On Tuesday, I went to my first ever Austin Fashion Week parties! I have to say, I had no idea Austin even had a fashion week until my friend, Jonie, (the beautiful face of Only If You Love It) told me about it a month ago. I guess I still see Austin as such a small town sometimes! We ended up going to two soirees at local boutiques, Rare Trends and Found.

One of the coolest parts of the night was meeting all these Austin bloggers that I had “known” from Instagram for so long! It was so funny going up to someone and calling them by their blog name, like “are you the Iron Pearl?” Hahaha! Priceless first encounters were happening all night, that’s for sure, but it was amazing because we already had such a special connection with each other! The blogging community in Austin is so small, so finding each other has been pretty easy. I met so many talented, sweet, smart, and fashionable ladies, and we already have a brunch meet-up thanks to Mandy (Hello Daisy)!

I’ll be taking Thursday off to rest up, but I’ll be at the fashion shows on Friday and Saturday! I can’t wait! If any Austin bloggers are reading this, see you there!
