I met up with Cee of Coco and Vera first and we were soon joined by Mina of Faboulista. After a brief yet shocking encounter with a “lady of the night”, Louise of Fifth Sparrow managed to make her way to us, as did Cara of a fashion love affair. I came up with the amazing (ridiculously corny) idea of us doing that famous Beatles shot of us crossing the street – pretty stupendous right? ….right?!
We then meandered over to Cobre Restaurant, one of my favourite spots in the city, and were joined by the lovely Lynn of hearted girl. The tapas at Cobre are out of this world, and given that these blogger meet-ups usually involve alcohol in one way or another, we of course indulged in several jugs of their delicious rosé sangria. I was so happy that Jen of Prairie Girl in the City and Melissa of Miss Melissa were able to join us later in the evening too – I’ve only met these girls a couple times, but both are so lovely and fun to be around. So happy that our blogger family here in Van is growing and developing, it’s really special that we’re not only able to form connections through our blogs but in our normal day-to-day lives as well.

Thank you to both Ian Lloyd (Cee’s wonderful husband) and Louise for the pictures!

everybody looks so gorgeous! I especially love everyone's shoes 🙂
The Beatles style photo idea definitely was stupendous… I love the way the photos turned out! But then I might be biased, considering how found I am of all of the gorgeous people in them. It was fabulous to see you as always, and to enjoy a couple of pitchers of sangria with you 🙂 And I love that necklace every time I see it, but always forget to ask, where on earth did you find something so unique? I must know.
xox,
Cee
PS: Coming to visit you at work ASAP 🙂

yahhhhhh! i have loved these shots of you girls and it sure was a great gathering. meeting new friends and catching up with you & Cee was awesome!!!!
i think the best part about the after shots is that i can actually admire everyone's outfits a big bunch. when we're all there i'm focusing on faces, expressions and stories so i don't catch all the fine elements each girl has got going on. it's rad to relive it here, you're all so beautiful. xoox ♥
the pictures of you girls crossing the street is so so cute! love it! and great blog by the way 🙂
ohh how fun love it!!! you all look stunning!! xx
