On my way home from fashion week, I flew into Chicago and Brett picked me up to take me home. I knew Elsie and Rachel from Red Velvet would be in town for the Renegade Craft Fair, so I had to make a pit stop to see them! I was so excited when I saw their booth! It was so fun to see all of the cute dresses, accessories, clutches and paintings I see online all the time. Plus, they were both the sweetest and I absolutely loved getting the chance to finally meet them.
Brett and I loved the Renegade Craft Fair. It was the first one we've ever been to and everything was amazing. Brett loved all of the screen printing booths - t-shirts, bags, everything! We were so amazed at this "young people" version of a craft fair. I wonder if when we're old the craft fairs will all be like this one!
I also got a really cute dress, clutch and turban from Red Velvet to pass around to the girls in the Delightful Dozen. I'm so excited to see how the girls will style them up. I'm honestly so inspired by Elsie and Rachel (and the whole Red Velvet team!) They are so accomplished and work so hard to make their goals and dreams a reality! Brett was laughing because I was so over the moon to see them. My next goal is to make it to the shop in Springfield, MO!

loved this! i used to live in chicago and went to renegade while i was there. this made me miss chicago and wish i was still living there! great pics :)
I don't think there isn't a blogger out there who isn't inspired by those girls! I'm really excited to see the dress & turban do the rounds in the Delightful Dozen ...
P.S. Brett's hair is looking might fine lately :)

I used to live a block from where those photos are taken. It's my first year not living in Chicago and I wasn't able to make it up for the Renegade Craft Fair this year - so sad! I am very glad you enjoyed it.

I am so jealous! This sounds awesome. Also, I totally agree with all of the Red Velvet Girls inspiring me, especially Elsie, her blog has been so on point lately, with the best tutorials, recipes, and just about everything!

That craft fair sounds fantastic...I'm such a fan of artsy things, and not to mention also a fan of Red Velvet, Elsie, and Rachel! I would've LOVED to see you all there. :)
So cute! I should have gone to this, but oh well. I'm going to have a booth at a craft fair in November, so I hope it's at least half as cool as this one!
Lovely ladies. =)
you girls look adorable!
I was there from Oklahoma helping my friend, Gleeful Peacock, with her booth all weekend and I thought I saw you but wasn't sure! Glad you were able to make it out...wasn't it amazing!?
You girls are all so inspiring to me! Yay for craft fairs!

That would be such a treat to meet the faces behind Red Velvet. I'm a fan of their blogs and as funny as it is I'd probably feel like I was meeting a celebrity. Haha
Hey, I was selling at Renegade. It was especially awesome this year.
A craft fair for young people sounds so awesome!! Looks like you had fun! Ooh, can't wait to see the goodies you picked up for the DD!

Aaww this looks like such a wonderful event, I wish we had something similar here! And the three of you look all so pretty and chic :)
I love this! How cool, you guys look like you had a blast :)
I checked the fair out in Brooklyn and I loved it! I wanted so much that it was overwhelming and I ended up with nothing...
I love craft fairs like this, there are some really great ones about!
Oh my gosh! Too much awesome in one post! I.. can't.. handle.. it! ;) I would love to meet Elsie and the Red Velvet team one day - and this fair sounds wonderful.
Ooo! What dress did you buy?! A vintage one or one from their line?! (I bought their blue velvet one, ee! So beautiful!)
Very cool! I saw the Red Velvet blog and store online yesterday for the first time. Very inspiring. Looks like you had a sweet time!

i was so happy i managed to make it to renegade! i live in chicago, but last year i was broke as a joke and had no time to go. but this year was so nice and i was so excited to finally make it there :)
I would love to go there sometime, and I understand that you felt so over the moon to meet them, they are such a huge inspiration! I think Elsie's blog is the first blog I started reading and that brought me into the whole 'blogger community'
Oh man, I love that dress! Definitely one of my favorites of yours (then again, I'm a sucker for anything polka dot)!

That is awesome! I would love to have met Elise and see all the goodies she brought from Red Velvet! Sweeeet!
Aw! I wish I'd have heard of Renegade beforehand! I totally would have dragged my mum down there to go! Glad you got to have fun, though. :D
The Red Velvet girls look so different in your pictures than they do on their site! I love that web-site, but it's nice to see them looking less posed.
oh my gosh it is one of my fall goals to go to a craft fair exactly like this. you look so dreamy and OH MY GOSH, i'd be exactly like you were, over the moon to see the red velvet team! ah!
