Simply Stylist NY 2014 Recap
Simply Stylist NY was a huge success! The most stylish fashion and beauty lovers came together for an all-day Fashion and Beauty Conference at The Park Central Hotel along side our media partner Marie Claire.
The day kicked off with a VIP networking brunch at the Park Restaurant sponsored by derma e who provided fabulous gifts for everyone – insert girly squeals here!
