Connecticut Bloggers Meetup

Before we get to the post, the winner of the Pixie Knitwear giveaway is comment number 29, Emily of Ruby Slipper Journeys!! Congrats!!! (I'll be emailing you soon with more details!) [a bunch of people entered after it was over :( )

UPDATE: Be sure to check out a feature/interview with me over at Walk of Fashion, I'm a Girl of the Blogosphere! :D

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

This past Saturday I went to my first ever blogger meetup!! I met with Lydia, Courtney, Amber and Nnenna!! We met up in New Haven and took some outfit photos around the Yale campus and then headed to Barcelona (a restaurant) to eat and talk about fashion and how Nnenna and I both hate cheese. The girls also had a lovely time trying to make me finish my whole glass of Sangria (I'm not much of a drinker.) Then we headed to a bar to talk a bit more before leaving to go home.  As Lydia said so perfectly in her post, we "[...] talked for hours with both the intimacy of old friends, and the awkwardness of meeting someone for the first time."

Here are some photos from the night, mine came out like garbage so I stole some from the other girls too ;) Make sure to check the other girl's blogs for more photos (Lydia, Nnenna and Courtney already posted!) I apparently didn't get the memo that everyone was dressing in black and white :p Click them to enlarge.
1, 2, 3, 8, 13, 14 by Lydia |  4, 5, 15 by me | 6, 7 by Courtney | 9 by Amber | 10, 11, 12 by Nnenna
And here are some more shots of me by Lydia and Courtney, click them to enlarge:
I'm wearing my Calvin Klein dress, Kenneth Cole Reaction belt, Mulberry for Target bag, Forever 21 turtle ring [similar by noir], Michael Kors watch and Burberry heels [similar pair by Burberry] and Marc by Marc Jacobs sunglasses!
