the school of styling

i'm a little late, but i wanted to catch yal up on an event we were so excited about sponsoring last week - the school of styling, a 3 day workshop held in raleigh, hosted by kaitlin holland.  this was the first year of the school, so i didn't quite know what to expect, but i was literally blown away by the talented women teaching and participating in the event.  every detail was photo-worthy, as you can see by my unabridged account below.  caitlin flemming, alaina and danielle from the everygirl and natalie bowen were real ladybosses when it came teaching the ins and outs of how to make pretty, from styling a bookcase to setting up the perfect instagram shot, and setting a table that's sure to make em ohh and ahh to honing calligraphy that's invite-worthy.

we had the pleasure of welcoming the students and speakers to town with a cocktail party at the store, complete with champs and complimentary manicures from our favorite nail guru at nail yeah.

take a peek at some of the outtakes, and hopefully find some inspiration from the gorgeous table settings the students created during a styling session taught by cailtin (bet you can pick mine out!).  sit tight - there's a lot of eye candy to take in.
