MOI XOXO

There are only two reasons I’d wake up at 5:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning — if I had to catch a plane to a far off tropical location, OR if I had the chance to see the latest Holiday & Summer makeup trends at the Nordstrom Cosmetics Trend Show. For those of us outside the world of what I guess is supposed to be true fashion, glamour and more, they have these “shows” that they call “Trend Shows” (well, at least Nordstrom does), twice a year during Fall for the Holiday forecast, and during June for the Summer season. I used to think who would be crazy enough to wake up at 5:30 a.m. to go look at makeup and fashion. Little did I realize I wasn’t the only ones. When you arrive at Nordstrom at 7:30 am, there is already a line of women waiting out front. You go, ladies! To attend a Nordstrom Cosmetics Trend Show, visit their web site for dates and locations near you. There’s a modest $15.00 cover charge, which applies toward any beauty/cosmetics purchases you make on the day of the event. If you love cosmetics but are NOT a morning person, then be forewarned: the Trend Show is kinda like a rock concert. There’s loud music, hot models, screaming women (no joke!) and unbridled makeup and fashion enthusiasm! DVF flowing dresses, Tommy Bahamas beach totes, & sea foam blue eyeshadow from Mac’s new summer collection were to die for!

Until Fall 2008!
