Annnd we’re back with Day 2!

I didn’t have any shows on my second day, but I did have the StyleCollective Party! So unfortunately, there were a lot of mishaps with the party this year. This was the first time that they hosted a night time gathering instead of a brunch so there were a lot of kinks to be worked out. I must say that although several things went wrong (they ran out of wine, cocktail popsicles, and swag bags, to name a few things) I do feel like I got my money’s worth and had a great time with some of my blogger friends. To start the night off, I got an incredible gel manicure with foil FOR FREE in the VIP area! Honestly, this was enough to make up the cost of my ticket alone! I love the shape of my nails and my manicurist did an incredible job and was so patient with me despite my indecision (#libraprobs). Since I was coming from that important meeting I told you guys about in last night’s post, I was fresh faced and excited to get my make-up done for free as well! StyleCollective hired this really cool company called BeGlammed, who sends top rated hairstylists and makeup artists to your home. I thought this was a super cool concept and all of the stylists were incredibly nice. I just decided that I’m going to include a gift card for their services in my giveaway. If you haven’t entered yet, uh..what are you waiting for? You better go ahead and do that here. The rest of the night was filled with a lot of rosé sipping, taco eating, chatting, and picture taking. Honestly, the time was flying by so quickly it got late before I knew it!

I’ve so enjoyed being a part of a community of beautiful and inspiring women and turning online friends into real friends <3 if you’re interested in joining StyleCollective, let me know in the comments below and I’ll hook it up!

I remember the first time I visited the StyleCollective website when I initially started blogging 3 almost 4 years ago, and I wanted to join so badly. I loved the idea of being a part of a blogger network to meet other bloggers and swap resources and ideas, especially when I was just getting started and had no idea what I was doing. At the time, you had to apply to join and I was way too intimidated to do so. Flash forward to now, I finally took the leap to join and I am so incredibly happy that I did! I had my first meet-up with other NYC StyleCollective sisters this past week and it immediately felt like we were a family. All of the conversations were so easy and everyone was so excited to exchange ideas and tips. Like, I can’t reiterate enough how incredibly cool it was to be in a room full of beautiful women who were eager to lift each other up and form relationships as opposed to competing and tearing each other down; but that’s what StyleCollective is all about! It’s incredibly refreshing and I feel so blessed to be a part of such an inspiring group of women.

We were hosted by the lovely Ann Taylor flagship store at Rockefeller Center and they did an incredible job of lining up a beautiful spread for us filled with cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery and fancy Voss water! They also provided us with stylists to help us shop and utilize the wonderful 40% off our total purchase discount that was exclusive for the members of StyleCollective (and this was on top of the other great sales they had going on in the store at the moment!!). After a couple of hours of fellowship, shopping, a raffle, and an ADORABLE parting gift from Ann Taylor, my first SC event came to an end.

I left feeling so inspired and again, really blessed and grateful. I’m so looking forward to seeing what other opportunities come from being a part of this wonderful group of women, and I’m sure you will be hearing a lot more about StyleCollective and my experiences moving forward.
