Ok ignore the ratchetness of this post’s title and stay with me here. Guys! I’m going to be walking in a fashion show! The lovely folks at BlogHer have invited me to take my talents to the runway in the form of a sponsored fashion show on this Saturday, August 4th. They are featuring a group of their favorite bloggers and I was chosen. I am ECSTATIC!
Alright before I hyperventilate let me back up for a sec. Before finding out that I would be walking in their Styled & MC’ed show, they actually invited me to speak on an amazing panel for the BlogHer 8th Annual Conference, with moderator Kathryn Finney of The Budget Fashionista. The panel is called Three-dimensional Beauty on a Two-dimensional Screen: Style and Design Bloggers Share Trade Secrets. The panel will be all about how bloggers use words & images to convey lifestyle. If you’re an up-and-coming blogger, or even an old head, residing in NYC or close by, you should definitely plan on being there!
So back to the fashion show – I’m beyond excited. I have a fitting this Wednesday and then the actual show is on Saturday. A bit nervous that I might end up as “fashion roadkill” a la Carrie Bradshaw, but I can’t wait to share the experience with you guys. And if you’re in NYC you should totally stop by and cheer me on! I’ll keep you guys posted on the venue & time details.
