MARISA MAGNATTA GETS CAUGHT IN SWAROVSKI

MARISA MAGNATTA GETS CAUGHT IN SWAROVSKI

“See Who Got Caught in Swarovski” is a series of posts sponsored by Swarovski. Find out more about Swarovski at getcaughtphilly.com.
I popped into WMMR and caught “The Steve & Preston Show” morning show producer, Marisa Magnatta, getting ready for the “Totally Office Calendar 2014” release party by adding some sparkle from Swarovski.
Marisa was in the studio for a bit before heading out to meet the rest of “The Steve & Preston Show” crew that night at Xfinity Live. She brought some serious va-va-vroom to the producer’s room in these Swarovski Dark Fit Earrings and Smoothly Crossover Pendant.
Check out Marisa glamming it up with the studio mics.
I think my favorite Swarovski look is this fierce rocker-chic one. What do you think?
Thanks for “Getting Caught In Your Swarovski,” Marisa.

KACIE McDONNELL – How Did They Meet?, Hunger Games, Brian Sims Movember, Theo James, Patty Jackson, Mike Lahoud & Other Hot Shots

Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray will have surgery to repair his ACL [today]. Please keep him in your thoughts & prayers tweeted his girlfriend, Fox 29’s Kacie McDonnell. – Recently when I was in the Fox 29 studios to do my celeb segment, I asked Kacie how she met Aaron. Can you believe Twitter. It’s true, he began following her, and they would tweet back and forth. She found him funny, and interesting. That lead to phone calls and then he flew up here to meet her. So long Match.com, hello Twitter.

 Sometimes time gets away from me, sometimes my photos are rejected by my other outlets for whatever reason, sometimes I have so many events to post that photos get left behind, important photos like the ones on this page. A few weeks back the Hunger Games gang came to the Cherry Hill Mall.  Sam Claflin at the “Hunger Games: Catching Fire” mall tour at Cherry Hill Mall in New Jersey on Nov. 3.

 Sam Claflin, Jena Malone, Jeffrey Wright Meta Golding and Bruno Gunn
attend the ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ mall tour at Cherry Hill
Mall on November 3, 2013 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
They did make it on Perez Hilton, so I wasn’t too worried about getting invited back to the next event as they were “placed.”

I met my reader Nurse 8 there. Look at the crowds lined up even on the 2nd floor.
 Happy birthday to legendary DJ/Personality WDAS’ Patty Jackson here with son Robert and BFF Joyce Evans, Fox 29 anchor
 Philadelphia Union Soccer Player, Mike Lahoud, charity “Bowling with Mike and Friends.”

Schools For Salone is a non-profit organization that helps rebuild
schools in a previously war-torn Sierra Leone, which has one of the
worst literacy rates in the entire continent of Africa and the world.
Not only does this organization rebuild schools but the schools become
self-sufficient and fully functions environments after their inception.
In addition to building schools, they help rebuild wells to supply clean
water to surrounding villages that feed into the schools.
 Maria Papadakis was on hand to help out.

 Wait you didn’t get your PIE -No Problem, they have cash & carry sites around town & in NJ …

 I forgot to post this photo yesterday. Why is his arm missing?
 Last week I attended a luncheon to celebrate the new partnership with 95.7 Ben FM and WMCM’s Dawn Stensland at Harvest restaurant in University City.

 Check out my Philly Mag column to see who my smoochers are.

 Richard Gere stopped by the Barnes Museum a few weeks ago. On Friday Franny wrapped up filming. Look for a special screening to occur, right here in Philly, when the movie opens next year. Maybe then you’ll get a chance to see Theo James. (Photo: Barnes Museum)
 Filming on JFK Bridge 2 weeks ago
at about 1AM when it was 35F out. Brrrr.
Congratulations to Carol Tamburino, here at Del Frisco’s, the League Of Women Voters Civic Leadership
Reception honored her for as being a 21st century Renaissance woman defining what it means to be a true Philadelphian through her business associations, charitable services and
civic involvement.

Philly Fashion Bloggers Get Caught with Swarovski at Le Méridien Philadelphia

“See Who Got Caught in Swarovski” is a series of
posts sponsored by Swarovski. Find out more
about Swarovski at getcaughtphilly.com.

Talk about chic dining, I joined some of Philadelphia’s most
fashionable bloggers for dinner with Swarovski in the private dining room at Le
Méridien
Philadelphia’s Amuse brasserie. Even the menus and place cards were
Swarovski-adorned, like this one I photographed with their New York bangles. 

I met Kerrie McLellan, Director of Marketing, Swarovski. As you can
see, she sparkles just like the brand, as did Daneen Bair (pictured here), the
blogger behind Spoiled Pretty.

Also in attendance were
Jessie Holeva from Trend Hungry and Natalia Galvis
from Fashion of Philly.  
 As well as Jade Barnes from
Style Wallflower, who mentioned that her mother is also a big Swarovski fan.
The Swarovski team shared
more about the Get Caught Philadelphia campaign, which you’ve probably seen all
around Philadelphia and South Jersey.  
And made a big announcement.
The jewelry company has partnered with Le Méridien Philadelphia and created “The Getaway,”
an exclusive high-end cocktail served in a custom-crystalized Swarovski martini
glass with a $1000 price tag benefiting the Philadelphia charity of the
imbiber’s choice.  

The
fashionable pair that “get caught” enjoying this libation will leave with a set
of these glasses and two pieces of sparkling Swarovski jewelry (including a
handsome pair of men’s cufflinks). Proceeds from the cocktail will be donated
to the Philadelphia charity of their choice. 
 

The
bloggers tasted “The Getaway” and some other new cocktails from Le Meridien’s
new “Sparkling” menu.  
 After
dinner, there was one last reveal – the attendees all received individual gift
bags with Swarovski pieces to #GetCaughtPHL in.  

Natalia
Galvas Got Caught in the iconic Swarovski Nirvana ring. 

As
did the always stunning Nena Boling of Beauty and Britches.
 The
effervescent Jessie Holeva added more sparkle to her sparkle with the Slake
bracelet. 

 It
was a lovely evening and I am particularly excited about the charitable
component to the $1000 cocktail. It’s a sparkling way to give to a local
charity before the year ends.  Read more about the $1000 cocktail in Michael Klein’s column here.

Front Row (L-R): Risa of Really Risa and Daneen of Spoiled Pretty
Back Row (L-R): Nena of Beauty & Britches, Jacqueline of Burgundy Whispers, Natalia of Fashion of Philly, Melissa of Swarovski, Jade of Style wallflower, Jessie of Trend Hungry, Jimmy of Philly Street Style, and Kerrie and Terri of Swarovski.

See those posts near the Fountain on the Art Museum Steps, they should put a set near the top of the steps

See those posts near the fountain on the Art Museum Steps, they should put a set near the top of the steps to prevent cars from slipping down the steps, as well as the future dare devils who want to travel down the steps. They’re good to sit on too.   This was the car used in the new movie Franny with Richard Gere. ALSO Check out @MariaRPapadakis & her beau @ChrisKonopka at the 2013 Marian Anderson Awards last nite http://www.phillymag.com/the-scene/2013/11/20/2013-marian-anderson-award-given-berry-gordy-kimmel-center/#.UozznUluZ7M.twitter

DR J & DORYS ERVING’S GALA and THE PHILADELPHIA ZOO GALA (you have to see the room decorations)

Monday was a banner day for HughE Dillon LLC. First I was on B101 chatting about Kim & Kanye, then I made an appearance on Fox 29’s Good Day Philadelphia with Mike Jerrick and Shenielle Jones. I had 4 different columns in Philly.com, PhillyMag, PhillyChitChat.com and Liberty City Press. So crazy, and so little sleep Sunday night. But it was definitely a career highlight day for me. Thanks.

Inaugural Dorys Erving Fit Youth (DEFY – get it?) Foundation Celebration

 Nicole Cashman with sponsor of the evening – Double Cross Vodka. Check out the rest of the photos of the event on Philly.com and see what Mrs Erving wore to the Double Cross Vodka Afterparty, sexy.
 Big Rube & The Phanatic
OMG this room is gourgeous. Pencora Events did the room, and Brian Toner of Eventions did the lighting & AV. Check out my Philly Mag Column HERE for the rest of the story.

Maria Papadakis Gets Caught with Swarovski at the Cherry Hill Mall

Maria Papadakis Gets
Caught with Swarovski at the Cherry Hill Mall
 “See Who Got Caught in Swarovski” is a series of
posts sponsored by Swarovski. Find out more
about Swarovski at getcaughtphilly.com.
You never know who you may catch at a Swarovski boutique. This week
I caught Comcast SportsNet and Philly.com correspondent, Maria Papadakis,
popping into the Swarovski store at the Cherry Hill Mall.
Maria lit up the store with these Fit Crystal Golden Shadow
earrings.
And modeled the Swarovski by
Shourouk Bangle.

And here she is wearing Swarovski by Shourouk
Kaki Pendant. Really loving how you are adding sparkle to your Philly Flyers
jersey! You know how to make everyday extraordinary, Maria!

In fact, while she certainly
looked fab on the way in to the boutique, she absolutely dazzled as she exited.
