{event} dish on fashion…
last week i was invited to attended a Dish on Fashion, which is a series where a group of ten fashion bloggers get together every other month at a local restaurant to of course, Dish on Fashion.
the spot chosen for the evening was mindy’s hot chocolate and there were some really cool women in attendance. we laughed, ate, drank and had a really fun time.
on hand was Raijean of Swa-Rai, Shae of Vanilla Fringe, Melissa of Stylissh, Mary from Zeagalicious, and the founders of Dish on Fashion, Nicki of Fashionista Chicago, Katie of KS Style Consulting and Katie of NowYouKnow.
