Shopping + DIY event with Dara Dot Designs + DesignHerCo |

On August 19th the exclusive shopping and DIY event was held at the DesignHerCo studio. Thanks to everyone that came out it was such a fun time!!!

Dara had the studio all prepped for us to make our own bracelets. She’s such a great teacher, she showed us how to do everything step by step and went around to help those of us (me!) who were DIY challenged.

Some of the ladies getting ready for our lesson. I got Petite Pear Style’s attention which is why she’s looking right at the camera LOL!

My friend E’s lovely finished product.

Ashley and Laura – so proud!

We also got to shop the Dara Dot Designs collection

Loved that we were trying on all the scarves and playing with different ways to wear them! It helped that Dara was guiding us!

The event was a huge success and SO much fun! I love hanging out with fellow bloggers, readers and friends in a really casual and intimate setting like this one. You actually get to chat with people! Many of you expressed interest in coming over twitter and email but couldn’t make it out – hopefully we’ll get to do another event like this soon!

Huge thanks to everyone that came out and especially to Dara for opening up her space to us. You MUST check the DesignHerCo studio especially since the Fall sessions are open for sign up now!
