Headquarters in Honolulu

Last week I was lucky enough to hop on a plane and head over to Hawaii. You may think I was off on a vacay getaway, but actually it was all work… and some play. Now that I am officially a sales rep for Tori Richard Honolulu, the next step is to hit headquarters in Honolulu.

I first took a tour of the offices, from the design department to the rooftop lounge and everywhere in between. I was even able to attend meetings for a sneak peek at Summer 2019. My favorite part was flipping through vintage files and fabrics.

After headquarters, we headed to the flagship store in Honolulu. I was excited to make my first stop to a corporate Tori shop. It was full of fab prints so of course I had to snag these chic pieces.

This store was gorgeous, and I couldn’t wait to make my way to the Royal Hawaiian to see our second location. The hotel was covered in pink and palm trees, two of favorite things. Walking through you can view our fabulous fashions before you hit the beach. What more could you ask for?

Well I have to say the top of my trip was on- location photoshoot fun. I was asked to be a model in their national ad campaign, and I couldn’t wait to participate. We shot all over the island, from the beach to the marina and more. It was so fun to be styled in the summer collection, but the best part was rocking roller skates. That’s all I can spill for now, you will have to wait until summer to see for yourself. Until then, see you soon Hawaii!

Valentine’s Date at the Pink Palace

Stepping into Lillyland was like a Palm Beach dream. We were driving down the chilly streets of King of Prussia, passing piles of snow, when we made a stop at the Pink Palace. It was everything I envisioned and more. Walking up each step I became more and more excited by what was behind those glam glass doors.

Inside was a vision of Worth Avenue, with walls painted a shade of lemonade, and lined with porches and palms made to resemble this elite street. As you may know, it all started with a juice stand… and while the champagne flowed, we all had a mimosa toast, what a great start to a great day!

I looked around and found my friends from other signature stores. It was so nice to see my favorite familiar faces. We started to get seated along the sea of pink and green chairs, as the CEO began to speak. We were surrounded by elegant ensembles as we watched the sneak peek of the fashions they were about to unveil for fall.

We then made our way into a small conference room with a wall full of never-before-seen fashions. We quickly breezed through lookbooks and made notes on our potential buy as we sipped our champs and chewed on pineapple cups of candy. Watching the fit model walk by truly brought each look to life. We were even able to sift through the racks and feel all of the fabulous fabrics. Once the presentation came to a close, we headed back into the lobby to make our final decisions.

Now girls, you know how exciting it is to buy Lilly for yourself, imagine what it is like to buy it for your store! Once our choices were made, we said our goodbyes, snapped some sweet pics, and hit the road. It was hard to leave, but I was happy to think about the next time I’ll head back to headquarters. Until then, homeward bound!
