A WEEKEND WITH INTERNATIONAL STYLE INSTITUTE

25 Oct

Wow what a weekend! As I start off my week, I must say I am more inspired than ever. Why? Well, I was lucky to be one of the many bloggers in attendance for part of the International Style Institute’s 3 day content creation course here at The Grove in LA! The entire weekend was filled with gems of wisdom on topics like branding yourself on social media, monetizing your content, fashion and food photography, and blogging in a competitive industry. Hats off to the lovely co-founders of the International Style Institute- renowned celebrity stylist Anita Patrickson and Simply Stylist founder Sarah Boyd. Not only did these ladies host a fun filled weekend, but they also held their own panels on styling trends and tips and owning your own digital business. Other panels led by top industry experts like Olivia Culpo and Louise Roe, allowed attendees to get a behind the scenes view on what it takes to build a successful online presence.
