If Bloggers Ruled The World

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0000

If you haven’t already seen it, I encourage you to check out my feature on Julip Made! Julie has put together an amazing series – I absolutely adore it, her blog, and her! Plus, aren’t you curious about my thoughts on what it would be like if bloggers ruled the world (hint: lots of caffeine and internet always available).

CapFABB Anniversary Party

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:29:20 +0000

Last night, thanks to H.Bloom and Cities Restaurant & Lounge (and some amazing behind-the-scenes ladies), CapFABB celebrated one year of existence with delicious cocktails, a make-your-own-accessory/arrangement “bud bar,” and photo booth fun! I can’t even tell you how lucky I feel to be a part of all of this and to have the support of a truly amazing group of bloggers and friends. Thanks to everyone who was there and even those who couldn’t make it! DC is the stylish city it is because of you!

Spicy Candy Brunch

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 06:45:19 +0000

Over the weekend, an amazing group of bloggers, photographers, and entrepreneurs got together for a brunch to celebrate the two-year anniversary and relaunch of Spicy Candy DC – one of my fave fashion and style blogs in the DC area! I’m lucky enough to have gotten to know Carlis and Katya over the past year through CapFABB, along with so many other talented area bloggers, and it was wonderful to get a group together for mimosas and merriment! Huge congrats to Spicy Candy for their accomplishments!

Many of you have already seen this and sent loads of amazing support and cheer my way, but I just wanted to reiterate how honored I am to be featured as one of the Washingtonian’s 10 Fashion and Beauty Bloggers to Watch in 2012. Thanks to Sarah and the Washingtonian for including me, and thanks to all of you who read, follow, comment, and support and inspire me – you give me SO much to smile about every day, and I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate it!

Blogger Night Out DC

Thu, 15 Dec 2011 05:36:19 +0000

Last night, I got together with some of my favorite bloggers at Bloomingdale’s in Chevy Chase for the DC Bloggers Night Out! It was a fantastic evening full of style, shopping, champagne, cupcakes and good company. Does it get any better? Thanks to Caitlin and Erika for planning and J Brand, Free Hands, Send the Trend, Bloomingdale’s and Stylebook for their help making it so much fun! So great to see everyone!

The New Ann Taylor

Tue, 08 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000

A new Ann Taylor concept store has opened in DC and to celebrate, we gathered DC area bloggers and threw a party complete with champagne, cupcakes, a fashion show and shopping! The store is the first “new concept” store in the area, and is the latest phase in the brand’s evolution, which started with the revamped collection in Fall 2009.

Blogger Meetup At Nectar

Wed, 05 Oct 2011 14:29:24 +0000

Last night, our monthly meetup with DC area fashion and beauty bloggers was held at Nectar Skin Bar in Georgetown, one of my favorite spots in DC! I was thrilled to see so many amazing and fashionable bloggers there, and am SO thankful for the amazing event they helped us throw! Not only could bloggers sample products and receive mini spa treatments, but there was food and drinks in the courtyard where we could all mingle and catch up! The cocktails made with Voli, the world’s first low calorie vodka (not even in stores yet, but look for it this fall!), were absolutely amazing!

Meetup At Violet Boutique

Thu, 25 Aug 2011 14:26:34 +0000

Last night, an amazing group of DC area bloggers gathered at Violet Boutique in Adams Morgan to chat, sip champagne and shop! The event was a huge success - we actually sold out (eeee!) and everyone was dying over the amazing selection of clothing and accessories in the store! Not only was everything super cute, but I don’t think I saw anything over $100! I can’t wait to go back and do some serious damage. Also, I blame my lack of people photos on the fact I was too distracted by the clothes… oops.

One Year Blogiversary!

Tue, 16 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Eeek! So Much to Smile About officially turns ONE today! I am so thankful for the support I’ve had over the past year I can’t even begin to explain – when I started this a year ago, I had no idea what an amazing experience it would be and I’m so excited about what the future holds! To celebrate, I’m giving away a DOZEN cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcake (home of the TLC show DC Cupcakes)! Because what would a celebration be without sweets? You can pick whatever kind you want and they can be delivered anywhere – just “like” So Much to Smile About on Facebook and leave a comment below!

Fashion Blogger Meetup At Carbon

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Last night, fashion and beauty bloggers from all over the DC area met up at Carbon in Woodley Park to connect, catch up, and meet with like-minded bloggers and designers. Carbon, an eco-friendly boutique that’s provided Washingtonains with upscale, sustainable fashion since 2004, sells shoes, clothing, accessories and handbags by an array of amazing designers, many of whom were present at the event. I loved everything in the store – and as I discussed with one of the designers, it’s not just about being eco-friendly – everything was gorgeous regardless! But the fact it is sustainable is a fabulous plus!

South Moon Under

Sat, 25 Jun 2011 04:04:42 +0000

On Thursday, South Moon Under hosted a fabulous in-store event for their exclusive Michael Stars pop-up shop in honor of DCFABB. I had an absolute blast shopping all the new clothes, catching up with fellow bloggers (loved running into Fasshonaburu!) and enjoying delicious Crumbs cupcakes, sushi and cocktails!

The Michael Stars spring/summer selections included casual-chic tees and dresses, lots of color and fun print, and lightweight scarves perfect for summer layering. Inspiration was drawn “from the eclectic sensibility and exotic aesthetics of global jet-setting, spotlighted by crochet trims, billowing retro shapes, tribal accents and rugged safari styling.”
