Hello coco+kelley readers - it's your NYC correspondent
Crissie - and today I have a very exciting event to share with you! Many of you know that last Thursday was
Martha Stewart Living and Omnimedia's
Bloggers' Night Out, and I was lucky enough to be invited to cover the event for Cassandra.
The evening was supposed to take place on roof deck of the Martha Stewart building however - in true summer form - Manhattan blessed us with high winds
(and high HEAT) so we were moved inside
(no complaints here as there was a/c!).
When I arrived, Martha was playing Ping-Pong with
Kevin Sharkey (Senior VP, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc)...
And then addressed the assembled bloggers
(here's a video of her talking about turning your blog into a business) before she had to rush off
(her dentist was coming to dinner…) The event was beautifully styled with craft tables, wedding vignettes...
And
delicious food and drinks.
It was amazing to have so many bloggers in one place. Sometimes I get so caught up in my little fashion niche that I forget about the other types bloggers out there - but the event was filled with Mom Bloggers
(and babies) Craft Bloggers, Wedding Bloggers, and Design Bloggers - it was everything you could imagine, and it was so enlightening to get to meet and talk with so many different people.
I spent the evening with Kelly of
High Street Market, Camilla of
High-Heel Foot in the Door, Deb of
Living Livelier and even got to chat with
Mr. Sharkey.
I wish you all could have been there. I highly recommend attending a blogger-meet-up near you if you have the opportunity
(don't be silly like me and forget blog-business cards…) I hope I get the chance to meet more of you soon!

What a fun night - would have loved to be in attendance! You looked adorable. Neat that MS was playing ping pong. I have also just picked up an idea for my next get together - s'mores! Never would have thought to have them ready to eat, great idea.
ReplyDeleteI had so much fun at the Martha party with you, Crissie! Let's do another party again soon. ;) Great recap!!!

ReplyDeleteChrissie - This looks like SO MUCH FUN!!! I am just kicking myself that ( as a newbie blogger) I live right outside of nyc and did not know about it until it was too late. You've inspired me to stay connected, attend the next one....and bring business cards! :)

oops...apologies for the misspelled name - I meant, Crissie!
ReplyDeleteHow did blogs get chosen to go? Was there an invitation? What an honor - congrats!!
ReplyDeleteCrissie what a fun event and your pictures are fantastic! Would love to meet up when I am in NYC the end of Sept!
ReplyDeleteladies, this event happened to be by invitation, or i would have spread the word for sure! but there are plenty of opportunities to turn any event into a 'bloggers' event just by networking with your fellow favorites and putting something together!
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting event to attend. Martha looks lovley as always and the spread looks incredible!
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky. And pretty. And I am so jealous.
