I stayed LATE at the Office!



Resident Fashonista!

As a single girl in the city I get to visit some of the towns coolest places.  My favorite of course are those that involve food and drink.  Last night I had the privilege to visit The Office Break Room & Bar - downtown on the square, nestled between Sam & Gregs Pizza and Amendment XXI. I was greeted at the door by a gracious partner of the establishment and asked if I was dinning upstairs?  Well yes I am he asked if this was my first time, and made sure I got the royal treatment!  Where does this happen anymore?  I felt like I was stepping into a fancy New York establishment.  Downstairs is a long diner like setting with the grill and cook area on display as you dine at the counter. 



Pure Elegance

  Upstairs is a totally different atmosphere with an elegant bar to your right and a very cozy set of tables to the left, where my friends and I dined.  The tables are set with an elegant loft-like feel, very sheik in design and the walls feature original art work that completes the design.  From the moment we entered the feel was welcoming and the attitude of the staff was that of how can we serve you!

The Mule

My friends insisted that I try "The Mule" a light and refreshing beverage starting with cucumber melon vodka.  It was delicious!!  It's served in a beautiful cold copper cup that only enhances the experience.   The cold metal pressed to the lips followed by the light refreshing drink is absolute profection.  I cannot wait to go back and have another....or two.  I chose the signature "OfficeBurger" for my entree, a plate of three perfect beef sliders with, gorgonzola aioli, balsamic glaze, and spring mix -- YUM!  

TheOfficeBurger

Delicious, just enough with a side of homemade potato chips.  The evening was wonderful - great atmosphere - great company - wonderful food and drinks.  This fashionista highly recommends that you stay LATE @ THE OFFICE! The Office Break Room & Bar that is!

 

LUXURY COMES TO HUNTSVILLE!

JO MALONE LONDON

Most recently I had the opportunity, nay the privilege, to visit Carol Marks at Jo Malone London at the new Belk at Bridge Street Town Centre.  The experience was pure luxury, which is exactly what Jo Malone London hopes to bring to Huntsville, Alabama. Jo Malone London is new to
Huntsville and to Belk.

This is a brand typically featured in high-end markets such as Neiman Marcus. From the minute you step into the boutique, you are greeted with a visual feast for the eyes!  Everything is very elegant, and the aromas are delicious,  but that is just the beginning of your shopping experience.


Carol Marks, a senior stylist at the boutique, guided me through the the beautiful sights and aromas of the brand.  As we browsed through the variety of products, Carol was able to discover which scents I like as well as those that do not appeal to me.  Quite honestly, all of the scents are lovely and have a light delicate feel.
Carol explained to me that about 1000 different ingredients are used to make up typical fragrance.
Jo Malone London, however uses  around 250 to 300 ingredients which makes for a delicate architecture to each scent! After Carol and I discussed the things I liked, we sat down for a mini spa treatment.  We started with a scrub on the backs of my hands and arms...LOVED IT!  Then she artfully layered the scents we had chosen starting with the most luxurious lotion (skin felt amazing) followed by a spritz of perfume.  This layering technique is the distinguishing feature of Jo Malone London.  Everything goes together; yes, it is hard to believe, but all of the scents can be combined so your stylist helps you to create a fragrance architecture built just for you!  We continued my experience by trying a different combination of scents on the other arm.  When I left, not only did I have some wonderful products, but I felt relaxed, refreshed, and ready to face the world... all on my lunch break!  They are very willing to accommodate your schedule.  Make sure to look at their hand-poured candles, as well.  Girls, this is a first for Belk and a first for Huntsville. Do not miss the chance to go by and try this luxury brand that is Jo Malone London, and tell em' Cameron sent you!

Just in, Carol can also facilitate a special show for you and a few of your besties in the boutique!  Hand and arm massages, refreshments, and girl time at JML!  Hostess gets 10% in total sales to spend at the boutique!!  Book your party today!
