conference events life workshop

Simply Stylist Chicago.
 I'm sooooo glad that I had the opportunity to check out the Simply Stylist Chicago event at the Dana Hotel and Spa on Saturday! Simply Stylist hosts an all day fashion & beauty conference in several cities, giving women the opportunity to learn, network and connect. I chose the Social Butterfly package, which was just the afternoon portion. During this time, I had the opportunity to enjoy food/desert goodies, hair/makeup/nails by TheGlamApp, massages, a fashion illustrator and some amazing informational breakout sessions featuring fashion and beauty industry professionals. I was also able to meet and connect with other professionally dedicated women, from other Chicago bloggers to hair and makeup stylists!

Though I love a great massage, I would have to say that my favorite part of the day was listening to the speakers during the breakout sessions. From "The Business of Influence" to "Don't Just Be A Boss, Be A Brand", it's hard to choose which one I loved more. I get super inspired while listening to people share tips and speak about their career journeys, so I felt even more motivated after I left the event!

If you're interested in fashion or beauty, and Simply Stylist is scheduled to come to your city...you should not miss out on this! Learn more here.
