Wednesday night myself and Kristin went to the first Chicago Blogger Network event downtown at Tribute in the Essex hotel. The drinks were flowing and there was amazing food being passed around. The event was a total success and I had the pleasure of meeting so many wonderful bloggers and industry people as well! What a fashionable and fun group of people! I think I actually came away from the night with a few new friends to boot!
A special thank you to the ladies over at Chicago Blogger Network for setting up such a great event!
To make the night even that much more amazing, I won a pair of FABULOUS earrings! They are so wonderful they get their own post ;) Make sure to check back tomorrow to see my new jewels!
