I had the pleasure of attending the Arizona Blogger Conference not too long ago. It was put on by the Phoenix Style Collective and held at the Saguaro Hotel in Scottsdale. The Hotel had a great mid-century vibe and was full of color! {Image via Brenda Eden.}
Perfect timing with Cinco De Mayo! These Skulls were so chic. (A rule of thumb: a lot of something makes a HUGE impact!) {Image via Brenda Eden.}
They also had a sweet Madewell backdrop and a professional (Brenda Eden) photographing everyone as they came in. Erica would have loved the denim, too bad the event coincided with her friend’s wedding! {Image via Brenda Eden.}
I wore a vintage inspired outfit, the skirt actually was my grandma’s! (isn’t it funny how things come so back in style?) The vintage Coach purse and watch are from the Plaza. The belt and necklace are other vintage finds, the shirt is Forever 21 and the boots are from Last Chance. {Image via Brenda Eden.}
They had a meet and greet table with name tags and make your own friendship bracelet, I got through about 2 inches before I started moving on, there were so many people to meet! {Image via Brenda Eden.}
Look at all the fashionable ladies, isn’t it insane? Everyone was dressed to the nines. {Image via loves pretty things.}
I had the pleasure of meeting all these ladies. Aren’t their outfits cute? And there are definitely some vintage and repurposed pieces in there. {Image via Brenda Eden.}
They also brought in a model to show the fashion bloggers some new poses! {Image via Brenda Eden.}
And some fabulous speakers shared everything from photo tips to blogging for business to supporting local businesses, all things we are very passionate about (as a local business that needs photo tips!!) {Image via Running on Happiness}
All in all, it was a great conference. I got to pass out these cards I made and made a lot of great connections. We hope to be able to partner with more local bloggers for fashion, DIY and definitely more giveaways! If you have an idea please let us know! ericaandkat@gmail.com
Until then, we’ll be working on our vintage fashion ensembles and our photography skills :) Can’t wait for the next event!
