as many of my fellow blogger buds start putting up posts about monday’s independent fashion bloggers conference, i thought i’d put in my two cents: it was so great. it seemed like any flaws from last year were improved upon into an event of three panels with solid speakers, a beautiful and open venue, organized volunteers and a top-notch cocktail party (seriously, can i get those mini pulled pork biscuits delivered? what? i have priorities.).
i hung out with old friends (stephanie, bianca, suz, jessica, mariel, camill) and made some new ones (amy of punkystyle, jazzimcg, julia of modelizing) and, though i was coming down with a cold, had an amazing time. many kudos are due to jennine of the coveted for putting everything together, finding the most articulate speakers, giving bianca a new mentor, having an open bar, allowing me to stalk the streetpeeper and all things in between. couturious had set up computers around the room and explained its new styling service that melds the creative talent of users with the svelte bodies of models and attendees were given a swag bag with thanks to the following sponsors: g-star raw, we love colors, affordable scarves, revlon, jean straps, degree and covetshop.
it is an honor to be a part of such an encouraging community. i may not have won a windows 7 netbook, but i know that i am not alone in saying that i can’t wait until next year. more pictures will be posted as i find them.
It was lots of awesome. That is my input. Also Shubhankar Ray… you’re my hero.
Also, Always Be Dancing.
