Thank you Rocquelle and Juanette for your photography skills!

You can't even almost imagine the things that were laughed about before, during and after these pictures were taken.

Serious stuff like diversity, media and SUPER important stuff like unpleasant looking babies, humble brags, blogger buns, paying for landscaper bills in  pancakes...the origin of "the dingho ate my baby" phrase...so much more.


It was like watching an episode of "The View" but way funnier and a lot more stylish.

 Kendi...I so enjoy that you are as humorous in "real life" as you are on your blog!

Jentine...you have my heart...and my yard! (She's a kickass landscaper:)

We (Thelma/Juanette and I) had some powerful conversations with the ladies pictured in this post and so many more that were not pictured the entire weekend.
Some of the conversations truly needed to be documented although some need to be classified!
Ultimate girl talk!

Look for more pics on the GFS FB page soon.

What Happens in Austin...Gets A Blog Post!

This weekend I went to Austin to attend the Texas Style Council Conference. 

This was my second year in a row.

At this point, it's worth it just to hug all of my "blog friends in my head."

I wasn't prepared for the cold and rainy weather.

Like bronchitis kind of weather...because that's what I have now.

Oh wait that's not it...I also have an ear infection.

(And I am way too old to get ear infections, no!?!)

So consider these pictures "bb"...before bronchitis.

 Dress: H&M

Jacket: The Gap

Shoes: Jessica Simpson

Clutch: Borrowed from Juanette...she is the queen of accessories!

I was able to hang out with my blog buddy Rocquelle from Consider Me Lovely.

It's been over year since I've seen her last. I gotta do better!

I just adore her spirit and her style. And she is hella smart...like for reals...she knows alot of stuff!

Kourtney from Cheap Chic and Curvy was there. 

Every time I see her, I wanna hug her! 

She has the best giggle:)

Ultimate busy woman Elissa was there!

And my all time love/SHERO... KYLA was there.

There are no words to express how I feel about Kyla. 
She knows.
 That's all that matters:)

 And Juanette...my partner in crime...quite literally. 

I can't share the shenanigans because we have a secrecy pact and both of us would have to "off" each other.

After this picture was taken...there were giggles, wet feet, waffles, bad waiters...in no particular order

More pics/bloggers to come...right after I take a swig of cough syrup laced with heaven codeine.

The only thing that is making me feel better right now is catching up on episodes of New Girl...while trying to not cough/choke while gigging.


Shout out to L. Michelle...I need to jack some of your pics!

Houston Blogger Meet & Greet!

If you are in Houston on March 26, come say Hi and hangout!

(Feel free to repost on your blog/tweet...the more, the merrier!)

 

Alot of you are in Houston so this is the perfect time to network and mingle!

Nothing formal. Feel free to bring business cards or just come hang out for a few hours:)

 Let me know if you plan on being there!

You can also bring your donation for me to purchase my Gressimo Gingham Knot Pumps. I will take all increments of money. Thank you.

Just kidding....unless you gon' do it:)

And I will be at the Texas Style Council in Austin this weekend! I look forward to meeting some of my favorite bloggers!
