PC Moment: Keynote speaker Elizabeth Chambers Hammer— a multi-tasking mom, Bird Bakery founder, TV personality and the wife of actor Armie Hammer — was the highlight of an afternoon that was chock full of inspiration and wisdom for twentysomethings, thirtysomethings and even a few older femmes.

More than 300 aspiring influencers piled into the velvet-roped confines to sip Veuve Clicquot from splits, put their tresses in the hands of talents from Toni & Guy and to sample the makeup wizardry of Bobbi Brown experts. And, oh, the selfies taken in front of the Create & Cultivate signature flower wall!

Among the pros sharing their secrets to fabulous personal presentation were Los Angeles-based makeup artist and vlogger Sona Gasparian, beauty blogger Courtney Kerr, Dallas-based fashion and lifestyle blogger Stephanie Taylor Jackson, and Houston’s favorite blogger and color-driven style influencer Carrie Colbert.

Who: Bloggers, stylistas, fashionistas and aspirationals.
