What I've Been Up To

August has been a busy travel month as I've accomplished a lot of networking, and I have learned so much about myself and met many incredible mentors. One of the highlights of my summer was attending the Midwest Style Bloggers brunch this past Saturday in Des Moines (my home town!), and the experience was informative and fun! I had a blast hanging out and drinking mimosas with so many Iowa style bloggers that are happy to offer advice and tips. Knowing that a new blogger like myself is surrounded by a supportive network all centered around empowering each other and women is pretty incredible. I can't help but feel very fortunate to be a Midwest Style Blogger!

Part of our MSB brunch included receiving a "swag bag" full of goodies (pictured top right) from our fabulous sponsors! I'm excited to start blogging about all my new digs, including my new black and gold BaubleBar bracelet in the bottom right picture. I now wear it everyday and it goes with almost every outfit. Thank you BaubleBar!

Since our MSB brunch, I've become even more excited to continue blogging for Stylin' Iowan and inspired to experiment with new trends as they happen in the fashion world.  Make sure to check out my Twitter and Instagram pages to see my life in tweets and pictures, and also visit the Midwest Style Bloggers website here!
