triFABB + Poppy Holiday Party, [GIVEAWAY] from Penelope Lane Clothing, + #YOLOmondays Link-Up!
It’s December which means it’s the month of giving! And so I’ve got a lot of great giveaways planned for this month! In that spirit, you’ve got one more day to enter to win an “Believes in Love” shirt from Mingo Ink!

The first annual triFABB & Poppy Magazine Holiday Party was this past Saturday at Clothes Hound in Raleigh! We had a blast. I’ll share just a little recap with you, but if you want to see more awesome photos, you can check them out here.
If you’re here for the giveaway or #YOLOmondays, just scroll down. 🙂
Here’s what I wore “at” the party. Now, I borrowed this outfit for the night, which is why I say I didn’t wear this TO the party. Although after wearing it all night I am saying that I reaaaaaallly wanted this dress. Like, badly. So badly.

Goodie bags with awesome swag courtesy of Fawn & Flora, Passionfruit Ads, and more!Sara & Lindsay from Poppy Magazine and me and Brooke from triFABB.Me and Brooke 🙂Me and Lindsay.I don’t think I can accurately express how excited I was to finally meet Ashley from Dancing With Ashley!

It’s too hilarious.All the party attendees:I was also really excited that we collected items for Project SOS and I was able to talk a little about it at the party.

+++ OKAY, PHEW! That’s a lot of stuff. NOW it is time for the #YOLOmondays LINK-UP with my awesome co-host Carly from Lipgloss & Crayons! We had 106 AMAZING bloggers link up last week and I could not be more excited to “meet” you guys and I LOVE seeing how y’all mingle with each other! If this is your first time here, #YOLOmondays is a chance for us to link up anything we want (as long as it’s a blog post…). You know, cause it’s Monday, and what better way to jazz up your mundane Monday than to link up and meet some new bloggers?
Also, #YOLO stands for You Only Live Once. Inquiring minds wanted to know.
Carly and I love seeing y’all linked up every week! The Rules for #YOLOMONDAYS Link-Ups:
-
- Follow your hosts Molly @ still being [molly] and Carly at Lipgloss & Crayons!
- Grab a button and / or post a link back here in your BLOG POST (NOT your blog’s main page) so your readers know what all the #YOLOMONDAY-ness is about. We love you guys linking up and we do go through and read all your posts… so if you do not give credit, we will have to remove your link. That’s no fun, right? Right. So be nice and share a link! Pretty please? 🙂
- Link your blog post up using the linky tool below! It can be ANYTHING! An outfit post, a giveaway, a story, a recipe, whatever. Why? Cause it’s #YOLOMONDAYS!
- Visit a blog or four that you’ve never been to before and leave a #YOLOMONDAYS comment – you never know, you might “meet” someone new that you will lurve!
- Have fun! Cause #YOLO!
I would totally get the “Crochet Lessons Top”. Polka dots and lace? Yes, please!

Sooo cute
I liked and all and love the cute as a button ring and the hot air balloon ring too! Cute place. Thanks for the giveaway!
I really like the grecian goddess dress
I love that dress, too, April! Thanks for entering!
Love the Afternoon Sunshine dress!! Thanks for the chance to win!! 🙂
Absolutely!! Thank you for entering, Jess!!
I already commented on this outfit on Instagram, I think, but wanted to say again how fab it is!! The colors of that dress are amazing! (I wish I lived in your area so I could be part of your tri fab group!!)
Those cupcakes looked delicious, and your party ensemble looked great.
I would say it is a toss up between the wild child dress, all hearts around tunic or the Fab and feminine blouse.
The party was so fun!!! I’m glad I got to see you again!
xo,
Angela
Great outfit! The lace sleeves is such a fun and feminine detail to the jacket!
That party looks like it was so much fun! I wish I lived a little closer so I could have been there, too. And your borrowed dress is amazeballs. Buy it now. 🙂
Also, I entered the giveaway and would definitely snap up the “Christmas in July” dress. It’s so cute, and you kind of can’t beat that name. Thanks so much for hosting, Molly!

I am so sad that I missed the party but it was my sisters birthday. Hopefully I can be at the next event!!
LOVE the lace sleeves on that jacket! So cute! 😉
Your hair looks so cute!! I vote this style. I liked the Veronica Corningstone, but this really suits you well. These parties that you host look like so much fun! And the peplum chevron shirt is really cute. I especially like it with the jeans.
I’m a first time YOLOer. You look great, Molly. I love your dress.
YAY! Thank you so much for linking up, Anne!!
This is going to sound so lame, but “what to wear” was one of the reasons I declined. I did have a conflict but was super stressed about what the heck to wear. I love all the variety.
aw sad, really?!?! we missed you, girl!!
I just entered the giveaway. I would get the Float Away Top!
Looks like a fun party. Your dress is super cute and I LOVE the monogrammed clutch!
Thanks for the lovely post & for hosting, & God bless!
You are so cuuute!! This event looked too fun, too!

I didn’t do it right the first time…color me embarrassed. 🙂
I LOVE the dress. It is so cute. It sounds like you had a fun filled weekend. I did what I do every Saturday, which is work at the barn and get my horsie time in and then I spent the rest of the weekend at parades taking pictures of a friend http://smhthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-path.html.
Loving the Skull it Over tank to wear to ECU games! I love all the pics from the TriFABB event. Wish I could have been there! Thanks for sharing the boutique – love that nothing is over $25!!
Oh and I would get that adorable peplum top. Love!
Those cupcakes really were delicious!
So glad I was able to meet you this past weekend. Looking forward to seeing you again soon! 🙂
yes! it was AMAZING finally getting to meet you! can’t wait to hang out again soon!!
This is such a cool pattern on the dress, but I LOVE that you paired it with this blazer! The blazer is so different and really visually interesting with the touch vest part and then the lacey sleeves. It looks amazing with the print of the dress. this looks like it was such a fun get together, I’m little jealous of the amazing blogging community that you all have down there, it looks like so much fun!
I just love the outfit you wore to that party! The pattern and colours of that dress are amazing. And those cupcakes look amazing, now I’m craving some 🙂
