so you probably already know i’m a pretty big fan of weardrobe. i was fortunate enough to meet the lovely people behind the site (suzanne, rich, and jessica of what i wore) in new york this summer during the blogger conference, and it was a blast! so i just have to tell you about their latest developments: weardrobe has teamed up with like.com to offer you a new “shop the look” feature for any of the outfits featured on the site. and i am so pleased to see that two of my outfits are featured right now, so you should definitely check it out!

boy, now i am even more tempted to break the bank with a new pair of over the knee boots.

oh, such small pleasures! if you check out the american apparel polyester micro-fiber tulip skirt, there’s a little section titled “seen on bloggers” with a teeny tiny picture of yours truly wearing said mini skirt. what a delightful little discovery! anyway, the picture is small but it does link back to the original post here. but i figured i would show you the outfit again anyway!

imagine my delight this morning when i was checking my email, and this popped up when i clicked on my daily newsletter from who what wear. i’m an october myspace muse! pretty cool, no? i was quite flattered/entertained by their editorial take on my outfit:

After viewing Coco Avant Chanel, what piqued our interest most about the iconic designer was something we already knew well: we love her simple, elegant designs, especially in the face of all the frou-frou popular in that era. Erin, 26, from Oakland, quietly channels that tasteful glamour in her uncomplicated, yet chic, arrangement of nude shoes and a black frock. The vintage-inspired silhouette of her daytime dress is quite ladylike, but looks fresh when personalized with a shorter hemline and bow-bedecked flats.

aw, i feel honored. you can read the rest by clicking here.

first up, a photo shoot with photographer eddie newton, formerly of style sightings. he just launched his own street style blog, mr. newton, and his first post was about the ladies of weardobe! you must check it out.

all the girls crowded into the weardrobe suite for tons of goodies from our sponsors. thank you so much to nooka, seychelles and b.c. footwear, shopruche, necklush, we love colors, victoria’s secret, cheap monday, need supply, 80’s purple, hayden harnett, bing bang, who what wear, sigg, knockout, pac sun, and flip cam! after all the goodies, we ordered pizza and got gift certificates for custom jeans courtesy of indidenim!

oh, and did i mention that we stayed in the super-fancy gramercy park hotel? it was quite luxurious.

started saturday morning with a subway ride.

one of the highlights of the trip for me was the brunch at eat records and the shopping spree at fred flare across the street! the food at eat records hit the spot and the ladies of fred flare were so sweet! they did a cute little blog post about it, including an extra special video.

onto the pacsun d.i.y. denim session at 3rd ward! pacsun was super-generous: not only did they provide us with gift cards to the store, but they arranged for a really fun d.i.y. project, complete with tons of pairs of skinny jeans to choose from and an array of studs and embellishments.

onto dinner at fat hippo courtesy of gilt groupe! i must mention several things here. one, fat hippo has the most amazing comfort food ever. two, felicity and gabby of gilt groupe were super cool ladies. and three, i’m a huge fan of gilt fuse, they carry some of the more reasonably priced designer items at discounted prices. score. if you want to sign up, you can use my personal invitation link.

afterward, we continued the festivities at the weardrobe suite with wine, cheesecake, and good times. it’s funny, but with all of the events, downtime like this was some of the most enjoyable and valuable time we had together. it was great to have the opportunity to talk about blogging with other bloggers in real life. crazy idea, no?

sunday morning began with a press brunch at lure in soho. i do not typically eat at such fancy restaurants, so this was a particularly enjoyable experience. we had our own weardrobe menus.

the photoshoot with craig arend of altamira nyc was a blast. since we were blocking traffic in the crowded streets of soho, we made quite a spectacle and managed to generate a crowd of onlookers. rebecca and i took cheesy tourist shots of ourselves in front of the shoot. oh, and you should also visit the altamira blog post about weardrobe, too.

the window styling challenge at eryn brinie was also a delight. i got paired up with sara and i have to say, we were super pleased with the styling of our mannequin. she came out very casual chic, and sara was a blast to work with.

we had an opportunity to break for a little shopping and hit up a few stores. i picked up 2 pairs of cute earrings at lunessa and had fun browsing through the cute offerings at invent.ory.

after the shopping, we all gathered at new work city for a blogging workshop with rue la la and tumblr. in fact, now that i understand the whole idea of tumblr, i’ve started my own, and i think i’m getting used to it. oh these kids and their technology! also, if you would like to join rue la la, you may use my personal invitation link.

the last day of the conference ended with a lovely brunch and clothing swap at the weardrobe suite. we all said our goodbyes and i have to admit, even i got a little teary-eyed. all of the girls were just so wonderful!

we finished up with some photo booth photos. aw, i miss you guys already! thank you so much to suzanne, rich, and jessica of weardrobe for an unforgettable weekend. you guys are awesome!

all images were pulled from either the weardrobe tumblr or the weardrobe flickr pool, where you can also find tons more images of the weekend. my apologies that i don’t have individual photo creds, but it’s all thanks to the weardrobe ladies:

i just wanted to stop in very quickly to let you know that i have not forgotten about the incredible amazing weardrobe nyc blogger conference! it was an incredible meeting with 20 other girls over 4 days in nyc where we could collaborate, share ideas, and just talk with one another. oh, and there was some pretty awesome swag, too!!! if you want to see some good coverage, weardobe has an awesome tumblr with plenty of pictures being added daily! and if that isn’t enough for you, there is also a weardrobe flickr group with tons of pictures from all of the girls which is also continuing to be updated! and last but not least, i have also linked to all of the lovely weardrobe ladies in a section over to the right. take a peek!

in the meantime, i have been writing up a little time-line of all of the events and pooling pictures together to show you a document of the event from my perspective. i’m anxious to start posting, but i didn’t end up taking that many photos myself, so it’s still a work in progress.
