Vancouver Blogger Meet-up & An Outfit Post...

Apr 4, 2011

{JACKET: THRIFTED, TOP: MODCLOTH, JEANS: CITIZEN OF HUMANITY, SHOES: JOE FRESH}

Hey guys! So, I just went to my first blogger meet-up last weekend.  Yay, what a super fun day! I met up with Lynn of "Hearted Girl," Cee of "Coco & Vera," and Alexandra of "To Vogue Or Bust." I met the girls on a lovely Sunday afternoon at Central Bistro, where we enjoyed wine and loads of bloggy chats. It’s safe to say that we got along famously, because we stayed for about 4.5 hours. I was so impressed by how down to earth and talented these gals were -and how stylish they looked!

I was equally enamored by the lovely bistro. It was warm & charming, featured over-sized chandeliers, dark beams, and large windows. Ahhh, a truly perfect afternoon!

As for the outfit? I wore my usual Sunday uniform: a mix of  something thrifted (jacket), and ModCloth goodness (bow tie tank). I'm thrilled with how the pictures turned out. After we wrapped up at the bistro, we headed down to the beach and enjoyed some gorgeous pre-sunset light. Taking pictures was a blast; a more snap-happy group of girls you have yet to see. I officially adore these ladies -can’t wait to do it again! xx veronika

  14. Veronika, you could knock me over with a feather right now b/c i feel like i'm floating on air!!! this post is dynamite, truly explosive sensations going on inside remembering our wondrous day. i'm just honored to be included on your blog and on that day, it was the best time!

    LOVE your photos, there is such a warm light surrounding us all...i think it's due to your magnificent sharp shooter skillz and perhaps a little inside glow we all were feeling too.

    bloody brilliant city casual outfit, i think modcloth should let you in on shares soon. everything you put on from them results in a domino effect for their sales i'm sure. i'm crazy about this whole post! (i think the links might be jumbled though, when i hovered over Cee and Alex's ones it showed as my blog, maybz see if that's right?)

    can't wait till next time and gonna swipe a few of those pics now, they are SO good! xoox ♥

  15. wow it looks like you had a lot of fun. I love the photos as well, beautiful. :) .

  28. You are a true talent, Veronika. I love all the photos from our Sunday afternoon meeting, but yours are by far the most lovely and telling. The way you captured the afternoon light is just gorgeous. (And I'm not going to lie, there was something just slightly thrilling about seeing your signature font on the photos. I love it!) I was chatting with Lynn about the possibility of getting together again at the end of April... Thoughts?

I'd always thought I had already discovered all of Vancouver's fashion blogs and then the three of yours popped up. I absolutely love yours-- your style is adorable and I <3 the whimsical descriptions on your photos! Can't wait to see your blog continue you grow (how fast it has been growing!)

    Happy Monday!

  90. you should get the pair on shopbop! i got the dark brown ones (in my pic) but they had the most beautifffulllllll grey pair. i went brown b/c i already have greyish fringed boots. heads up though: i normally wear an 8 in jeffrey campbell, bought them in an 8, and they're slightly too big. nothing an insert won't fix though :)

    ReplyDelete
  91. Very fun! I speak from experience when I say that blogger meet-ups are the best! You just skip the awkward and go straight to the ribbing. It's weirdly natural!
