Instagram’s NC Bloggers – The Meet Up Edition

Hey loves,

I don’t know about you but Instagram is one of my favorite social networks and one of the best lately where you have the opportunity to make real connections and real friends.

Recently, at the #SWSRaleighBloggerEvent, I had the pleasure of meeting some of the people I’ve connected with through social media. It was a local blogger event giving bloggers a sneak peek of the Southern Women’s Show that took place in Raleigh, April 13 – 15. Today, I’d like to share these incredible ladies with you.

Come see NC through their eyes, follow along with them, comment on the photos you’ve enjoyed, or give them a treasured double tap. If they happen to ask how you found them, let them know you heard about them through @NCBloggerNetwork.

Here Are a Few of Instagram’s NC Bloggers I Had the Pleasure of Meeting

(In no particular order)

Tonight, we put in some work. – Bring in your laptops, to do list and meet @bburaleigh at @unscripteddurham for a work session. Still time to RSVP. Space is first come, first serve – #blkcreatives #meetup #accountabilityteam #durham #raleigh #ncblogger #thursdaymotivation

Meg Here and There

The Southern Women’s Show is happening this weekend. It opened today!! Last night I attended the preview and got to see the many vendors that are taking part in this annual event. There are MANY! Did I say that already??? Anyway, a little tough to capture in just a few photos the wide variety of things to see, do, and buy there, but besides the obvious things such as clothes, jewelry, & make-up, they’ll have Food Lion doing recipe demos, and handing out samples, Chevrolet will be giving test drives, there’ll be fashion shows, even a moving truck company will be on hand. Besides that… think home decor stuff, pet services, appliances, mattresses, landscaping, travel & tourism. Additionally, there will be some special guests appearing too. Check out the website for all the info. www.southernshows.com • 🎟🎟 • In just a bit I’ll do a ticket give-away on my InstaStories. 🧚‍♀️ 🧚‍♀️ 🧚‍♀️ @southernwomensshow #raleigh #southernwomensshow #annualevent #ToDoInRaleigh #wraloutandabout #outaboutnc #womensshow #statefairgrounds #allthevendors #visitraleigh #trianglenc #919 #meghereandthere #jimgrahambuilding #shopping #cooking #fashion #thesouth

The Perfected Mess

On the blog I’m going through a series called “Spring Essentials You Should Already Own”. Today we’re chatting about Part 2, which is all about denim and all the pieces I’m eyeing for Spring. Denim culottes seem to have made super lead way this year, which makes me very happy since I’ve been rocking them since last spring! I’ve got great priced denim + floral tops and bags all linked for you on the @liketoknow.it App, (if you need help using it, let me know!) but if you want extra deets, head to the blog to have a look around! . . . http://liketk.it/2v6VZ #liketkit #personalstyle #currentlywearing #ootdmagazine #bloggerstyle #ootdsubmit #stylesubmit #ootdwatch #raleighblogger #realoutfitgram #outfitinspo #springstyleinspo #igstyle #bloggerfashion #stylegram #lookoftheday #liketoknowit #huffpoststyle #huffpostfashion #styleinspo #scsister #stylecollective #scsisterlove #ootdwatch #flashesofdelight #huffpostlifestyle #style #styleguide #raleighnc #raleigh

Liz – Palmettos and Pineapples

Hey y’all! I am thrilled to announce that I joined the @stylecollective_ this week! I am super excited that this will provide resources to grow my blog and opportunities to connect with other bloggers! My goal is to encourage and inspire as many people as possible through sharing my passions, and I am confident that taking this step to join Style Collective will help me achieve this goal! Savannah of @theperfectedmess told me all about Style Collective when I met her at the @southernwomensshow blogger sneak peek party last week! Connecting with other bloggers was my favorite part about that event, and I am super stoked for all the networking opportunities I will now have as a Style Collective sister! I truly love how supportive & encouraging the blogger community is! 💗 . PS. For more details about my time at the Southern Women’s Show blogger sneak peek, check out the link in my bio! .

The NC Instagram Series

I hope you’ve enjoyed “Instagram’s NC Bloggers – The Meet Up Edition”, by far my favorite in regular series. Again, each post is hand-curated by me to showcase some of my favorite finds. It’s my hope that this series will introduce you to some new NC Bloggers, people, places, and businesses throughout our beloved North Carolina. I hope you’ll enjoy them as much as I do.

If you’re a North Carolina blogger on Instagram, be sure to tag your photos with #NCBlogger so other NC-based bloggers can discover you! And, if you’d like us to consider reposting some of your photos, be sure to tag us using the #NCBlogger hashtag.

Let’s connect on Instagram. I’d love to have you as a part of our community.
