Yay, I’m back! I had such an amazing time at the Texas Style Council and I can't wait to share all my favourite re-caps with you guys. For my first night out, I attended the annual swap, which was hosted by swap.com & Lulu's. I absolutely loved visiting the Lulu's lounge - each blogger was lucky enough to receive a complimentary item, and I nabbed the cutest BB Dakota dress. Score!
As for the outfit? It was totally unplanned & very last minute. It was cold and rainy when I arrived in Austin, so all of my pre-styled outfits kind of went out the window. I chose something a little bit more laid back & comfy as I spent a fair bit of my day site seeing, but still chic for the party. I had a lot of people/press ask to take pictures of my look, which was a nice vote of confidence.
I was thrilled to finally meet so many of the ladies that I have connected with this past year, some of whom are pictured here: Kyla, Tieka and Jen. It's such a surreal experience because you feel like you know everyone super well, but yet you've never met face to face. Everyone was as sweet & kind as they are on their blogs and amazingly stylish. I felt so welcome, plus the venue was perfectly intimate, the ideal spot for kicking back & chatting!

Such gorgeous photos! It was so awesome meeting you honey - you are even sweeter in person :) Wish we didn't live so far away!
ReplyDeleteHugs!! xoxo
Welcome home, Veronika! From what I've seen so far, it looks like Austin was an amazing experience - how fun to see you standing next to Tieka in person :) I can't wait to hear much, much more about your trip. In the meantime, though, I must say that your unplanned outfit came together beautifully (although I would never expect less from my stylish friend.) That sweet, feminine dress paired with your leather jacket and bowler hat is the perfect transition season outfit! It obviously served you well :)
ReplyDeleteHope to see you very soon!
xox,

ReplyDeleteBut anyway - you might like my blog, it's in Czech, so you are probably the only Canadian who might understand :D
You are beautiful, by the way ...so, good luck... :)
