A week and a half ago I got together with some of my favourite (and very fashionable) ladies. Not only was our monthly clothing swap due, but incidentally, most of the ladies in our little blogger group have September birthdays. To celebrate both happy occasions, the wonderful Cee of Coco and Vera and her amazing husband Ian hosted a joint birthday party and swap at their place.
The lovely ladies in attendance: Veronika, Cara, moi, Lynn, Jen, Cee, Alicia, and Louise.
The beautiful birthday cake! Ian made this – what a guy.
Birthday girls with their birthday tiaras!
Not a siiiingle boyfriend.
The explosion of clothes pre-swap.
Of course, everything must be photographed. We’re bloggers after all.
Jen showing her pieces – I managed to nab her orange and white printed skirt, can’t wait to shoot it this weekend!
Pretty prints!
Alicia…so cute.

Alicia laughing at what was undoubtedly a hilarious joke by me.
Little known fact of the day: bloggers ♥ shoes.
Such a fun post, I always love our meet ups, you are always so fun to be around and have such wonderful photo ideas…it is so true that this is an amazing group of ladies, we are so lucky!

Yay! I adore you Alex, & how fab that we've all been able to meet via our blogs. And I agree such a sweet & supportive group. I'm so glad to belong to this fantastic blogging family. xo v
Aww what an extremely fashionable gathering for Vancouver!
I've been reading everyone's posts about our meet-up this week and all it gets me thinking is that we need to have another oh-so-soon. Our little blogger family really does feel like a family, only, you know, better, because we all chose each other 🙂 So glad we have you to be the girl with all the crazy photos ideas 😉
xox,
Cee
PS: I've finished with your H&M dress, so let me know when you have a little time to get together so I can give it back to you!
Haha – hump day. I totally agree with you that it sounds creepy, weird, dirty…
I love seeing all these posts about the blogger get-togethers! Looks like you girls had an amazing time, as always.

OMG I love us! This is so cute, Cee and Lynn both had amazing photos. Can't wait for our next swap, I agree with you that I feel so lucky to get to hang out with so many amazing and inspiring Vancouver bloggers 🙂 xo
mad love Alex!!!! it's super incredible to get to almost relive the day through our images. seeing them around on everyone's blogs makes me feel like i just wanna rewind the clock, it was a seriously outstanding day! i don't really know of another sort of circumstance that would bring about an immediate united front for girls. it's kinda like guys have their vid games or sports but how do we who love to blog come together? well, my answer came the moment i walked into that restaurant the 1st time we met. it's a rare thing to absolutely adore every person in a group but you're right! it definitely happened for us and man do i ever count those blessings! ♥
pea ess: hope the studying and school sitch is settling down more, thinking about ya lades. xoox
That looks like so much fun!
I love the photos,
you girls are all gorgeous.
Lovely shoes,

Awwwww! Too cute! I can't believe there's so many LOVELY Vancouver-based style bloggers! I'm one, too! I'm just now going to creep all the other blogs 🙂
Also… the photo with the shoes? GENIUS.
It is amazing the time and effort you put into your blog and detailed information that you provide. I'll mark your blog and visit every week to your new message.
