The highlight of BlogHer 2011 for me was hands-down participating in a Moms Fashion File makeover in their Secret Style Suite. I trusted Nicole at @momtrends to host something fabulous, and she teamed up with @savvysassymoms and @sassymomchicago to create a glamorous day of beauty and fashion for 12 lucky bloggers.
I've sifted through the photos from the makeover event and am pinching myself that I was actually a part of it. The Moms Fashion File team pampered us with treats - both edible and wearable. :-) A huge thank you to the sponsors behind the makeovers and party:
Johnson's Baby and make-up artist extraordinaire Tia Dantzler
Scotch Naturals and Ginny for the manicure
Trop50 and their charity partner Dress for Success
Here's a look at my fairytale experience - from my arrival to the Secret Style Suite at the Hard Rock Hotel - to my unveiling on the pink carpet at the Secret Style Suite rooftop party.
Me, before my fancy stylin' session:

Hmm....what to do with my hair?
No, really...what should we do with my hair??
