Hi Ladies & Gents,
I hope all of you are having a great week! Can
you guys believe we are heading into February?! I am actually ready for
next month because its NYFW. I'm so excited that I will be going
this year since I was away in September and wasn't able to
attend. I can’t wait to bring you my coverage on street fashion and the shows I
will be attending. I may even do a vlog for my YouTube chanel so
you guys can see what goes down so stay tuned for that.
So let’s get down to this post. I had the
opportunity to attend the Cosmo Magazine Fun Fearless Event in November and I
can tell you it was a fun event. There was fashion and inspiration all packed
into one event.
The speakers included industry-celebs like Cosmo
Editor-in-Chief Joanna Coles, Kelly Osbourne, Gabrielle
Union, Nasty Gal’s Sophia Amoruso, Sara Blakely of Spanx,
and many more. The day was full of motivational speeches and
interesting panels that were pretty cool to watch. There was a Maybelline makeup
counter where they were giving mini makeovers and the Express pop-up store was
an awesome touch as well. I scored a cute clutch with a battery charger for my
phone, which I end up ripping open to charge up my phone.lol.
I can honestly go through each speaker but honestly to feel each
story you had to be there. I can tell you the one that inspired me the most
was Sara Blakely. Her story really challenged me to fight for what I
want when it comes to my dreams because all it takes is one person to believe
in you. She was pretty funny too, she joked that she's probably the only woman
on the planet who is grateful for her cellulite, since it was the inspiration
behind her billion dollar idea company "Spanx".
I truly enjoyed her segment.
Overall it was a great event but I was a little
disappointed that there weren't really an opportunities to network
which I feel is so important as a blogger. During breaks it was just a
whole bunch of scrambling around to get some food or figure out who were just
fans of Cosmo vs industry people. Regardless, I had a fab time and was even
featured on Cosmo's website for best street style.
Check out some pictures below of what I wore for
both days of the event and some pictures of the event itself. Stay tuned for
some cool events for the month of February.
Peace & Love
