Just before Christmas, the Raleigh Blog Society met at Anthropologie Durham for a blogger brunch. The store’s personal stylist, Morgan, and I worked for months on organizing this event for these lovely ladies. We wanted it to be an experience the bloggers could leave and feel it was something to write home about ;). The event came together so nicely and it truly was a success (as you can see in the photos below).

A huge thank you to Vent Salon for showing holiday hair tutorials. They even even shocked us with a few simple, everyday tips. I mean, who knew that holding a curling iron or placing a bobby pin a certain way could be a game changer?! Also, a big thanks my favorite Durham coffee shop, Bean Traders. They provided an incredible spread for the brunch including their locally roasted coffee.

Another special thanks to the amazing bloggers who attended this event (including the bloggers who I haven’t met in person but feel like I already know from your awesome support). Thank you also to all of my readers, followers, and anyone who has stumbled upon my crazy thoughts on clothes. You all have NO idea how much your support means to me. If someone told me at the beginning of 2015 I would be writing a blog about all things I love, I would have laughed…hard. I am still trying to figure out so much in this new-found life, but it’s the cheerleaders like you who encourage me to continue to grow into my best self.

Sorry, I had to get a little sappy there :). I hope you enjoy the details of this blogger event as much as we did!

Morgan put together a few Anthropologie gift sets. This box was for the woman who loves to bake. I was obsessed with these gold & pastel measuring cups.

The first hair tutorial by Vent Salon. So cute!

Once the event was over we had to shop… and of course, take shopping selfies 🙂
