Did: IFB Dress Up Soiree, Sept.14th, 2009

sorry folks, i'm a little behind in posting about this, but last monday some friends and i dressed up and soiree'd on over to B'East for the 2nd annual IFB Dress Up Soiree. it was awesome!!! the first couple hours were dedicated to a panel discussion filled with juicy tidbits of info, insights and ideas on the future of blogging. then everyone promptly cashed in their drink tickets and began snapping photos like it was going out of style. these don't quite capture the fabulousness of the event and the warmth of each and every lady and gentleman in attendance. but take a look-see:
