{outfit} LuckyFABB Day 1

LuckyFABB Day 1 was insane! We woke up at 6:45, got ready and headed off to the Times Center to wait in line. After we got in, there was some mingling before heading into the main room for our first panel: "How to Make it on your Own Terms" with Brandon Holley (Lucky) and Terry Lundgren (Macy's).  Next it was a panel with Lauren Sherman (Lucky,) Leandra Medine (Man Repeller,) Leah Chernikoff (Fashionista) and Annie Georgia Greenberg (Refinery29.)  Finally, we had a Google Analytics lesson from Raman Kia before a coffee break and checking out some booths.

After that we had the pleasure of listening to Rachel Zoe talk to Brandon Holley.  "The Next Wave" with Lauren Sherman, Steven Kolb (CFDA,) Mitch Grossback (CAA,) Shana Fisher (High Line Venture Partners) and Federico Marchetti (Yoox) talked about what is next for bloggers and how the industry is changing.  Next we heard from Susan Lyne (Gilt,) Lauren Bush Lauren (FEED,) Aliza Licht (DKNY) and Erica Domesek (P.S. I made this...) about Amplifying our Brands.

We then broke into some Breakout Sessions after lunch. I was sitting in on "How Do I Look?," a chat on how your blog looks to brands and "Developing Your Voice."  Everyone reconvened in the main conference room to hear Lauren Conrad. Finally we had the opportunity of listening to a chat between Simon Doonan (Barney's) and the lovely Anna Sui! That was the highlight of my experience.  After all the panels were complete, there was a cocktail party with munchies.

Lydia and I left soon after and headed back to our hotel to rest our feet. Then we quickly headed out for dinner (Chinese food) and some ice cream. Quite the busy day!  And, if you made it through all of that, here are some photos of my outfit!
