Guest Post: Margo from Classroom Couture

Hello, and happy Monday House of Jeffers readers! I'm Margo from Classroom Couture, where I blog about my personal style inside and outside of the classroom. I was honored and thrilled when my fellow Jersey Girl, Jen asked me to guest post for her. She has a great sense of style that matches her great sense of humor.

Since school is finally out for summer, I decided to share with you my typical summer look. For me, looking your best is all about being comfortable in what you are wearing {which can be a challenge on a 90 degree, 100% humidity, typical NJ summer day}. I'd describe my style as classic with a hint of prep and glam. I like to keep in simple and chic with minimal accessories and of course the occasional statement necklace. No muss, no fuss!

I am all about patterns and brights for summer and love mixing high end with low end pieces.

Thank you so much for having me and I hope you'll visit me over at Classroom Couture!

Match Made in Heaven

Did I match what I wore so Harley and I could be twinsies? No... because I could never outdo Harley in the cool department. Even if I am wearing Jeffery Campbell shoes and a new brown leather skirt.

The saying that dogs and their owners sometimes have similar personalities, I think, is true. While the resemblance between myself and Harley isn't quite there, I think he's my doggie match personality-wise.

He's a little nuts - I consider myself to be a reserved nut job with quirky tendencies. Our barks are most certainly bigger than our bites... but it's safe to not underestimate either in both cases. We love British anything. And, let's face it - we shiver when it's cold outside.

Match made in heaven.

For the weekend, I'm headed to Baltimore for a soccer tournament. Never been to Maryland, but I'm looking forward to visiting another state, and maybe doing some touristy things too. I hear there's a lot of art museums, and the Hippodrome is there, too, so perhaps I'll swing by.

Now... what to pack? Definitely need to bring some sparkle!

Outfit Details:

Striped Tunic worn as a top - H&M / Brown Faux Leather Skirt - Forever 21

Black Tights - Target / Jeffrey Campbell Evade shoes / Haute Under The Collar Necklace - c/o Sorrelli Jewelry / Leather Bow Bracelet - Henri Bendel

Links A La Mode: IFB Conference February 2013

New York Fashion Week in February officially kicked off last week, which means bloggers from across the U.S. flock to New York City to take in runway shows at Lincoln Center, and of course, mingle and connect with fellow bloggers. On Wednesday, February 6, I threw on my gold sequin pants and hopped on a train to attend the IFB Conference held at the Altman Building.

While IFBCon always as an entrepreneurial blogger spirit to it, this year's conference tackled issues that impact any blogger. From keys to social media success, to what brands want from bloggers and revenue streams (including affiliate marketing), the panels at the IFB Conference were chock full of industry big-wigs and uber admired bloggers such as Bag Snob's Tina Craig, Laura Ellner of On The Racks, Aimee Song of Song Of Style and my personal favorite blogger misfits who've made a name for themselves with their unique sense of self - UK's Susie Lau of Style Bubble and the one and only, Man Repeller Leandra Medine.

But what I love most about the IFB Conference is how it brings other bloggers together. I've had the chance to make friends with bloggers who I'm so lucky to still call my friends today, and meet other people who I connect with beyond the computer. I don't get a chance to see some of my blogging besties often, but when I do, it truly reminds me of why I love being a part of the fashion blogging community.

Here's some of my favorite moments and pictures from the IFB Conference February 2013!

Reunited... and it feels so good: One of my most favorite blogging buddies, Amanda of Fashionablee Me, and I mugging for the camera. Love this girl like whoa!

Fekkai and bareMinerals brought the glam to IFBCon. Bloggers sat back and let the experts give them a new do, or try out new makeup.

Great minds dress alike... Kelly of Kelly's Kloset, myself and Annie of The Fashion Poet were just some of the lucky winners who went home with Cambridge Satchels! Evidently, we all shop at Forever 21, too.

Lulu Frost creator/founder Lisa Salzer told the story of starting her own brand, and the measures she took to make her dreams become a reality. Her story resonated with me the most - Lisa's grandmother was a huge influence on her starting her jewelry business... The name "Lulu Frost" is a combination of Lisa's nickname, Lulu, and her grandmother's last name, Frost. My grandmother is my style icon, so hearing Lisa speak of how her grandmother inspired her was really touching.
