Thank You To Saks Fifth Avenue

Where should we begin to thank Robin and Deidre at the flagship Michigan Avenue Saks Fifth Avenue for hosting an event for us last night?  When we walked into the private Fifth Avenue Club it was set up beautifully.  There were white chairs theatre-style, a fabulous spread of sandwiches, cheeses, chips, potato salad, cookies, brownies, soda. After they got food and sat down, Robin brought out a rack of clothes and showed how they could make many different looks from a few basics.  She showed different ways of using scarves. Some women came up to serve as models. There were 2 makeup artists from Guerlain who were just adorable.  They made the women glow, provided makeup and skin care tips. There was a very cool glitter spray that they used in their hair to make it sparkle. They tried on some jackets. They felt like models and they looked beautiful.  They were given totes filled with samples of fragrances and skin care products. So generous and kind. In addition to the 2 makeup artists, there were 3 staff members tending to every need and desire. They were personable and friendly and made the women feel special. We were blown away by the generosity of Saks. Below is a quote that Marla heard from Robin today :

"All I can say is Thank You, I am stillsmiling." Her reaction is the same one we all have after one of these evenings. We are the lucky ones because of how helping these brave women makes us feel.
