I was recently invited to participate in a Fall Fashion Preview event at Green Oak Village Place in Brighton. I had never been there before, but I was impressed with all of the stores and the plaza in general.

As I arrived at the event, I couldn’t believe how many awesome stores were in the plaza including a Buffalo Wild Wings and Panera Bread. This would make an excellent girls shopping day with stores like Loft, Victoria’s Secret, White House Black Market, Old Navy, DSW, Bath & Body Works, ULTA and more. It might be a great Black Friday shopping destination…

A number of bloggers were invited to the event so I got to catch up with old friends and meet some new people. I also had fun checking out the various displays the retailers had put on display.

One of the first tables I visited was Yankee Candle. They had some of the fall scents on display. I would love to try the Chocolate Layer Cake candle (I like my candles sweet!).

I checked out the White House Black Market table next and I love this store. I tried on this beautiful pearl bracelet which I loved. I didn’t see it online, so you may have to go to the store to get it:

Who am I to resist the beauty table? I visited Ulta next and they were doing a demo of their Dermalogica products, which I’ve never tried before.

You can actually make an appointment at Ulta’s salon and have a Dermalogica facial, which I got to try on my hand:

I was so excited to learn that I had won the door prize…a bag full of beauty goodies from Ulta!

In this picture you have Lauren from Mrs. Weber’s Neighborhood, Sarah from Coupon Savvy Sarah, Tiffany from Go Momma Coupons and me on the end.

As I was leaving, I spotted this beauty in the Dress Barn display! I found it online here in a different color, but I will have to go back to the store to get this color.

When I got home I got to check out all my goodies from the door prize…beauty score! Thank you to Green Oak Village Place for a fun night out!
