Meeting Joy Cho + Anthropologie’s Petite Trunk Show

If you’re in the blogging community, you know Joy, her awesome blog, and her stinkin’ cute baby. And last week at Anthropologie‘s petites trunk show event, guests were treated to a delectable dessert spread from the Sweet and Saucy Shop, TO DIE for pieces (that fit me!), and an intimate meet-and-greet with miss “Oh Joy!” herself. It was truly an evening to remember (but way better decorations than prom) :)

Besides the amazing surroundings, I had the opportunity to mingle with some great company: Hayley of The Weekend File, Kristin of Kristin Eldridge Photography, blogger Claudia Bravo, Courtney of neighboring store, C Wonder, and the AMAZING team (Jenny, Kellene, Sarah, Nicole, Hailey and the rest of the crew) at Anthropologie. Joy was absolutely the sweetest and unexpectedly approachable given her celebrity status in the blogging world (I mean – no body guards?! Crazy!) We chatted for about 15 long minutes – learning about each others hobbies, families and of course, how haaaaard it is to find clothes that fit tinier women. Later, I even had the chance to try on their petite Sunblaze Lace Dress – ooh la la! If only…

So thankful to the Anthro team for putting on such a great event!!

In other news, I am thrilled to share the launch The Clever Blog; a collaboration between interior designer and brand guru, Linsi Brownson, and stylist and founder of The Wardrobe Code, Nicole Longstreath. Tune in to the site often to see my contributions to their Lifestyle column, and please stop by and show them some love for all their hard work and creativity!
