A Week of Glamour with Joanna Krupa & Morgan Marie Beauty

Our weekend event posts usually consist of what’s happening all around Chicago, but today we want to share some upcoming events the MDPR team is looking forward to next week!

Monday, November 4:

Monday is the season finale of The Real Housewives of Miami and what better way to watch the last episode than with the star of the show herself, Joanna Krupa! We can't wait to watch her tie the knot with longtime fiancé, Romain Zago.  

What makes this event even more amazing is all of the great sponsors!  The evening wouldn’t have been possible without: Acchaa Spa, A Mind and Body Total Fitness, Citizen Stone, Christian Karin, Fly First, Leah Chavie Skincare Boutique, ParadigmNext, Sugar Hills Bakery, Public Hotel and CS Brides. 

To purchase tickets, visit privateviewing.eventbrite.com. Proceeds will benefit Joanna’s charity, Angels for Animal Rescue.  

Let's send well wishes to the new Mrs!

Tuesday, November 5:

Our second event of the week is just as exciting—the ladies of Morgan Marie Beauty are throwing a preview party of their first ever holiday collection!  The beauty line will be introducing a limited edition palette of 5 shadows, 2 blushes and a bronzer, an invisible blotting powder, 10 new lipsticks and 6 new lip glosses. All MMB products will be available for purchase, so you can event knock out some holiday shopping. 

Guess will enjoy makeup touchups and tips, raffle prizes and signature cocktails and sweets! The ladies will also be revealing the first face of Morgan Marie Beauty! Can you guess who it is?

We hope to see you next week!

Birthday Wish Lists

September is going to be an exciting month for the MDPR team as both Emily and Allison have birthdays to celebrate! Naturally, much of the office chit chat as of late has been centered around what items the gals have their eyes on as prospective b-day gifts. For today's #FridayFashion post, we asked the girls to narrow down their list to just five items (a difficult task for any fashionista), and here's what they chose.

ALLISON

Dress:

"I've been looking for a dress with longer sleeves for fall and this J.Crew one fits the bill. I'll wear it with tights and booties when the weather cools down."

Heels:

"Pointed toe heels are in again and I have my eye on this classic black pair by Vince."

Purse:

"Coach's Legacy bags are based on purses from the 70s with a few modern updates. I love the double turn locks on their Guesset bag and the rich cognac brown leather."

Trench:

"If I could splurge on one item it would be a Burberry trench. I dream of having one in my closet someday!"

Boots:

"My leather boots are pretty worn so it's about time I invest in a new pair. I would love to unwrap these riding boots from Madewell."

EMILY

Pants:

"I've been searching high and low for a wearable but still edgy pair of (vegan) leather pants, and I finally found them in these 7 For All Mankind skinnies. The paneling and zippers add the perfect amount of interesting detail that I look for in all of my items."

Booties:

"The Steve Madden booties are not only practical, but totally on trend due to the cutout. I see myself wearing these everyday, with everything from jeans to dresses to shorts (as long as the weather allows)."

Dress:

Every girl needs a new birthday party dress, no? You can't see it here, but the back has a low cutout. That and the studs around the neck make this BCBGeneration dress perfect for a fun celebration."

Purse:

I love bold colors (not that you would know that from the other items on my list), so this hot pink Deux Lux purse is just calling my name. It's also spacious and has studs, so what's not to love?"

Coat:

"Not your traditional coat. The two-tone and fringe-detailing of this BB Dakota coat make it a standout piece, and I look for that in something I'll be wearing almost everyday during fall and winter." 

Here's to hoping all their wishes (or at least one) come true!
