The celebration had a bar stocked with Leblon Cachaca (my new favorite beverage) and waiters passing around delicious Brazilian bites like meat croquettes from Boteco. Brazilian dancers put on a performance and elaborate Carnival costumes were spotted throughout the store. There was a even a fashion show which displayed some of the colorful, fun and undeniably Brazilian influenced clothing. Even the makeup counters were participating&#8211;Estee Lauder has a fantastic bronze and golden ray of hues channeling the tanned bodies of Brazilian beaches.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/?attachment_id=2844\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2844\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2844\" title=\"DSCN0627\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSCN0627-600x444.jpg\" alt=\"macy's brasil celebration\" width=\"600\" height=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSCN0627-600x444.jpg 600w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSCN0627-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSCN0627.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/?attachment_id=2845\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2845\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2845\" title=\"DSCN0623\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSCN0623-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSCN0623-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSCN0623-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSCN0623.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/?attachment_id=2846\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2846\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2846\" title=\"DSCN0631\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSCN0631-600x429.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSCN0631-600x429.jpg 600w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSCN0631-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSCN0631.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After the fashion show, my guests and I headed to a well-known cocktail spot and restaurant nearby to sit, chat and catch up. We re-hashed favorite items from the store and also things we&#8217;ll have to go back and purchase! We came back through Macy&#8217;s later and listened to the Paolo Gualano samba band&#8211;awesome time and lively music. A live band really changes the tone of shopping&#8211;no buyer&#8217;s remorse here! \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 I personally am in LOVE with the Marina canvas tote by Michael Kors, part of the Inspired by Brazil collection. Also, Francisco Costa designed an amazing limited edition collection inspired by a different side of Brazil&#8230; the architecture!
