On Thursday, May 12th, I attended the Mango Model-Stylist Event hosted by the beautiful,Miss Natalie Suarez from Natalie Off Duty. I attended alone and made a straight bee-line to say hello to Natalie. She was uber cool, super nice, down-to-earth, gorgeous and chic in her little Mango chiffon dress. I also participated in the styling contest, I just couldn’t help myself. The rules were simply style your own Mango looks within a budget of $150 or $300, get your hair and make up done by Sephora and get your picture taken. Natalie was the judge and would choose 3 finalists from each category. All 6 winners each received a Mango gift card of either $500, $250, or $100.
Much to my surprise as I was out luggage shopping Saturday, I got a call from Mango telling me that I had won 2nd place in the $300 category (the only one I was able to enter since I was rushing to get to the Satya Jewelry Blogger Preview). I was ecstatic and in disbelief – how perfect a final shopping spree before I leave for vacation.
Here are a few photos from the event and of me & Natalie which she featured on her blog – check it out HERE.
The outfit I put together that won me 2nd place – love the shoes OMG.
Can’t wait to show you guys what I bought with my prize ๐

I was coveting these sailor shirts & the nude peep-toe in the background
The girls were working the camera, having fun.
I loved these shirts – perfect for the summer.
Thanks to Strawberry, Sephora Make-Up artist who did my make up. She did an amazing job!
I loved this guy, I think his name was Joey. His outfit rocks & I’m pretty sure he won.

I'm so happy you won. You looked so chic! Love your orange dress and necklace. And hello makeup! lol. I have never seen you with bright lips. It totally transforms your face. I noticed Ms. Strawberry did the winged eye I kept telling you to do ๐ See how it suits you! Love you!

Hey there! I was at this event! Probably bumped into you without even knowing ๐ Congrats on the win, btw!! Love the orange number you put together and loving the lipstick too ๐ Thanks so much for the comment on my blog.
I think I may just go ahead and buy the Lita's. If I can't live with myself after, they'll look great peaking out from under some super long pants ๐
