Texas Style Council: Pics & Video!

Above: leading the Blogging 101 breakout session at the Texas Style Council Conference

Jennine delivering the keynote speech

HB and I sat in for one of Kendi & Bryan’s photography breakout sessions

Isn’t Kendi so fresh in this cobalt blue dress and mustard sweater?

Oh look, it’s me leading the Blogging 101 breakout session. It was a full house–I wanted to keep going but it was over before I knew it!

Here I look as clueless on the outside as I feel on the inside.

And here I am leading the Authenticity panel

Myself, Jen, Indiana, and James

Meeting and greeting readers, bloggers, followers, and fans. Y’all are so great!

…loved seeing familiar faces, like Caroline from Lucky, above!

A special shout-out to everyone who came up to this shy-ass girl and introduced yourself. My nerves and awkwardness thank you, very much.

I made a super short video of some of the clips we took on the way to and during the conference – hope you enjoy not hearing me speak, because the camera mic couldn’t pick our voices up very well from so far away in the audience (thanks for shooting it, HB!). So instead you get to listen to a spiffy techno remix of Teenage Dream from my computer. AND WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN THAT?!

P.S. – Outfit post to follow, duh.

The social bar above is my tip jar. Pin, Like, and Tweet if you please!

Love, Kristina

The back of my head/dress in the first photo on PSS has got to be the BEST thing I have seen this month – seriously!

I enjoyed hearing you speak and loved listening to your input/advice! You are definitely one of the best and I'm so glad I got to attend!

I had planned to go but my tonsillectomy held me back. You looked great and looked like a fabulous time!

I really wish I could have attended but commitments at work didn't allow it and the conference was the weekend immediately following Mardi Gras. Still I'm going to try my hardest to go next year, this looks like it is a very valuable and fun event!

Kristina – This looks like you had an amazing time and I am sure you did an excellent job moderating the panel and leading the break-out session. I'm hoping next year it will be repeated and I'll be able to attend. – Katy

PS Love the wide-leg jeans on you.

It was so good to meet you on Sunday, and you did a really great job of leading the panel. I really love that I got to meet so many other Houston bloggers while I was there!
