A few weeks ago, Caitlin from Southern Curls & Pearls told me she was hosting a fall styling party at Lilly Pulitzer Charlotte. Well LP just so happens to be a love of mine, and above all else I LOVE TO SHOP. But most importantly, I enjoy meeting new people and making new friends. I immediately thought that this would be something fun to do with my time, and since the event was in Charlotte I made sure to add it to my planner right away.
Shortly after I made up my mind to go to Caitlin's event, another semi-new blogger Alyssa over at The Lesson Plan Diva thought it would be a great idea to meet up and go to the event together...and I am so glad I did! Alyssa brought along her sweet boy, Philip, who knew Caitlin, and we ventured to the styling party excited and ready for a fun night ahead.
From here, all I can say is it that my night turned out to be one of the best nights I have had in such a long time. Caitlin and Alyssa literally are the sweetest.girls.ever. Not only are they precious and have the cutest style, but they are truly genuine, hilarious and now real life friends of mine...I couldn't be more thankful for this random friendship that has just begun!
After sipping on pink bellini's, trying on clothes and making our purchases, Alyssa, Philip and I headed to Mavericks were we met my boyfriend Will for dinner! After dinner, we headed to Brazwells were we met up with Caitlin, Mason from Mason Like the Jar and my friend Allison and her boyfriend. Not once did I look at my phone to see what time it was because I was having so much fun and did not want the night to end! We spent the next few hours laughing hysterically, taking photos, and enjoying the night and atmosphere...(FMGM!)
