  • BlogHer had a BUTLER!  Provided by Pepsi, these butlers roamed around the conference providing cold beverages to us all the time.  So much so that Tara, at Feels Like Home tweeted during a session that she wished she had a drink.  Moments later, he appeared with an assortment of beverages for her to choose from!  Now that is a great way to use twitter!  The butler game me this nice beverage while I was waiting in line for THIS: TIM GUNN!  He is just as amazing as you would imagine him... more »
  • You know?  BlogHer was fun.  There were things I didn't like about it but the good more than outweighed the bad. I always regret not taking more pictures.  But I also don't regret the fact that I wasn't behind a camera all day.  Here you have some pictures and my thoughts.

The other day I went over to a friend's house for some "styling".  I needed a little help picking out some shoes and jewelry.  I wasn't able to try on the jewelry (I forgot my necklace extender so it didn't look right without it) and I wasn't really concerned about shoes for the black dress so I didn't bring the... more »

  • I am attending a few high profile events this summer including BlogHer, the Craft & Hobby Trade Show, and a Ford Ride & Drive Event for bloggers. Finding cute plus size clothes is always a struggle so I decided to look online and see what I could find. As soon as I saw the IGIGI website, I fell in love! Modest clothes for sizes 12-32. I contact their media department to see if they would be willing to sponsor my wardrobe for these events and they said yes! Not only that, but I'll ha... more »
