Let's Pretend

This past Saturday Pretend City, Bloomingdale's and Juggling in Heels came together to play dress up, get pampered, do some shopping and support Mentoring USA.  I am not sure who had more fun, me or the kids.  Pretend City brought in lockers, each filled with different professions.  The children could dress up in their favorite career, get their picture taken or even make a flip book (this might have been my favorite).  Meanwhile, the moms were able to sit for a second and get pampered by Chanel, Lancome, Jo Malone and Estee Lauder.  The kids snacked on mini peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (I perhaps grabbed a few too...they were incredible) and sipped on purple lemonade while the moms enjoyed mini cupcakes and a delicious mocktail.  Here are just a few photos of the day.  Thank you so much Bloomingdale's for letting me be a part of such a great event!

Kids (and Moms) Day Out

I always love when fashion and a great cause come together for an event.  I have been working with Bloomingdale's on this event for a while and now that everything has been finalized, I can share!  Here it is!

This is one party for everyone!

Bloomingdale's Fashionable Fundraiser* is supporting Mentoring USA with Juggling in Heels and Pretend City** here to help!

Bring your kiddos to the Children's department to experience the exhibit,

The Grown-up in Me

Every child fantasizes about what they want to be when they grow-up.  Pretend City Children's Museum will encourage your child to be anything they would like to be!  Children will have the opportunity to dress the part of numerous community helpers while learning more about their daily tasks and the tools each helper uses.  They will have the opportunity to experience:

Librarian

Gas Station Attendant

Doctor 

Chef

Police Officer

Dentist

Mail Man

Fire Fighter

Farmer

Construction Worker

Fisherman

Grocery Store Clerk

Meanwhile, mom's can get pampered in Bloomingdale's exclusive beauty lounge, located right in the Children's department!

But that is not it!
