In the midst of Christmas shopping, I decided to pop into Forever 21 to see if I could find a dress for my Secret Santa Brunch (read about the party here!). I saw this beautifully vibrant red polka-dot wrap dress for $17 and fell in love! I couldn't believe I found such a festive dress at such a killer price! 

Shopping has always been a hobby of mine! Growing up, I would love to go to Nordstrom or even thrift stores to scour the racks to find new, cute pieces. While shopping is fun, it can definitely get expensive! 

Anytime a group of like spirited individuals comes together, it's empowering. That's exactly how I felt after leaving Saturday's Seattle Style Summit put on by Gossip & Glamour. A room full of 100+ Seattle bloggers who were all there to learn, laugh, take photos and support each other. What a cool environment to be in as a new blogger!
