You already saw what I wore, now get ready for a full recap of last Friday’s events!
Lulu’s NYFW Style Studio was a blast! After meeting at my place, Alex and I headed down to the event in Soho and basically arrived at the same time as Katy. Luckily, when we got there it was still early so we could take our time browsing the various booths. There were also delicious treats and drinks for us to partake in- yum! Then, we followed our style map to determine our personal style. Just by looking at the descriptions, I knew that the most accurate for me was “Sweetheart.” Even better, we got to snag one free item from our signature style rack and Alex found this adorable skirt for me which I had pinned weeks ago as an item on my wishlist! I’m telling you, that girl has a knack for picking clothes for me (she did it at the Modswap event too!)
Jamillah met us at Style Studio and before we left, we had to snap outfit pictures, naturally! ;)

Alex was of course, behind the camera (she took the pictures above), so I don’t have any pictures of her! With my shoes already starting to pinch, the four of us trotted up to Blogger’s Night Out. If I thought the Lulu’s event was crowded, BNO was definitely packed! There were so many bloggers, it was kind of crazy! We were able to find a spot in the back room to sit and do a bit of people watching while we sipped our cocktails. Katy and I talked about this at the event, but what I love about blogger events is that everyone is dressed so differently. There was such a wide range of styles on display and it was fun to take note of all the cool pieces that people were wearing. TJ Maxx and Marshalls, one of the sponsors of BNO, alos had some great items on display, especially this gorgeous yellow purse below.
After a while we called it a night, but not before grabbing our swag bags! Check out all the fun goodies I scored below!
Lulu’s NYFW Style Studio and Blogger’s Night Out were both super fun events, but the best part was getting to hang out with Alex, Katy, and Jamillah! Can’t wait for the next event ladies! :D
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!

It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

Aw, I’ve been seeing posts about this event all over and it looks quite heavenly indeed! That skirt is really too adorable for words…just a great pick. You can never go wrong with polka dots:)
Both events look amazing, I wish they did these kinda things near me…and I love your nail polish, great colour :)

Too. Much. Fun. That polka dot skirt is so dreamy. And um, I want a swag bag! Please?
Such fun photos – looks like a great time! I know Modly Chic :)
Too bad we couldn’t meet up this NYFW, next time for sure!
I was just chatting with Jamillah last night and she told me that she met you. So bummed I couldn’t make it to New York this time around, but hopefully we can meet next Fashion Week!
Yes, I had a lot of fun hanging out with her a couple of weeks ago! Agreed, hope I can see you again soon! :)
So much fun! I’m jealous, haha

Oh man, I totally read your post on my phone and forgot to come back and comment. You are too sweet! And I hope I see you on Wednesday :). P.S-I completely walked out of BNO without my goodie bag :(
Aww, no worries- I can’t believe you even remembered to do so a couple months later! Your memory is way better than mine! So excited to see you mañana! :D
