iFABBO held their first social media conference in San Francisco on October 12, 2013. This amazing conference featured panelists who discussed the business of blogging which included monetization, social media strategies and the future of blogging. The conference also introduced beauty and fashion brands to local bloggers. We had the opportunity to check out beauty products and apparel in person while speaking with brand representatives who could answer our questions and offer product samples for review.

Of course the day was not just about business! It was amazing to meet other local beauty and fashion bloggers as well as reconnect with bloggers whom I have met in the past both in-person and online. I loved making new friends while learning more about the business and future of blogging!

Over the weekend we took the kids to a local fundraising carnival. It was really fun to go on the Ferris Wheel and watch the kids go on so many rides and inside of the bouncy house. We were at the carnival for several hours so I was really happy to be wearing a comfortable pair of biker boots.

I love the biker boot trend this fall. Biker boots offer a small heel and an edgy style which spices up a casual outfit; yet allows a certain level of comfort. Love that! These biker boots have definitely been my fall 2013 “go-to” item. What is your “go-to” item(s) this autumn season?
