Happy Monday lovelies! We’re back with another edition of Monday Mingle, co-hosted with us by Momtrends and Glamamom! My post is a little late today as I’m still recovering from my whirlwind weekend. BonBon Rose Girls and White Book Agency put on the Blogger Brilliance conference this past Saturday and WOW was it amazing! So many fabulous bloggers came out for a fun-filled day of learning!
I’ll be posting my own recap of the conference later in the week, but in the meantime you must check out the recaps from two of our lovely panelists, Vahni of Grit and Glamour and Kristina of Pretty Shiny Sparkly!
One of the events on our agenda was the Tim Gunn fashion show at International Plaza. Tim was, of course, beyond wonderful to listen to and his team put together some killer looks courtesy of Kate Spade, Juicy Couture and Lucky Brand. Here’s a peek at some of them! And if you want to see a little something I rocked this weekend, check out Champagne Saturday!
I just love this look! Who’s brave enough to rock OTK boots with shorts?!?
Riding boots, skinnes and a floaty blouse…One of my fave fall go-to ensembles.
Tim made sure to tell us that he would have added tights to this look. I wholeheartedly agree! Thank goodness for tights…They make super short hemlines a possibility for this girl!
Here is our beauty editor and some of our, oh so wonderful, panelists, Kristina from Pretty Shiny Sparkly, Holly from BlogFrog and Vahni from Grit and Glamour enjoying the show.
And finally…We were lucky enough to get our photo taken with the silver fox himself!
Make sure you head over to Glamamom to link up your own style/fashion related post!

How awesome you got to meet him!!! And I do love the skinnies with the boots. Tried and true- especially in rainy weather.

@GRIT & GLAMOUR, Thanks lady! Hopefully you caught this post post-edit…Wordpress was giving me all kinds of trouble this morning and it published before I wanted it to with typos galore. Le sigh. : )
[Reply]
Was just realizing I need skinnies/leggings for the cooler seasons… what to wear with a VERY dark denim tunic?
[Reply]
WOW – looks amazing!!! I am seeing the tweets and reading other blog posts – looks like you pulled things off without a hitch! Congrats, girl!
[Reply]
Love Tim Gunn!!! great looks. Loving the otk boots. Not sure on the sures, think I’m a little too old for that.

This was such a fun weekend. I’m only now going through my photos for my post today. So glad you have the group shot of everyone with Tim- I was hoping it didn’t just vanish after we took it. Thanks again for putting on this amazing conference and for talking with us afterward. Everyone was so nice and down to earth- hopefully we can get together again before next year!
[Reply]
I am so jealous you have a photo with Tim Gunn. AH I just love him!
[Reply]
Awwww— it looks like it was a great experience!
[Reply]
Over the knee boots and shorts — humm, I think I’d need longer legs to pull off that one!
but it does look awesome on the model!
[Reply]
Great looks and I would of added tights too to that one look
[Reply]
I’m so jealous! This looks like such an amazing event….and I just gotta throw in a thank god for Tim Gunn, I love him!

Love it! Never met Tim in person. Am green with envy (good thing it is one of my fave colors).

Oh, Tim…sigh. He’s my hero. I would die if I got to see him in person. DIE.

Over the knee boots and shorts… I wonder if I can make it work. Probably not, but I’ll definitely have fun trying!

Didn’t I tell you about it??? I’m so sorry if I didn’t. Things have been nuts! We’re mulling over having another one in the spring though! : )
[Reply]
Thank so much for hosting a fabulous event. It gave us an opportunity to learn, meet fellow bloggers in person and have fun while doing it. Looking forward to another. LOL @ picture with Tim Gunn all you can see is my eyes, but it’s fine because I got to put my arm around him, which was one of the many highlights of that day.
