Recap:CapFabb Blogger Meetup at Urban Chic

This past Tuesday, I attended another CapFabb Meetup. This time at Urban Chic in Georgetown. Attendees sipped wine, and endulged in a great selection of cheese, crackers and fruit, (got to keep it light lol) while chatting and networking with fellow bloggers. I ran into a bunch of familiar faces, and also met some new ladies. Not a large turn out this time around, but I had a good time none the less. Per usual I have a number of candid style shots for you guys. Check it out..

Recap: SnobSwap Launch at Tari Boutique

Ok, so let me begin with... I LOVE MY NEW JOB. I am currently working at Tari, a wonderful Consignment boutique in Georgetown DC, and its great! I really love small businesses in comparison to the whole corporate structure. Last Thursday night I had the pleasure of working the event, getting clothing out on the floor collecting emails lol, and of course networking and doing my best to get in some great photos for your you guys to see. As usual, a bunch of bits and pieces of fits that I loved.

Tell me about you: where are you from, how old are you?

I'm 31. Was born in a small town outside of Cleveland, but my heart
knew it found "home" when I moved to Chicago for law school.

What do you do?

I'm a patent attorney and currently work for a patent search firm.

When did you know that Fashion was something you were passionate
about?

This might sound silly, but I didn't realize it was something I
was passionate about until I started Accoutre. Prior to that, I've
been more interested in style, which is why I started making my own
bow ties... To create something individualized to suit my own style.

Photobucket

What has been your biggest accomplishment to date?

Graduating law school.

What advice do you have for others aspiring to do what you do?

Make sure you surround yourself with good people, friends who are
supportive. Trying to start your own business is a ton of work and
you're probably not going to sleep a lot.

Life quote: If there was one quote that summed up your view on life
what would it be?


I recently saw one that I think is perfect,  by Neale Donald Walsh:
"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone."

How can we stay connected with you?

I'm a big fan of twitter, @eliotpayne. Accoutre: @AccoutreMe,
www.Facebook.com/Accoutre, www.AccoutreMe.tumblr.com, and the store
