BLOGGERS NIGHT OUT NYC

 

Last Friday was Bloggers Night Out in New York City at the Caulfield. I had the honor of enjoying the night with good (new) friends. I had a blast reuniting with a friend in the city for happy hour before, and she joined me for BNO. I met Alex about two summers ago (trying to remember if that's right) at my favorite coffee place right here in Frederick, MD. She was having a conversation with her mom, and I couldn't help but overhear that they were talking all about fashion. Being the creeper I am, I interrupted them and struck up a conversation. We have stayed in touch ever since, and I was so happy when I finally saw her again. This time in NYC! Check out her blog, City Me Pretty. We also met up with Rebekka and Alex (yes, another Alex) from She Is Red. 

Also.. thanks for the awesome swag bag, BNO! There were lots of goodies inside like a $25 gift card to both Marshalls and Shopbop. Pretty sure those will be gone within the next week.

P.S. - Happy Valentine's Day! xo

REFINERY 29 X NYFW

 

I had the awesome opportunity to attend the Refinery 29 exclusive NYFW kickoff party last Thursday and mingle with some of fashion's best. Unfortunately, my camera did not do me well with getting good photos for you all. So thank you, Belvedere! Belvedere Vodka was the proud sponsor. They came up with three creative drinks for Refinery: The East Side Cocktail, Strawberry Pepper Fix, and Blackberry Collins. I tried both the Strawberry Pepper Fix and the Blackberry Collins. They were delicious! Solange Knowles was spinning discs as the DJ, and I was proud to be surrounded by many fashionable people. Guests in order of photographs above include: Kristian Laliberte (Refinery's Senior Editor), Natalie Obradovitch, Hannah Bronfman, Elettra Wiedmann, and Solange Knowles.

You can also see my article about the event over on Examiner here.

IFB CONFERENCE

 

 

Here is a look into my day spent at the IFB Con at Milk Studios that was this past Wedneday. There was so much going on aside from the panels we heard throughout the day. J Brand's new ready-to-wear line was being featured, Design within Reach had a photo booth, Lyst had a booth set up, and there were several other companies partnering with IFB for this amazing event. I only photographed one of the panels, which included P.S.- I MADE THIS and Style Scrapbook. Others that I loved hearing from were Cupcakes and Cashmere, DKNY PR girl, and I Spy DIY. It was a great day, and I was able to meet a lot of new bloggers to add to my blog roll.

The lovely blogger in the white dress is Leney from A Girl Named Leney. It was cool to hear that she is from Richmond- one place I have been dying to go to lately. Absolutely my new blog crush!

I also met Alexandra from She Is Red and even ran into a friend, Abigal from James1542. The last photo is courtesy of Rebekka's Instagram. We dropped by the after party at Tribeca Grand with Alexandra. Oh, and did I mention we got great swag bags? Although, someone stole two things out of mine. So disappointed!

Other blogger mentions: the fashion enthusiast, Shanelé, PARKER ETC, Ripped Nylon

This post is full of links so make sure to take time to check out all of these great bloggers!
