Last Friday night I went to the ModCloth and The Swapaholics Blogger Party! I looked totally out of place in head-to-toe black. Oops. Should have at least worn a circle skirt. It was tons of fun though and I met lots of bloggers!
My mildly paparazzi-ish tendencies caught this awesome print…
… and leopard and hot pink belts!
These last three photos courtesy of the event photographer. Makes me wish I had an external flash! View more on The Swapaholics’ Facebook page.
I swapped two items and picked up one compliments of ModCloth. I also basically pulled a dress off the ModCloth rack, handed it to Nnenna, and said “this is for you” (she ended up leaving with it).
Just before we left for BNO I introduced myself to Tieka with the totally original “I love your blog!”. She’s just as genuine in person as she is on Selective Potential.
Tomorrow will be Blogger’s Night Out! Hope you guys aren’t bored of hearing about fashion week events yet!
The Strand and The Cooper
Thanks Nnenna for taking my pictures! It was a dark and stormy night, so unfortunately hardly any of my photos from StrandedBlogger came out. All the photos of Nnenna and me were a total fail. I did get one good one of Katy but that’s basically it, even my outfit photos are so dark and blurry. I was way too busy chatting with bloggers to pay attention to my camera anyway!
Some of the bloggers I met are A La Mode et Plus, Feed My Sole, Oh to be a Muse, One Woman’s Style Evolution, Radiant Brown Beauty, and The Well-Appointed Catwalk.
The Top of the Strand is actually very small and intimate for a rooftop bar. The only odd thing is that if you open a tab at the bar they automatically add 18% gratuity. We had a great time, though, and I hope to meet up with these bloggers again soon!
Presents from StrandedBlogger
Quick post before I’m out and about for the day! Last night I went to StrandedBlogger, a post-conference meetup organized by Modly Chic. It was awesome meeting Katy in person for the first time! And because Katy is totally the best, she even got us gift bags.
Socks from We Love Colors!
MicaGem donates a mosquito net to a child in need for every bottle of fragrance sold.
A free drink voucher for the Top of the Strand, which has really a nice view uptown.
It was fun meeting people face-to-face (and not on Skype)! I also met Star-Crossed Smile in person for the first time for a pre-meetup meetup and we shared a cab uptown. We were lucky to get one, it can definitely be next to impossible in the rain.
Tweet me (@alexshook) if you’re going to FNO tonight! My only definite stop is DKNY and it’s definitely going to be crazy, but I hope to cross paths with people I met last night!
