Hey guys! So sorry for my lack of posting last week. Once I got to Dallas it was GO GO GO and once we got back to the room I was out like a light! Today I wanted to recap my outfits from the conference and tell you all a bit about the weekend!
I arrived on Thursday and met up with a couple of my roommates including our fabulous photographer, Amanda, for lunch at Mico. This has turned into a tradition every year and I am pretty sure I could eat there the entire trip. I love me a Ricardo salad any day of the week. After lunch we headed to the Crescent hotel to check in and meet up with the rest of our roommates. I wore the cutest denim skirt and white off the shoulder top to lunch. I have the luxury of driving to Dallas, so a quick change out of my comfty travel sweats was easy peasy. This skirt has the cutest fit and I love the mix of denim washes. This top is also on sale and does run a bit big.

After check in and catching up with lots of my favorite girls, we headed to the room to get ready for the first party! Sole Society put together the cutest pool side party for us. We had delicious watermelon margaritas, a taco bar and a mariachi band even came out. I always love the first night, because I get to see so many of my friends I rarely get to see and also meet lots of new faces. I remember my very first Reward Style conference and the first night made me so nervous. While the nerves still creep up, it always ends up being a super fun night. I wore an asymmetrical white skirt and croptop to the poolside chic attire party. I picked up this skirt during the shopbop sale and was so happy with it! The fit is comfortable and super flattering. My crop top has the prettiest tropical print and I love the large tie in the back.

The next day was the first day of brand meetings and classes. We all got up bright and early, grabbed a yummy acai bowl and coffee. I wore the most gorgeous Zimmermann Dress and It is pretty much the most beautiful dress I have ever worn! I fell in love with the neutral floral pattern and the`stunning back. Zimmermann pieces are very pricey and I have always been a bit hesitant in purchasing one, but the quality is incredible and its a piece I will forever have it my closet. For lunch we all headed over to Shake Shack where Banana Republic hosted the cutest picnic lunch. Can y’all believe this was the first time I have ever had Shake Shack?!? Needless to say I am a fan! I was SO excited to finally meet the Banana Republic in person and I can’t wait to share a fun project we are working on for their June/July collection! Below is a peek of the Zimmermann dress, but stay tuned for a full blog post soon!

That night Bumble hosted a party at the Crescent hotel. They pulled out all the stops with a yellow carpet, gorgeous desert inspired lounging areas, yummy finger foods and all the champagne your little heart could desire. I wore a beautiful white lace Stevie May dress. I fell in love with the exaggerated sleeves and intricate detailing. It also comes in a romper version too! After seeing the carpet, I wish I would have picked up THESE earrings in yellow to wear!

The next day was day 2 of brand meetings and classes. I wore a mint blue lace ruffle BCBG dress with blush accessories. This dress is also absolutely gorgeous and such a statement piece! I will be sharing a full blog post on this dress and the gorgeous Topshop lunch tmrw so stay tuned for that!

That night was the Finale LIKEtoKNOW.it app party! This year they pulled out ALL the stops and the attire was black tie. I will admit, shopping for black tie can be a bit tricky, especially when you are in a room with 200 gorgeous bloggers haha! I opted to stick to what I love the most and wore THIS gorgeous blush pink gown. This dress is also by BCBG and I fell in love with the fit first and of course the color second. The ruffles and cutouts were the perfect mix and I was so comfortable the entire night! Also I have to mention my shoes! THESE pearl strappy shoes are under $50 and look like a million bucks! They were not uncomfortable and lasted thru 2 hours of me dancing. This girl likes to dance! 😉

The Reward style conference is always something I look forward to year after year. I love catching up with my long time blogger friends but also absolutely love meeting new girls! There are so many girls I felt like I already knew by following on instagram, but getting to know them in person was so much more fun! The Reward style team does not miss a beat when putting together the conference and I am always blown away by each and every detail. I always come back feeling motivated, inspired and all around happy. Of course, I miss my baby girl and husband terribly and you better believe I facetimed an unhealthy amount #guilty. I am 1000% blessed with the best blogger friends and so thankful for this supportive, genuine group of girls!
If you guys have any questions about the conference let me know! I would love to answer them and maybe even do a q&a on instastories!
Have a great week guys and see you back here tomorrow!
