Back in April, myself and a handful of bloggers were invited to attend Cabi’s first-ever #CabiBloggerDay held at their home offices in Southern CA. We kicked off our morning with a pink champagne toast and then had the most delicious welcome breakfast with Cabi’s CEO Lynne Coté & the Cabi executive team. It was so inspiring to hear each of the women’s unique stories/situations of how/why they decided to become Cabi stylists. Then we were off to tour the shipping warehouse and meet with the Cabi design team. The whole day was truly a blast but I think meeting Kat Woodside (Chief Design Officer) and Becky Jantzen (Fashion Director) was a highlight for me. You could absolutely tell that these women are doing what they love to do. I seriously wanted to put Becky in my back pocket and steal her to be my personal stylist! I am so envious of her effortless ability to make even the most basic pieces look super chic and stylish! Oh, and we also got a sneak peek of the Fall 2016 Collection which btw, you guys are going to LOVE. Next up was an inside look at the making of the Notion and Look Book with Cabi’s Executive Creative Director, Daniele Trussardi. The Notion and Look Books are great marketing pieces that Cabi stylists can give to their clients so they are inspired with fresh new ways to style their new Cabi pieces. Then we got to attend a mock Cabi fashion experience hosted by none other than one of Cabi’s co-founders, Kim Carpenter. We got to sip wine and see & shop the clothes just as you would if you attended a real show. I mean, what better way to shop than in the comfort of your own home with friends!?! And did I mention wine? Ha! And last but not least, we were introduced to the Heart of Cabi Foundation which encourages and empowers women in need. From donating clothing to empowering women entrepreneurs in third world countries to work their way out of poverty, Cabi is passionate about investing in women across the globe.

At the end of the day, we got to raid the Cabi sample racks and were treated to mini-makeovers and a professional photoshoot wearing our favorite Cabi outfit of choice! Don’t forget to watch the short video highlighting the day at the end of this post!

Outfit Details: Cabi Fresco Dress, Cabi Cobblestone Cardigan, Elizabeth Stone Crescent Necklace (I didn’t get the brand of the belt/shoes as I borrowed them from the Cabi styling closet!)
