IFBcon (It was just a dream...)


It was only last year as I followed many fashion bloggers posting their experiences at IFBcon that I said I have to be there next time. But one major requirement of the invite was to have a fashion blog.  This was on my mind as a possibility to start but still anxious to do it. Much to say after many thoughts and research my blog arrived November 16, 2011 and it has been a dream ever since.

The IFBcon was everything and more I expected it to be. The atmosphere alone was unlike no other I've ever been in. Everyone was excited for their dreams, their accolades, their fashion, their joyous passion. I was just so thankful to be a part of that. Quite an experience that I will hold with me for a long time. I've come away with so many ideas and lessons that its mind blowing. Dreams can come true, you just have to be willing to go after it and I've vowed to do so.  

Below you'll see some bloggers in their element.

And a special hello also to the wonderfully poised 14 year old blogger I had the honor of sitting next to at the IFBcon.(I'm so sorry your name has slipped my memory) You're maturity speaks volumes. Its great to be so insightful at such a tender age. I know you use it well and I wish you all the best!
