day 2:     Taking a cue from all the stylist bloggers at the Swap party the night before, I decided to resist the urge and go with the trend with a bold statement necklace. This gold piece was a cheap find at Forever 21 so long ago, but I love that looks unique and handcrafted. Day 2 of the conference started out with Speed Mentoring breakfast where we were able to have one on one chats with bloggers and get some feedback on the inner workings of running a successful blog. It’s been almost two years since I started this blog and there’s so much more possibilities that I can do with it. I’m excited about the future for sure. The rest of the day was spent doing what I love most, shopping! It’s always a treat to have time to shop down on South Congress in Austin, and a pit stop by the Madewell store was the perfect end to a long morning.

Linda, from little tin soldier, is sporting one of my favorite pieces at the conference.

… an early birthday present for the sis, a handmade clutch from purse & clutch.  Hand stitched from India through fair trade and the chevron design is so classic.
