Ruffles, Bowties, And A Delightful Blogger Picnic...

Jun 6, 2011

{NECKLACE: C/O BRIDEBLU, TOP: MODCLOTH, JEANS: CITIZEN OF HUMANITY, SHOES: JOE FRESH}

Firstly, I'm in L-O-V-E with my new modcloth top! And how cute is my bow-tie necklace?! I absolutely adore fun & whimsical jewelry. I was SO thrilled to receive this sweet necklace from BrideBlu, one of my lovely sponsors. I've been wearing it non-stop, so prepare yourselves, you will be seeing this beauty often. And speaking of beauties?! I just went to my third blogger meet up -SO fun!!
What a delightful afternoon! The lovely Cee of Coco and Vera suggested that we do a blogger picnic in Stanley Park, which is a gorgeous 400 acre evergreen park and is well over 120 years old. We sat amidst stunning cedar, hemlock and fir trees -total bliss! We were too delighted to find a sweet ocean-side spot, where we ate cupcakes and gabbed non-stop. I surprisingly didn’t take as many pictures as I normally do. Sorry girls! Apparently, I was having too good of a time!
 
I truly love meeting up with these girls once a month. I spend so much of my “blogging life” making virtual connections, so it’s gratifying to actually connect with my bloggy peers, face-to-face. I’m thrilled to see that our group is quickly growing and that I have these sweet, intelligent and gorgeous gals in my life. We are already planning a fourth meet up; it’s kind of themed and most importantly, it will be a blast!! I’m certain that you guys will love it, so stay tuned...

From left to right, here are the Vancouver lovelies: Cara from A Fashion Love Affair, Alicia from aliciafashionista, Alexandra from To Vogue or Bust, Cee from Coco and Vera, Mina from Faboulista, and Louise from Fifth Sparrow.

Have a great day you guys. And also a big thank you for your sweet & thoughtful comments; they truly make my day. xx veronika

    The picnic part was probably the greatest idea ever. Such a lovely backdrop for all of your beautiful people! I seriously sounds like fun. (: Also, I'd be in love with that Modcloth top if I had it, too. I love the slight asymmetry with the black fabric!

    You fabulous bloggers had the greatest idea to come together! Sharing is what blogging is all about!

    You all look gorgeous but I am particularly smitten by this ModCloth top, it seems as though it was made for you! Suits you so well and somehow seems to represent your lovely personality :)

    The bow necklace is great too, I can see how it would go with everything and I don't lame you for wearing it all the time!

    I hope you have a lovely beginning to the week,

    where do i start? well how about this... i need to tune into your frequency, girl i’m a nut for beautifully designed photo shoots and you always show them here so well!

    i love your new top and sweet bow necklace from Cat (um, the bomb dot com); the whole look is an ultra feminine slick stream! and ola lovelies in the park. my goodness, i've seen the pics everyones posted so far and they all are fantastic but man veronika, your editing & composite skills are supreme.

    i think my fave is the 1st one of Cee (doll, if you're reading this, i'd consider taking that and removing the people in the background. it would make for an astounding about me page or a button for your blog....ah, possibly even a header accoutrement?)

    i can't wait for the next one, i really missed the boat on this and was saddest for days. sending loves to you, wonderful post. ♥

    How fun to have a regular meet up. I feel like I spend so much time getting to "know" people through their blogs and it'd be nice to actually meet them in person.

    PS - I'm new here, but I like what you've got going on! :)

    I never stop being impressed by your amazing photography skills, Veronika. You may not have taken as many pictures as usual at the blogger meet-up, but you still got the best shots by far. You're a star :) It was so lovely to see you again- I love that, without fail, we're always the first two to arrive and have just started to look for each other when we arrive! Your ruffled stop stole the show without a doubt- the contrasting layers of fabric are beyond gorgeous. Hope you're enjoying this sunny day!
