last night: Outlets At Orange Fall Tweetup

last night i had the pleasure of attending The Outlets at Orange Fall Tweetup event.

a group of OC social media influencers were invited to gather and get a look at the newest fall styles hitting The Outlets!

that's my tweet on the screen!

throughout the Tweetup we had fun shopping all the gorgeous new styles in each store, tasting delicious snacks from Sweets From Heaven, Doubletree (cookies!!), Corner Bakery, Jamba Juice -to name a few- and of course, tweeting!

here are some pictures from the event:
