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.
