Fashion, Beauty, and Lifestyle Brunch Event with Speaker Julissa Pio, Fashion and Beauty Digital Creator in Westchester County

Our signature Women Who Brunch events have always focused on an intimate dining experience with a speaker over brunch with a specific topic or focus. Where our goal is to be learning, connecting, and making new friends in the area while supporting other women.

On Sunday, May 19th, 2024, we hosted our event at Harvest on Hudson, featuring Julissa Pio, Fashion, Beauty, Lifestyle, and Nano-Fashion Influencer in Westchester County.

Let’s talk brunch first….

We caught some beautiful weather and sat outside on the patio overlooking the Hudson River. (I will note that I was told the outdoor patio is first come first serve.)

And can I please tell you how great of a deal their brunch pre-fixe menu is? It’s currently $48 and that includes a complimentary brunch beverage (mimosa, rossini, or bellini) or tea, coffee, or soft drink. A first course with salad, app, or select raw bar. A second course and you can choose from pizza, brunch favs, benedicts, sandwich or entree. Available Saturday and Sunday from 11:15am to 3:00pm.

Julissa went over a ton of fashion and beauty tips with us. Here’s some of the things she covered.

What’s in Julissa’s Makeup Bag:

10 Capsule Wardrobe Pieces to Have in Your Closet:

  • A white tee

  • Straight leg jean (Light blue for summer, darker blue for winter)

  • Tote Bag (Recommendations this Medium Black Naghedi Tote)

  • Blazer (Ann Taylor, Old Navy, Target)

  • Wool Coat (Black/Neutral )

  • Small Going Out Bag (Example: This Anthropologie Bag)

  • Sneakers (Other than your running/fitness sneakers - For example Hoka, New Balance, Adidas Samba)

  • Heels (Block Heel - Dolce Vita, Sam Elderman, ALDI)

  • Cashmere Sweaters

  • Trousers

Extras:

  • Nice Black Tank Top

  • Ponte Leggings

  • Add Jewelry/Smaller Jewelry Pieces

The Sandwich Method:

Match the top and bottom pieces of their outfit and put a statement garment in the middle of it. This means that the shirt and shoes will match, while the pants can be used to add a different dynamic to the outfit.

2024 Fashion Trends:

  • Mesh Ballet Flats

  • Western Theme (Canadian Tuxedo, Studded Belts)

  • Rosette Flower Trend

  • Colors: Metallic, Powder Blue & Butter Yellow (Gold is Classic though)

The Three Word Method to Mastering Your Personal Style:

Julissa had walked us through a three word method to finding your personal style based on the style you currently have or the style you aspire to be, as a way to help guide you when shopping and finding wardrobe pieces.

This is based on a concept from The Every Girl. If you would like to know more and find your own style, here’s a link to the blog post.

Organization Reminders:

Pair Back:

Get rid of things you haven’t worn in a while or don’t fit anymore.

Rotate Closet:

Organize your dresser, closet, vanity - By season and by color.
