Blog Fete Mix and Mingle Beauty Bar

It isn't a girls night unless there's some take-away beauty items, right? This year Oh Goodie Designs and Moodylicious Spa teamed up to offer our attendees a beauty bar.  The beauty bar was stocked with perfume, lip gloss, gold seashell candles and more!  These custom made items were made specifically for the Blog Fete gals which is simply too cool!  The custom Blog Fete tray's, which we displayed the perfume and lip gloss on, blew me away.  It was our honor to showcase these two talented ladies and their companies.  Make sure to check out Oh Goodie/Style Inspired and Moodylicious for more details on products and services offered. 

A special thank you to the Blog Fete photographer, Renee Nicole Photography, for capturing the beauty bar details.

This entire week I'll be highlighting the Blog Fete mix and mingle so make sure to come back each day for more vendor displays and the ladies getting their mingle on.

Blog Fete Mix and Mingle Book Signing: Gourmet French Macaron Cookbook

The Blog Fete attendees were in for such a treat this year by not only getting their hands on a signed copy of the Gourmet French Macaron Cookbook but also by meeting the sweetest author ever. Mindy of Creative Juice created a phenomenal macaron cookbook and I was able to grab myself a copy and one for a special someone to receive this Christmas during the mix and mingle event. Not only were books available but so were delish macarons!  It was an honor having Mindy (who is now one of my most favorite people ever) at Blog Fete.  If you haven't grabbed a copy of her book, do so!

A special thank you to the Blog Fete photographer, Renee Nicole Photography for capturing the event details and book signing display.

Blog Fete Mix and Mingle Booth Vendor: EPM

I'm so thrilled to be sharing the Blog Fete Mix and Mingle Vendor EPM table display! Everyday Party Magazine aka EPM and is run by one of the sweetest and most down to earth ladies I know, Jessica.  She's such a sweetheart and is one of those who never over looks a detail when it comes to parties and displays.

The Blog Fete team was very picky on vendor booths for this years event and knew Jessica and her magazine would be a perfect company to highlight for the attendees.  With a majority of party-lovin' gals in the mix it was simply meant to be that EPM join the booth vendor line up for Blog Fete 2013.

A special thank you to the Blog Fete photographer, Renee Nicole Photography, for capturing vendor details.

Blog Fete Conference Day Attire

Blog Fete is an awesome day of learning and meeting new people. So what is the dress code, you ask? Think cute denim paired with punchy accessories. Keep it classic with a pop of one color or turn up the volume by mixing prints. Just be you! Layering is always good for those unpredictable hotel conference rooms. Don't forget to bring the basics like pens, pencils and a fun notebook for all your note taking! And since you will probably be sharing the day on social media, don't forget to bring a back up battery. They are a total MUST for any blogging conference. 1.
