DESIGN DARLING BLOGGER BRUNCH

Yesterday I hosted twenty of my very favorite bloggers for a fashion week escape on the rooftop of the Gramercy Park Hotel. This was really the first event I've ever planned and hosted and I'm so excited that it went off without a hitch! The blogger brunch was a wonderful excuse to don a pretty dress, gather friends from all over the country, and toast to the upcoming second anniversary of my boutique. Peach bellinis, pink peonies, and the most awesome, inspiring, and stylish bunch of young women... Really, what more could a girl want? Gratitude doesn't begin to cover it. Note to self: must do this again soon.

Outfit details:

Opening Ceremony dress (I used Rent The Runway!)  //  Loren Hope earrings  //  Alice & Olivia heels

Table details:

Tortoiseshell glasses  //  Striped straws

Bloggers you need to know about!

Amy Stone  //  A Piece of Toast  //  Bows & Sequins

College Prepster  //  Corals & Cognacs  //  Dallas Wardrobe

Gal Meets Glam  //  House of Harper  //  Look Linger Love

M.A.S. Fashion  //  Matchbook Magazine  //  Stripes & Sequins

HANDBAG CRUSH: MELI MELO

{Colour pop wallet}

{Electric ID case}

{Cappuccino bag}

{Leonie key fob}

{Thela tan tote}

Do you remember this post on Olivia Palermo's super chic Meli Melo handbag? Well I just popped over to their website on a whim and couldn't get enough of their other leather goods. Olivia's bag is definitely still at the top of my wishlist but really, there were too many cute new goodies not to share. Are you kidding with with that lion key fob? Maybe it's the Leo in me but I'm in looove.
