Academy Awards Red Carpet Fashion Google+ Hang Out On Air

 Pocket Scarf Brothers: L.A. Times staff writer on all things Menswear Adam Tschorn and Nick Verreos, Los Angeles Times Headquarters--2014 Academy Awards Red Carpet Fashion Google+ Hang Out On Air

This past Monday, after filming a LIVE TV segment for Azteca America (Spanish language TV Network) discussing my "Best Oscars Red Carpet" gown picks, I went to the Downtown L.A. offices of the L.A. Times to film a live Google+ Hang Out On Air with the wonderful Adam Tschorn, L.A. Times fashion writer.

We were also going to be joined LIVE from Paris by L.A. Times Fashion Writer chief fashion critic Booth Moore. Unfortunately, right as we were about to begin, there were connection/sound problems that prevented Booth from listening to us back in the Los Angeles newsroom.

Adam and I "made it work" and continued on to discuss the 2014 Academy Awards Red Carpet and our favorite and "could have been better" picks; he made sure--in Booth's absence--to say what her thoughts were on the couture on display at the Oscars. We also answered some great questions that came in via the Google+ Hang Out from viewers and talked about what the MEN of the Oscars Red Carpet were wearing. On that subject: a big highlight was when Adam brought out his Vivienne Westwood "Pharrell" hat:

Yes, I was happy to try on this now-infamous hat and naturally, the L.A. Times staff had to take a pic of it (OK, I admit: I told them to do so!!). Overall, I had a great time and the segment was so fun to do. To be honest, it went so quickly that both Adam and I felt that we could have talked for HOURS! In case you missed it...

NICK APPEARANCES.....Recap of Macy's Kenwood Towne Centre Cincinnati "Five Spring Essentials" Fashion Event

This past weekend I flew to Cincinnati Ohio to host another one of my fun Macy's "Five Spring Essentials" fashion show events at the Kenwood Towne Centre. I've had the pleasure of hosting two other events so far---in Indianapolis and Memphis which were a blast so I was excited to make sure this one was going to be just as good!

Nick Verreos and Melissa Scalia of TheStyleEye.com

The day of my event began with a Morning News TV Show appearance at FOX19 Cincinnati. I was picked up by the ever-so-lovely Melissa Scalia, who was my Cincinnati Girlfriend/Press Handler/Unofficial Event Photographer/Morning News TV Show On-Set Stylist...and she was even my Starbucks-fix provider. Melissa has a great website called TheStyleEye and does some TV Hosting herself, as well as all things Fashion in Cincinnati and beyond.





FOX 19 News Saturday:

I was scheduled to do a fun fashion segment--with three models--showing some of the "Five Spring Essentials" that I would be later showcasing at the fashion show event at the Macy's Kenwood Towne Center. Joining me on the segment was FOX19 news anchor, Jessica Brown :

  FOX 19 Anchor Jessica Brown and Nick Verreos--FOX19 Cincinnati

I had such a blast with Jessica. First of all, she was GORGEOUS--she looked like a "Miss USA" in a FAB mocha shawl-collared wrap dress that fit her perfectly! We had a great segment, showing all the fashions and describing why every woman should have these new Spring Fashion Trends in their closet--from Lace to Printed Pants to the Peplum. I also made sure to insert some of my fun "Nick-isms". I think we had WAAAY to much fun for a four minute segment because EVERYONE in the studio--the cameramen, the other anchor, the sound guy--they were all laughing hysterically after we finished the segment. Scroll to the end of this post for VIDEO!!



Macy's Five Spring Essentials Fashion Show Event--Kenwood Towne Centre Cincinnati:

After my Morning News Show appearance, I was off to the Kenwood Towne Centre to get ready for my "Macy's Five Spring Essentials" hosting duties...

Principal Nick Announces All Fashion Students to Head to Class--I asked the Macy's Store Execs if it was OK for me to make some announcements about the event prior to it and of course they said "Yes please!". I am used to just being handed a phone, pressing *7 (or something to that effect), but, boy was I surprised when they pointed to a big ol' microphone, the kind you would see in high school's when the Principal would make announcements. I felt like Principal McGee in the movie "Grease"!



Finally, it was time for my event:

Fashion Show--Nick Verreos describing the styles on models at the Macy's Kenwood Towne Centre "Five Spring Essentials" fashion show

Post-show Meet and Greet: After the event, I had a chance for a fun post-show "Meet-and-Greet" with all the attendees--here are some pics from that...

I was especially excited when I saw the sister of an old college friend of mine who lives in Cincinnati--Linda Castaneda (above photo). She works in the Cat Ambassador Program with Cheetahs at the world-famous Cincinnati Zoo, and she also writes these wonderful blogs on all her travels and exciting Cheetah adventures. She was so sweet, staying on the entire day after the event, keeping me company until I had to go catch my flight back home to LA.



Once again, it was a very fun--and a very successful "Five Spring Essentials" fashion event at Macy's. I noticed A LOT of the women who were at my event--shopping and BUYING some of the clothes I had just been showing at the fashion show, which I guess is a VERY GOOD THING! Thanks Cincinnati for EVERYTHING! I can't wait to return sometime soon!
