Style Vancouver

Blogger Picnic

June 3, 2011

Last Sunday I met up with some super cool Vancouver bloggers at Stanley Park. The weather actually cooperated, and we were all able to have a picnic in the park avec sunshine!

Our afternoon included the lovely:

Cara of a fashion love affair
Cee of coco and vera
Mina the faboulista
Louise of fifth sparrow
Veronika of girl and closet
Alex of to vogue or bust

If you don’t know these girls already, then it’s time to get acquainted. They are all so wonderful and unique, it’s so special getting to meet them in person! We spent the day sharing stories, eating brownies, and talking fashion. Somehow, out of the entire park, we chose the coldest spot in Vancouver. We were all shivering and covered in goosebumps. Blouse ruffles and skirt hems were flying around (I happened to be wearing both) and yet all of us were trying to be troopers. When Adam met up with us to take some photos, he was sweating and sun burnt. He told us how hot it was and how we must have found the windiest/coldest location. Sure enough, we took a few steps away from the water, and it was boiling hot!! So silly of us, but really funny when I think back to it.

A big thank you to Adam for being patient and taking so many pictures of us. I doubt he realized when we started dating that basic photography skills was a prerequisite.

If you haven’t already had blogger meet ups in your city, I highly suggest it! You may think you’re the only person in your town with a blog, but you’d be surprised how many bloggers there are around. It’s so great to meet and bond with people who understand the crazy world of blogging, so get out there and start researching and planning meet ups! It’s good for the soul 🙂

    Okay, I just have to say it again… The highlighter shirt was absolutely amazing, flying ruffles or not 🙂 We should probably choose a less windy spot to assemble next time, of course, but it was still so lovely to see you again- and the fact that there was actually sun was an added bonus! Your photos turned out amazingly well, too. The group shots are just adorable!

    Aww these look great! I had SO much fun, it's was amazing how I felt like I knew you guys already! And I love that you're just as sweet in person as you are on your blog, it was such a treat to put the face to the blog!
    And your photos turned out so well, I love the group shot! Though I did laugh out loud (in a coffee shop too!) when I saw the photo of me, I look bored!! Which was most definitely not the case!
    Can't wait for the next meet up! xx
