SIMPLY STYLIST CHICAGO 2014

We had SUCH an amazing time at Simply Stylist last year, so when we heard that the fashion and beauty conference was coming back this year, we knew we couldn't miss it. 

It was so much fun to network with all of the industry experts, bloggers, and fashionistas. From the brunch to the breakout sessions (and the shopping in-between), we couldn't pick a favorite part. And Jill was so honored to hold her own breakout session on Blogging 101!

After brunch, host Catt Sadler kicked things off with an extremely inspiring panel. Annie of Katherine Cosmetics, Ally Cooke of CS Magazine, Stephanie Mark of The Coveteur, and Wendy Nguyen of Wendy’s Lookbook all shared their past experiences, advice, and stories of how they started in the industry.

So great seeing Catt Sadler again this year!

It was then time for Jill's breakout session! She loved speaking at the conference and learning from everyone who attended. It was such an awesome experience and she can't thank everyone enough who came!

Time for Jill's breakout session!

Loved speaking at the conference.

Can you tell Jill is Italian by how she talks with her hands?

Ew, Jill.

We also got the chance to hear Heidy from BECLOTHESMINDED's session on body image. She's amazing and successful. I think we have a new #WCW!

Heidy from BECLOTHESMINDED is amazing. That is all.

Of course we had to do a little shopping after that (and drinking, and eating, and chit-chatting with some of our favorite bloggers).

We can't wait for Simply Stylist 2015!
