For me it's been a bit of something I have backed far, far away from lately. Blog Events. You know those things we attend and cover that don't mostly pay us, you know 'free commercials'.
I haven't been about them for awhile now. There I said it.
It's been a rare event to get me out of hiding. I have attended more this summer than my usual, just slower than my normal getting them posted.
Then one day TWO events that for the most part overlapped time wise, lured me out of hiding, so like any NYC smarty pants I attended the one closest to me first, then scrambled like a maniac to get to the second one.
I haven't yet covered the first one, mums the word on that one because I want to work on something special for YOU too, so I am sort of covering that day out of order (you will find that happening a lot this year - what I can say, I have been so busy living my life that it's left me with less time than usual to blog about it.)
I arrived too late to enter a great raffle that was drawing literally when I got there, here is a shot of the CEO drawing the lucky winner:
About Attrenti:
Attrenti is a comfort high heel shoe developed for socially active and fashion minded women. It's an adaptable and adjustable high heel shoe that combines comfort and style. Their patent-pending clip and rail system allows straps to shape around a woman’s individual foot to provide a superior fit. Their removable and adjustable straps give women the ability to change their look throughout the day. Each shoe is able to be transformed into countless combinations on one shoe base. Attrenti's heel also features interchangeable 4 inch heels that utilize a simple push button system. The shoe comes in a variety of colors, designs and themed specialty heels, and women are able to switch from stiletto to block heels with just a click of a button.
Sadly, we didn't get to try them on personally so I borrowed the PR rep and asked if she would mind if I took some 'shoe cam' and she was kind enough to comply:
Here is a Lifestyle Video of the shoes:
This is the first time a gift bag completely knocked it out the park for me, it was literally as if someone had personalized it to me specifically, the contents included:
- The show stopper was the POET+JOY Wrist Wrap Clutch. Mine is called "Graphite Pop w/Bag Swag" (which is the dangles!). I love the metallic accent and tassel on this one. I am a handbag freak. I may have let out a squeal when I saw this! But it is the hand-written note that made my day. It's an art that I thought was slowly dying.
The note said:
"We hope you enjoy wearing your Wrist Wrap Clutch as much as we love designing them. It is designed to keep your hands free to mix, mingle, & be your fabulous self!
Slip it on your wrist, climb into your happy shoes, & join us on the adventure we call Poet + Joy" ~ Mel Poet & Joy Chapman
CLASSY!
The Nude Bon Bon and Merlot Fizz colors from Poet + Joy are next on my hit list!
- The "If You Feel Like Dancing Earrings in Turquoise and Gold" by Ettika made me smile - I love Turquoise, especially in summer, these earrings will get so much use!
- The silver "Spring Bracelet" by Durrah Jewellery with the magnetic travel closure, sterling silver plated in rhodium is also going to get a ton of use. It pairs perfectly with the Wrap Bag by Poet + Joy too.
- Repairing Essence Daily Moisturizing Lotion by Deity - This is actually for HAIR, not face and I can't wait to try it out with Amino Acids, Herbs, Collagen, Jojoba and Vitamins I am sure my hair is going to drink it in.
- So Cozy Splash Swim Leave-In Treatment + Detangler is a lightweight conditioning treatment that protects, repairs and restores damage caused by pool chemicals, salt water and the sun. Spray on dry or damp hair, spray a bit on BEFORE your fun in the sun to protect against sun exposure, as it contains high doses of Vitamins A, D, E as well as UVA/UVB filters and antioxidants and vitamins.
- Suitable You was actually the tote bag all these goodies were contained in, I am not familiar with them but look forward to learning more! They help you build a work wardrobe that fits your style and budget. and having the clothes come to me so I can try them on at home instead of a dressing room sounds like a total SCORE to me!
- There was a cute high heel shoe necklace in there too which is on the right side of the Wrap Clutch in the photo above.
I love that you can buy the base for your normal shoe size, but if you have issues like a high instep or are wide width you can size up the strap, you can place the front strap where you need to in case you have a bunion, they are literally conforming to YOUR particular foot. Check out the Product Builder page, The Attrenti Shoe Kit comes with a shoe base pair, 3 different heel widths and a pair of Swarovski Crystals for $299.95 (regularly $399.95) during pre-order only and straps are sold separately. I also love the different widths of the heel, I have never been a stiletto girl and like a wider heel thickness.
And if anyone has 'problem child' feet like me and have had to go custom, you know just how sky high custom shoes can be, I can assure you it's WAY more than this and they are no where near as cute.
The swag bag was literally all that, but didn't include the shoes because they are still in pre-order.
I definitely need a pair of review units in my life as soon as they are available. I already hit the product builder and built my dream pair, being a New Yorker I will start with Black of course, with criss cross toe strap, criss cross wide ankle strap and since I am an April Baby, the Swarovski Crystal has to be 'Diamond' for me of course! I am also living for the Ruby Crystal, as Red is an Aries color. I see some cute Instagram posts in my foot future!
