SO much fun at the Portland Bloggers meet-up!


Lucky, lucky me--I got to go to the April Portland Bloggers meet-up last weekend, and had SUCH a great time!

The event was put on by Jenni of A Well-Crafted Party and Leave the Laundry for Later, with help from Sam of Sam Rosen.  The event was held in the community room of the posh Atwater Place in Portland's South Waterfront district--thanks to the lovely Adi of Garden of Edlen for the space!

Here are some pics I was able to take in all the hullabaloo...
Sam, Justine, and Megan
It was a cocktail party, not a brunch like the other events, so significant others were invited, too!  My sweet husband came along and not only was a good sport but had a great time, himself!
Olga and Susanna

Oh, and how about a How to Wear DIY portion of this post?

Well, I haven't told you about the dress I made for the event yet (that post coming soon!  Details and all, I promise!) so how about we do this in reverse order?

Here's an outfit post for ya, featuring the peplum skirted dress I made...
Necklace, shoes: Forever 21 (similar and similar shoes). Belt: Charlotte Russe.
Lipstick: Radiant Poppy. Dress: DIY, post coming soon!

Oh, and the moral of the story?  Look around for blogger groups in your area and really try to go to their events.  You won't be sorry!  I always feel really excited and positive when I get to talk to other bloggers.  And if you're in Portland, of course... email Jenni for details, and I hope to see you at the next event in June!
