Duane Reade Grand Opening Party Coverge one word AMAZING
July 6, 2011
I was invited to attend the grand opening party for Duane Reade on 40 Wall Street last night. I had no idea what I would find when I got there. One word AMAZING! I felt like I had walked into a new department store. I actually asked the people who checked me in if I was at the right party! Props to Duane Reade for thinking soooo out of the box- a Salon in Duane Reade? Who ever thought this would happen? Below I captured some shots on my blackberry & droid of the people I met and the things I saw and my nail experience with the amazing nail technician Barbara. I did not make it over to the smoothie bar or the sushi section but promise to have some special video coverage coming soon for more details :)
Check out the ceilings and arches and my friend Ted Rubin in this picture below :)
These Columns are extraordinary
My new friends Blogger Rachel Ferrucci & Owner/Director of Digital Media of Smarties Candy Liz Dee
We were excited to find Liz's candies selling at Duane Reade. I was sooo excited to meet one of the family owners of this amazing candy I have been eating since I was a little girl. Looking forward to collaborating with both Rachel and Liz soon!
What there is a SALON in DUANE READE? Seriously one stop shopping and services. What is next?
I love cracked Mirrors which resided in the nail area. So beautiful it makes me want to get my nails done in Duane Reade all the time :)
Below is the amazing Barbara she is a celebrity nail technician whose first day on the job was yesterday. She did my nails that were not manicured in weeks and made them look gorgeous. I fell in love with Barbara and have so much more to tell you about her. So will leave that to my video post coming soon.
