City Eats & A Blogger Meet-up... Part Two

May 2, 2011

{TOP: DYNAMITE, BELT & SKIRT: MODCLOTH, TIGHTS: MODCLOTH, SHOES: JOE FRESH}

It’s official, I love doing blogger meet ups! I was so excited that the gals wanted to do a follow up to our first. I was also thrilled to know that we were adding a new face to the group, the gorgeous Alicia of “Alicia Fashionsita.” I’m a devoted reader of her blog and I was so ecstatic to meet her. In addition to Alicia, I met up with the original three lovelies... Alexandra of “To Vouge or Bust,” Cee of “Coco & Vera,” and last but not least, Lynn of “Hearted Girl.”

We met up last weekend at the funky Chill Winston in Gastown, where we enjoyed fabulous vegetarian appetizers along with some equally yummy wine. Our conversations flowed freely as we chatted about blogging, relationships, fashion, and our beautiful city. It’s amazing to think that we have become such quick friends.

After lunch, we headed out into the streets of Gastown and did what we do best: wave our cameras, laugh, pose, and take some snaps. My husband came down to meet us and patiently took group shots with each girl's camera. Can you say sweetheart?! Needless to say, there will be a part three and I’m already counting down the days... xx veronika

  18. Aw, Veronika, you always have the best shots of all! It's such fun to be able to relive our afternoon outing, especially on a dreary Monday morning when I really ought to be peering reviewing my staff's data entry and not reading fashion blogs :) It's always wonderful to spend an afternoon with you girls- you're right, it really is amazing how we've all become such fast friends and I can't wait until we get together again!

    Have a wonderful week :)

  37. 1. I miss Vancouver!
    2. I love seeing these photos of you guys dressed up in Vancouver. That was always what drove me nuts about vancouver; if I went out for dinner, or to a party or a club I was always the most dressed up. In Sydney, girls wear heels everywhere they go and everyone dresses up to go out.
    3. Your husband is a very kind man.

I've been before but haven't really done any shopping...any tips?? I've been to downtown like once (my friends live in Pacific Beach and Ocean Beach and clike to stay in their respective areas, ha). But I'm wondering if there's any amazing and unique shopping? LEt me know if you have any tips!!

    And your top outfit is so cute and quirky - what a great mix of pieces.

    xo, Ashley

  69. Love all the patterns you got going on. I need to start practicing that more because it really makes for the most pretty and unique style!

    Why does Canada have to be so big?! It's be awesome to have a whole Canadian blogger meet up!

  70. I'm such a dummy! I read "Gastown" and asap thought of San Diego, but then I was reading another blog, I thought to myself...wait a second, I'm pretty sure Veronika lives in Canada...I'm having such a blond day. Forgive me!!

  85. That skirt is gorgeous! The way you styled it really brought out the beautiful pattern and the bright colors. It was so daring to wear textured tights, too, and I think it worked perfectly, complementing and highlighting the skirt while also tying in with the belt. Such a pretty, creative outfit! It was also lovely to see the photos from your meet- up, too; it looks like it was a lot of fun!! x

  90. First, I don't know whether to gush about the skirt or the pattern tights. Second, blogger meet ups sound amazing. Maybe someday people will want to meet with me. Until then, I'll just enjoy hearing about other peoples'. (:

You all look absolutely lovely and it really looks like so much fun and I'd love to join you girls for a meet up one of these days! I heard you're planning to get together at the end of May and I'll unfortunately (or fortunately :p) be in Europe. But please count me in for anything following! :)

  98. omgeeee! so i saw this earlier in the week but b/c of the life change with new job and all i wasn't able to wade through it in my own sweet time and take it all in to leave a justified comment and didn't just wanna leave a sad little "YAH!" oh the horror ; )

    now the time is here and i can tell you this, i wholeheartedly agree with Cee about your photos being the best in the bunch! not only are the ones of us really awesome but the outfit ones are to be celebrated and cheered. i get in such a flurry when i'm with you girls that paying attention to the certain ensemble nuances passes me by. but now looking with still eyes i can take it all in, damn hell girl that is one cleverly assembled look. patterned tights appeal to me any day of the week but somehow you always give a fresh take and one that inspires me for more mixing.

    i want to go now and pull out my whole stocking drawer to try and replicate a look this swell! it's perfect but doesn't look hassled over, know what i mean?

    what you wrote matches the day to a t! can't wait till picnic time with even more girlies to be blessed by. xo ♥

    pea ess: what you wrote me about Martin checking out my blog was so rad! he is the coolest, truly!!

  101. wow, what an amazingly dressed AND gorgeous group of ladies! At first glance I thought the last picture on the right was some kid of creature instead of a jacket. maybe this is what happens when I'm cooped up in an office all day haha. I hope to attend a blogger metup someday.
