When: Saturday, September 11th, 2010

Where: Lunch @ NYU Campus + Super Duper Awesome Blogger Meetup @Hecho En Dumbo 

What: Dress ($14.99 The Kissing Tree Vintage), shoes (Forever 21), vintage tassle necklace ($13.95 Bodhi’s Junque), ring (H&M), bracelets (Pippin Vintage Jewelry)

I had a funtastic time this past week attending fashion-bloggy type events!  I’ve been learning so much and connecting with so many great people, and I’m just really excited to take this blog to the next level for all of my readers.  My head is swimming with all of the ideas and possibilities.  So thanks to everyone who’s stuck with Closet Confections this far… THINGS ARE ONLY GOING TO GET BETTER!

Now on to my outfit…

Just like last time, I had a minor spaz-attack when trying to select an outfit for this event.  Luckily, this dress had just come in the mail.  It was a lot shorter than I was expecting, so wearing it to work was out of the question (unless I wear it tucked into a skirt… hmmmm…).  But I thought it would be perfect for a night out with the girls.

Speaking of the girls…

Don’t they all look amazing?!  Trust me, they’re even more fun in person.  Thanks so much to From Skirts to Skillets for organizing such a great event. Special shout out to A Sequin Dress at Breakfast and Le Kiss Kiss for letting me steal some photos (my husband had the camera during my photo shoot earlier in the day, and I forgot to get it back from him).  And it was also great hanging out with Spicy Candy DC and Much to My Delight.  These ladies all rock, so be sure to check out their blogs. 

If you’re in the photo, and I forgot to link your blog just shoot me an email.

Also, don’t miss out on this month’s vintage necklace giveaway!

When: Monday, September 6th, 2010

Where: Failed attempt to have dessert at Serendipity 3 + Starbuck’s

What:  Dress ($50 Walter via Century21), denim jacket (Forever 21), shoes (Sam Edelman via Loehmann’s), handbag ($40 Michael Kors thrifted via Beacon’s Closet) PYT bracelet (Lyric Culture via HauteLook), nail polish ($7 Gold Chrome by Sally Hensen Color Quick)

I’ve been jonesing for a Minx Manicure in metallic gold, but I just haven’t had the time to swing by a salon that offers it.  Needless to say, I was stoked when I saw the next best thing in my local drug store.  The picture doesn’t quite do this color justice, but I was very pleased with the results.

Closet Confection: Stuffing My Face

When: Sunday, September 5th, 2010

Where: Street Fair near Rockefeller Center

What: Dress (H&M Garden Collection), belt (vintage), boots (Steve Madden), handbag ($40 Michael Kors thrifted via Beacon’s Closet)

Yeah, this is pretty much what I do every weekend… stuff my face!  It’s been a while since I actually stopped by one of the city’s myriad street fairs.  I used to be obsessed with them in college and would stop at every one that I passed.  But I quickly realized that they were all pretty much the same.  But this weekend, I just couldn’t resist the aroma of sweet italian sausage and fried zeppoli. Yum!
