Create & Cultivate, Seattle: A conference for women, by women

Over the weekend, I went to a conference for female creative entrepreneurs called Create & Cultivate. There were bossladies everywhere, and nonstop gorgeous interactive booths by amazing brands. I went with my friend and fellow blogger Sam Song Seeking.

The conference itself was pretty straight forward: there were panels, keynote speakers, and breakout groups. It's really the Instagram-able aesthetic and female-focused energy that made this event stand out.

My favorite panel by far was titled Radically Creative, and included the woman behind Geronimo Balloons, the creator of Studio DIY, the daughter of Robin Williams (apparently she's a horror screen writer!), and professionals from Wedding Wire and Refinery29. They spoke candidly about how they found their calling, not being afraid to push for what you want, and learning how to turn "no's" into "yes's."

Other highlights were a breakout session with Gaby of What's Gaby Cooking, a gorgeous flower wall photo booth by LaCroix, and an amazing styling bar hosted by Marajo.
