A couple of months ago, I posted about a contest to win a Furla Candy Bag from Duty Free City (original post here). Last Thursday, I was invited to attend their official grand opening, with red carpet coverage by none other than Cindy Matalucci of The Pulse! It was a fun and glamorous event, where I saw some familiar faces, like Tiffany (model, fellow San Diego Style Bloggers contributor and blogger of Glitz and Glam pictured above left) and the girls of Nubry (not pictured). I also had the chance to finally chat at length with Katie of La Jolla Mom (pictured above right), and meet someone new, like Heather and her lovely pug, Chloe of The Stylish Bisou (scroll down for our picture below).
As I’ve mentioned previously, Duty Free City is more than just a place to shop for luxury goods. Touted as a “lifestyle destination”, Duty Free City has it all: not only can I pamper myself for an afternoon, but I can take my whole family and they can also enjoy themselves in the process. Thank you to Be Social PR and Duty Free City for a lovely evening and congratulations on your newest location!
