love makeup & fall clothes!

This top may look like an ordinary top

… but there’s a chic surprise on the back. 

Loving this stone necklace

In case you were wondering the bow back top comes in other colors, including this cherry red.

This jacquard pencil skirt was one of my purchases from that night … 

This cherry red peplum dress is to die for …

The pattern mixing on this dress is totally on trend for fall …

Oxblood faux leather panels on a pencil skirt. Stop it.

Tuxedo details are popping up everywhere this fall, too … these pants are hot.

This whole outfit — especially the skirt — is perfect for work.

This hunter green blouse is ultra luxe.

I received this equestrian charm bracelet at the fall preview, and cannot wait to wear it this fall!

This dress is another superb example of pattern mixing in one piece —

If you’ve never heard of Birchbox … this is a perfect tagline.

Juice Beauty was there as well, doing makeup, showing how to get the perfect fall face to go with all of your new fall clothes. 
I love events that mix fashion and beauty … totally genius.
