The past few weeks I have been gearing up for my first Simply Stylist Conference. I was beyond excited, thrilled to say the least. This experience as going to be so game changing for me. It was going to put me in a setting with people who have a similar mindset and career goals as I do.
What I would take away from this event would be priceless. Founder Sarah Boyd knew exactly what the industry needed when she created Simply Stylist. This event is geared towards bloggers, designers, brand owners, stylist and simply any entrepreneur who is looking to be inspired to continue building their empire.
Hosted by Catt Sadler of E! News, there was no shortage of amazing in the building. Interviews with some of the industries top experts and bloggers, there was no stone left unturned.
The day started with a VIP brunch, followed by a panel of style experts & fashion Icons.
I thought this picture was so ironic and true to the everyday life of a women. Catt Sadler & keynote speaker Jamie Chung doing the infamous tuck while Jamie shared her journey and gives some deets on her new blog whatthechung. She gave some amazing insight on her thoughts on blogging and how she doesn't take too serious, the most important thing is to love what you do.
The other keynote speaker Joe Zee was a bottle of energy and he definitely passed it on to everyone in the room. Joe Zee shared how he has maintained longevity in the fashion industry and he plans to continue to do what he loves until it is no longer fun. Joe Zee is now taking on the digital world by joining Yahoo to launch Yahoo mail. Listening to Joe Zee's story I felt like I went along with him on every adventure the fashion world could take him. It was interesting to learn that Zee had nay sayers early in his career, one person telling him he would never work for a magazine. Joe Zee has broken barriers in the fashion world and it was a life changing experience to her him tell about it.
The day did not end with those 2 iconic keynote speakers, the day was power packed with so many amazing people, pictured below are just a few of the people that shared their journey with us.

This event was absolutely amazing and I will definitely be attending next year. I would love to go to a different city, since it is held in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. The things you will learn at this event will stay with you for a life time. I would also recommend you have the VIP experience, you will not regret it. Sarah Boyd made sure all attendees left knowing that they had just made a smart investment in their future.
VIP attendees walked away with some amazing gift bags, I mean what more can a girl ask for?
