Texas Style Council - RECAP

This weekend I attended the Texas Style Council conference with Lauren of Make it a Double. TxSC is a conference designed to bring women bloggers, entrepreneurs, and brands together in the heart of Texas. All born from the hopeful mind of Indiana Adams, the hand behind Adored Austin, TxSC did not disappoint.
The entire weekend was packed full of informative sessions and fun events! To kick off the conference, LuLus.com put on a 'style swap' at a vacant boutique in the 2nd Street District. Saturday morning came early but we were both excited for the full day ahead.

Saturday night was the TxSC prom party where we visited with the different sponsors, perused pop-up shops, and snapped some really fun photos!
Up first on Sunday morning were keynote speakers, Elsie & Emma of A Beautiful Mess! These sisters are one of a kind - their message was super insightful and inspiring. It was so neat to hear from the duo that I so often read about. Followed by the keynote were more sessions...
