In case you didn't know, Blogfest 2011 was a huge hit!
Many of our favorite bloggers, designers, and friends traveled to the big apple for a whirlwind tour of the New York City interior design scene.
Some may have even hitched a ride from Brimfield!
The fabulous New York hostess and author of Nest, Tamara Matthews Stephenson kicked things off with A Walk In Central Park before Blogfest festivities began!
There were great educational events. I bet they took lots of notes!
Editors-in-Chief from several of the top design and lifestyle magazines:
Architectural Digest, ELLE DECOR, House Beautiful, New York Spaces, Town&Country, Traditional Home, and VERANDA...
There were parties hosted by A-list designers.
Tours of the New York Design Center.
Tours of the Kravet and Lee Jofa design studio, and so much more. 
They rubbed elbows with top editors, 
design idols,
and friends from across the country.
They were inspired by each other & all that New York City had to offer!
Blogfest said that this three-day trip will leave you breathless. I'm planning on it next year!
For now, I'll be checking in with a few friends who attended.
They are a fantastic group who are multi-talented & multi-tasking so I'm guaranteed to get the latest & greatest from them via twitter, facebook, and their fabulous blogs below! I hope you'll visit them too!
Hope y'all are having a ball!

Love this post....Lisa!! Great job.....so creative and such eye candy. I was definitely taking some serious notes as I was scrolling down, my poor little wrist was feeling a bit neglected after seeing all those decked out ones!! So great looking, so many fabulous and chic looks....you really captured the essence of both the city and the vibe of what I am sure will be a gathering of fashionistas, editors, and bloginistas looking their best! I am enjoying getting the reports (and pictures) and have to admit I am a wee bit jealous...but found out about it too late, being new to blogging. Though I couldnt' have gone anyway, had prior commitments...for sure next time around!! Great post (as usual)
ReplyDeleteOk...we start saving now right? What a blast these creatives are going to have. Love all the wrist baubles!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just know Tamara had all those that joined her on a fabulous trek around Central Park?
Fun times for sure.

I wonder how you can out do yourself in the creativity dept. but yet you always do. 'In the wrists' is so very clever and all the pictures are perfect. I want to be the older woman with the well-worn hands with the Chanel bag; but I am the gal with the large gold watch and gold bracelets wishing I was facebooking and tweeting from Blogfest. It wasn't until today that I took the time to realize how much I wish I could of gone and with all you ladies.
ReplyDeletePerfect x100 post Miss Lisa! xo xo
I am pulling out all my bangles
ReplyDeleteand gathering all my bloggers
for a fabulous trip next year!
Sounds and looks like everyone
of them are having a wonderful time.
Thanks to BlogFest and hosts,
it appears to be an inspiring and
informative event for everyone involved!

ReplyDeleteHi little augury,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. As noted at the bottom of the post, all photos are via tumblr and were chosen by me for visual purposes only for my post. None of these "wrists" are actually from Blogfest 2011. Hope to see you there next year!
