Hello, Friday! I am so ready for some days off and down time. Oh wait, I’ve got the {One Room Challenge} to complete!!! I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little nervous about finishing this weekend…especially since I’m still waiting on some deliveries! But either way, I’ve already got a pretty fabulous new room. So there’s that.
Last weekend I was able to crash a blogger conference that happened to be in my own backyard. It’s always fun to get together with other people that love blogging as much as I do…and this was a full weekend of it! Not to mention, many of the girls have become some of my closest friends over the years, so it was basically a big, stylish, girls weekend, full of geeky blog talk. And lots of wine.
I had a lot of fun creating outfits for all the events, and thought I’d share them with you. Many are perfect for the upcoming wedding and shower season, along with date nights and parties. (See past Packing Tips posts here.)



Since I had the luxury of driving, I didn’t need to follow my tips for packing light, and threw in extra outfit and shoe options. I was especially glad for the shoes so I could choose comfier ones when my feet gave out!
These pics were at the end of a late, rain-soaked night…but it didn’t dampen my affinity for my new skirt. Have you ever shopped SheInside? This was my first time…and while it took almost three weeks for my order to arrive, I was pretty darn impressed considering the prices.



Clearly this dress is a favorite of mine, you’ve seen me wear it here and here…no matter the occasion, it never lets me down. The arm holes are a bit low on me (me=no boobs), so I wear a colorful bandeau, or a lacy bralette.



It was such a blast to get away with such creative, talented and fun ladies, and share a little bit of my city with them.
Oh, and my very favorite cognac bag with the zippers (seen here) is finally back in stock! It’s one of my most-asked about items…so if you’ve been waiting, now’s your chance!
