Macy’s Culinary Council Presents Todd English

Posted on June 6, 2016by Brandy Saldana

By now I think it should be of no surprise that I am a fan of cooking demos. One of my favorite shows on Netflix is Chopped and I love seeing how creative chefs can be with food. Seeing a cooking demo live is always a treat and with summer get-togethers just around the corner I wanted to let you know that this Saturday, June 11 at 1PM, Chef Todd English will be hosting a cooking demonstration at the Macy’s in the Westfield Valley Fair Shopping Center in Santa Clara, CA.
Chef English will be sharing some of his favorite award-winning dishes for Summer in his demo and plenty of delicious samples will be available to nibble on. No event is complete without a good deal, and any purchase of $35 or more in the Home department will result in a special gift from Macy’s.

This event is hosted by the Macy’s Culinary Council and tickets to the demo are free! All you need to do is RSVP for a seat and to secure your samples. RSVP to the cooking demo at toddenglishmacysvf.eventbrite.com. You’ll get a $10 Macy’s Gift Card to use at the event when you RSVP. If you’d like more information for the event, you can check out Macy’s events page here. I recommend arriving early to get a seat, but also to shop and take advantage of the gift card.
I’ll be away for the weekend and will unfortunately be missing what sounds like a fun event, but let me know if you are attending!

Macy’s Prom Fashion Show 2015

Posted on March 29, 2015by Brandy Saldana

Yesterday I attended the Macy’s Prom Fashion Show event at the Valley Fair Mall in San Jose hosted by Youtube Vlogger Lindsey Hughes. Since I went shopping for my own Prom dresses at this store with my Mom, it was only fitting that I invited her as my date! We arrived and received wristbands for a Meet + Greet with Lindsey after the show. I don’t spend as much time on Youtube checking out beauty vloggers, so it might come as less of a shock for me to say I didn’t know who she was. I did check out a few of her videos right before the event and in meeting her after the show, I could see was just a genuine and sweet as she appears.

I loved a number of the dresses that walked down the runway, but I will admit I was surprised with the whole crop top trend for Prom. I am not sure how many school dress codes would even allow that (I know mine would not), but I appreciated some of the versatility of the skirts. Here are my favorite looks of the show:

Bright colors were big, along with print dresses. I loved the prints, but my favorite dresses featured sequins. I would have opted for a rich color like cobalt blue if I were to go to Prom again, but I would love something with sequins and feathers as well.

I especially loved this last dress as you can tell. Hope you enjoyed my pictures of the fashion show and let me know what would you wear to Prom if you were to go?

Lady Antebellum “We Own the Night” Concert

Such a fun Friday night! I know this post came a little late, but I had a concert to attend last night. Lady Antebellum was performing at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, and I had purchased my tickets back in January. I was really excited to see them during the We Own the Night World Tour.
My outfit last night did not feel too out of place amidst all the cowboy hats and boots worn by the women, and men, there. I did have work in the morning, and the only difference was that I wore black flats to be able to run to BART after work and meet Armando in Fremont to drive down to San Jose on time. I was inspired by Hillary Scott’s dress that she wore on the Album Cover of We Own the Night with its black and nude detail, as well as because of how romantic the style looked. I admired that Hillary Sott also wore Christian Louboutins while performing, and I believe it was when I watched their video “Just a Kiss” that I really was drawn by her style. I had a blast watching them perform live, and enjoyed it more watching it with the person I know is “the one I’ve been waiting for my whole life”.
