Tilden's blog started as an online portfolio where she would occasionally feature personal style posts. Over time these posts gained more notoriety and she claims that this helped steer her blog in a different direction. Now she blogs mostly about fashion and "the occasional lifestyle post". I love that Tilden shares my affinity for connecting with other bloggers and learning form their success. "[My] favorite thing is the opportunity to create partnerships and friendships with others that are genuinely passionate about the blogging industry". 

One of the things that Tilden and I found that we have in common is a love of laid back style and connecting with nature. Hence, our guest posting feature in honor of Earth Day! We have both featured earth tone inspired looks to honor the day and lead into our awesome and charitable giveaway.

Last night I met up with Dariel for a quick Holiday Photo-shoot before heading over to Warehouse for the Boston Blogger Holiday Party! We had so much fun shooting and even more fun eating (obviously) and socializing with all of the fabulous bloggers in Boston.

I want to give a special thank you to Kate and Alison for hosting such a great event. After ruthlessly stalking many of them on Instagram, I was able to meet so many great bloggers in person.

Keep an eye out for more OOTD posts, recipes, 195 Webster posts, and Holiday inspired outfits and gifts! Happy Humpday!

Several weeks ago, I received my acceptance email from Lucky FABB and literally shrieked with joy! I was so excited to travel to NYC for the conference and for the opportunity to meet other bloggers and network. The conference was held on October 24th and 25th at the Times Center and Conde Nast building respectively. Unfortunately, I was only able to attend Day One of the conference due to conflicts with work but let me tell you, it was a blast!

The event included various panel discussions, brand experiences and a cocktail hour where we were all able to mingle with the editors of Lucky Magazine and discuss the events of the day. Below are my pictures from the event and from the great days in the city spent with my friend and fellow blogger Kelsey!

She was just as amazing as you would expect her to be. Add her to my girl crush list!

She even taught us how to style a fabulous head scarf.

Can't get enough of her, she's such an inspiration and a sweetheart!

John is seriously my new favorite person. I could not stop laughing at his sarcastic sense of humor the entire time he was on stage. May or may not have creepily tweeted at him too...

A Style Conversation with Kate Bosworth (below)

She was incredibly well spoken and captivating. The style that she emanates is perfect and it was such a treat to hear her speak about her wedding, personal style, and of course her new collection at Topshop!

Please can we also appreciate how phenomenal her shoes are??

I feel like this picture is the perfect way to sum up my trip to NYC- it was such an exciting blur! Kelsey and I capped off Thursday with dinner in Times Square followed by cocktails at Wined Up where my friend works. It was so fun and I feel so blessed and lucky (pun intended) to have experienced all of it. Thanks for reading!
