Many have heard of, seen and most likely shopped at HSN, which is just a hop and a skip away from me. Alright not quite, it's a drive across the Howard Franklin Bridge from Tampa, Fla. to St. Petersburg about 25 minutes or so away. Having them in our backyard, needless to say, I finally had the opportunity and honor of visiting the 60 or so acre property with other fellow bloggers. What a perfect time - for fall fashion.
The visit started with a tour lead by Cameron Morris of a few of the different studios where each segment takes place from fashion, health and beauty, culinary...
The last stop was at the Fashion Closet and Beauty Bar where we were treated to drinks and treats. A few of HSN's stylists hung out and even a surprise visit of fashion bloggers and handbag designers Kelly Cook and Tina Craig, Snob Essentials. Also to mention, their merchandise is sold on HSN. At the Fashion Closet we were able to try on firsthand some of the fall fashion pieces.

As if the fun was just starting, we are all back together at the Beauty Bar, networking and of course eating when we are also presented with a huge goodie bag full of products actually sold on HSN and the rack holding our cardigans was brought out (already mentioned). It felt like Christmas in August!
The evening couldn't end just like that, well it didn't for sure! We were invited to shop at HSN's employee store as VIP shoppers. It was 75% off clothing and shoes, shop until we dropped indeed.
In my writing/blogging ventures I have been behind the scenes of award shows and red carpet events, even worked a few studio cameras but this was a surreal and unforgettable experience. From the drive, sharing our fashion passion with local bloggers, meeting all the people behind HSN from employees to the executives and the president too. Looking forward to future HSN encounters.
Thank you HSN for having us and a big shout out to fellow blogger Farrah Estrella in making the connection. Oh and thank you for the goodies too, I can't wait to show them off!

Breve resumen en español:

Pasamos una tarde súper chévere en HSN que seguramente
han visto por la televisión, han oído o hasta han comprado algo de HSN. Estuve
la dicho junto a otras 'bloggers' de la Bahía de Tampa en visitar el local en
St. Petersburg, Fla. en donde nos educaron y nos enseñaron los diferentes
escenarios de donde transmiten para sus compradores.

Sumamente interesante y divertido estuvo la excursión:
conocer los ejecutivos, los estilistas, los diseñadores, y hasta presenciar en
vivo la diseñadora Giuliana Rancic con sus modas G by Giuliana para este otoño. Y de que mejor manera terminar la visita
con inesperados obsequios de mercancía vendida en HSN y hasta nos mimaron en ir de compras
en su tienda exclusivamente para sus empleados.
Vean las fotos de como la pasamos en HSN y no se olviden
de ver el programa o ver sus productos a la venta por www.HSN.com.
