This post wraps up the fashion week ones, I feel like I have been recapping events and days for months! So hang tight with me, because this one is the most exciting.. I promise!
It happened. Blogger’s Night Out really happened you guys! It’s still quite hard to believe that Kendall, Christine, Caitlin, Erika, Lynzy, and I pulled off this event. With less than four weeks until fashion week and a genius idea that just burst into our minds, we pushed full force and made this thing happen. For those of you who don’t know or haven’t heard anything about BNO, it is an event we created entirely for bloggers – more like a night out – for them to mingle, network, and engage with brands in a casual, inviting, and exciting atmosphere. The inaugural event was held at Pranna Restaurant in NYC – a modern Asian restaurant with incredible food, might I add. VOGA Italia wines sponsored, and their selection was absolutely deeeelicious! Some of the best wines I have ever had, hands down.

Thanks to so many of you, BNO was a huge success. Our first event featured over 10 sponsors with over 450 bloggers, brand representatives, and industry insiders present (Shout out to Caroline Waxler + Jen Ford of Lucky especially!). To be honest, I don’t have very many words to describe the night except this: surreal. I can’t tell you how many times I just stopped and took a look around at what was really happening. To know that I, along with some of my best blogger gal friends, had pulled off this event and in the amount of time that we did was incredibly accomplishing. We have had SUCH positive feedback and excitement following the event – it is overwhelming. And yes, this event will continue and may even be hosted in a city near you next!
