During Fashion Week, there are so many activities that extend beyond runway shows and parties. It's a time for everyone to present what you can expect in upcoming seasons. As many of you know, I began my entry into the fashion world doing showroom modeling for intimate apparel. So when I had the opportunity to visit Victoria's Secret to see what was in store for this holiday, this was definitely a presentation that I was interested in. First, I was pleased to see some interesting images of the new store that will open on Lexington Ave. This new store makes me think that Audrey Hepburn would love to shop here due to many of the touches that will be added to this store - I can't wait to see it this holiday season!

The two main areas that Victoria's Secret focused on were updated looks of classic pieces that we enjoy from this brand and then of course rebranding their beauty items. In the world of intimates, I was pleased to see that there is a heightened attention to detail in terms of trim which makes the pieces even more interesting to the eye. In addition, I love the focus of lounge items that can be worn out or at least in small gatherings of people that may come over. A lot of these looks maintain that sense of attainable luxury and will definitely keep this brand on shoppers minds!

In the realm of beauty, there are various focuses. I love that there are product extensions of the Heavenly Angels brand! I remember that I loved wearing these in college and I always have a bottle for the days that I don't wear other perfumes that I have collected through time. I love that there has been a focus of repackaging on certain pieces which will present such a clean image and will allow the pieces to look just as amazing with Nars Cosmetics, MAC or whoever you happen to be carrying. I can't wait for Heidi Klum's line to hit stores where you will see some of the things that she loves to use. Finally, I love that the home is also tackled! With soaps, scents and more this is a perfect way to bring Victoria's Secret into your lifestyle!

Combined, this seems like a great way to enhance your closet in the upcoming season and in termsof holiday shopping, this is something that should be on your list. Speaking of shopping, as we left we received gift cards. I am always pleased to have a nice gift card; however, this had my name on it! For those that don't know what to get or have always wonder about whether it was appropriate, who wouldn't want to have their name on this card! It shows that time was taken and that you feel that they should have a hand in what they want to give themselves. Although this will be offered in select stores, this is perfect to think about when gifting or doing stocking stuffers! I really appreciate the time that was taken in walking me through various concepts and hope that I can continue to share these items with you!
