Rent the Runway Blogger Meet Up

I wanted to share a few photos from last night's fun blogger meet up at the W hotel! What a gorgeous evening it was to hang out on the patio, sip a little champagne, chat with fellow Southern Blog Society members, and look at some amazing designer gowns. I met so many sweet blogger ladies and I just wanted to be sure you are all following their awesome blogs! Believe me, if you're not you are missing out! I've linked to all of them below so definitely click those links!
So, you all have heard of Rent the Runway right? They were the ones who hosted the event last night. In case you're out of the loop, Rent the Runway is an awesome website where you can rent designer gowns and accessories at a fraction of the cost! What a brilliant idea right? I can't wait to rent a dress for my next fancy event!
 
I finally met Tiffany of Tiffany Style in person last night and she was just a doll. Isn't her outfit cute?

I just had to get a close up of Tiffany's shoes. They are from Zara and apparently really comfortable! Miiight just have to get me a pair since Tiffany talked them up so much! ;)
 
The adorable Catherine of Asian Cajuns and Jewel of Eat Drink Shop Love checking out some dresses. I had met these girls just once before, but it felt like we were old friends. What can I say? It's easy to bond over a little fashion.

Catherine was kind enough to let me pet her Phillip Lim bag. So jealous of it! Isn't it great?


 Of course, what is a blogger event without cupcakes?!
 
Super pumped about the contents of this swag bag.
  
 All this jewelry is also available to rent through Rent the Runway. They totally think of everything. (even Spanks!)
 
Too bad I didn't get a great shot of Laura of Miss Beanie's cute outfit (pictured left), but it was so nice to meet her!  She just kept me laughing all night.
I'm off to celebrate Mother's Day with a huge family pool day tomorrow. Then, as always, I've got a little bit of sewing to do for the shop! Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

Festival Style

Spring is the season of festivals, that's for sure! I'm loving all the inadvertent fads that are spawning from these fun outdoor concert events! Today's look was inspired by that laid-back and casual vibe. The key to the laid-back festival look is pulling everything together with accessories so people know you meant to look this way. These pants are boarder-line pajamas so I pulled it together by adding a hat, wedge heels, and my Oscar de la Renta bag. I mean, when you throw Oscar in the mix you could walk out the door in a towel and still look pulled together.

DIY: T-shirt turban headband

This DIY project was super easy, super cheap, and super cute. (Ok, it was just all around super.) Since I used a jersey T, I didn't worry about finishing the raw edges. They won't unravel with a knit. I had been drooling over the turban trend since I saw Emily wearing one the other day. Hers was from Anthropologie for about $30. I decided to try and make my own. Total cost: $0!! It was so fun that I now have no more T-shirts to sleep in or work out it. I do however have a lot of cute headbands!
