I love blogger meet ups. This type of event is a safe, positive environment where it’s ok to take a ton of photos of yourself, wear something fashion forward (to outsiders this might also be viewed as weird or out there) and randomly meet people from the internet. Did I mention I love blogger meet ups?
My dear friend Tieka organized the Michigan Blogger Meet Up in downtown Grand Rapids. We attended a local fashion show and then grabbed drinks and appetizers at the Monkey Bar. The girls I met were super awesome too. I loved looking at their outfits and different styles. So cute. It was fun to see there is such a growing community of fashion bloggers in the state. Love you ladies!
I, of course went with another staple black dress with strong shoulders, black striped tights and a pair of sky high wedges that would make Lady Gaga would tip her hat to. Oh and of course, my new leopard print bag thanks to Le Mode Accessories. I wore it over my shoulder and as a clutch throughout the night. I enjoyed the options and the little something extra it brought to my all black ensemble.

I attacked Tieka
Before the event, I got to photograph Heather of Simply Sunstar. We also stuffed our faces with hot dogs, but I didn’t document that.
