BLUSHING

Currently sitting in a local coffee shop, drinking a mocha bianca and answering emails whilst writing this post. Man do I feel a little bit like Carrie Bradshaw right now, can I please just have her apartment,  ability to run gracefully in heels, and closet contents, PLEASE? Meh, a girl can dream. 

Last week was the BAREing It All: Digital Fashion and Lifestyle Publication speaker panel featuring Refinery 29 SF's Katie Hintz-Zambrano and FabSugar's Britt Stephens and Danny Feekes. I personally loved it but I may be a bit biased seeing as I am a self-proclaimed internet junkie. Oh, and I helped plan the event. The discussion definitely helped me see how hard these folks work, play, and combine work and play into a whole new lifestyle that encompasses it all. I had the pleasure of meeting all of the speakers as well as a few more fabulously dressed attendees, let me just say my smoozing skills are getting better and better (if only I could get rid of my awkwardness completely...). Annabel from Blushing Ambition was among the attendees but I was far too intimidated to talk to her, so I tweeted her from afar. Annabel makes 3, 3 bloggers I wish I had the guts to meet when I had the chance to do so, Liz and Lulu are the other 2. One day. 

If you're curious and wish you had attended the speaker panel, I'm here to make your day! The whole entire discussion was recorded and posted on the internet (thank god for technology!) and you can watch it HERE!

You know it's time to do laundry when almost your whole outfit is not out of your own closet. 2 weeks and counting, I'm looking forward to going home tomorrow and doing a ton of laundry for free! Can you feel that I'm blushing? My outfit is anyways with an array of pinks, nudes and blush tones. With my collar craze still going strong, pairing a collared shirt under a knitted sweater is irresistible to me. Be prepared for all kinds of sweater+collar combo this fall. My necklace broke at a party over summer and I have yet to fix it but, as of now, I am kind of digging the little medallion look rather than the huge chandelier effect it usually has. This form of the necklace goes a lot better with my minimal feel aka lazy.
