The Dress Up Soirée NYC

by jennine on February 19, 2009

Alright… I’m so sorry, I’ve been MIA since I’ve been in New York… seriously, it’s been a whirlwind, but I’m reading all your comments, and sooo appreciate them. One of the things I was doing was organizing the Dress Up Soirée NYC for my other site Independent Fashion Bloggers. We had an amazing turnout, and it was great to meet all the other fashion bloggers who were in the area. Everyone was just amazing and so much fun. I really am looking forward to the next IFB Dress Up Soiree in London organized by Mademoiselle Robot. If it’s anything like the New York party, we’re going to have a great time.

Here are some photos from the event… There is a great contest on Modepass, where you can vote for your favorite blogger (not me, I’m running it) so please vote! Some prizes include the Vivienne Tam edition HP Mini, clothes from Complex Geometries, Norwegian Wood, Gabrielle and Schwan, a Gift Certificate to Anica Boutique… so support your bloggers, they work really hard, and don’t get paid much. Click on the images to vote.  Photos by the awesome Dustin Fenstermacher.

It was so much fun! Thanks for everything, Jennine.

Also, since Jennine is being shy, I posted a few pics of her outfit on our blog:

What!? Dress up? Soiree? Fun? Is that part of life too?? Is that what all the pretty “not so appropriate for work” pretty clothes in my closet are for?? Darn!… I knew I was missing out on the good stuff…:-(

Cool stuff! Maybe next for me…

This looks so fun! And, of course, everyone looks great-what else would you expect from a group of fashion bloggers partying in NYC?

Well, I for one, had a fabulous time. It was so great to meet everyone. It’s easy to get caught up in the virtual world of Twitter and blog reading, but to meet some of the bloggers I admire most was incredible. Thanks for all of your hard work! I can’t wait until the next IFB meet up!
