Renegade Blogger Meet Up was a blast; it was awesome to see my concept of a casual hang-out for bloggers come together. I definitely owe a big thank you to Jessica and Erin for jumping on board and helping me figure out the details--and thanks to everyone who showed up as well! I definitely want to organize and plan another one next year too!
Yaneldys was a real sweetheart and brought homemade red velvet cupcakes for everyone (I had two!). People filtered in and out; we had several International bloggers drop by, definitely a lot of cool New Yorkers, and some of the Delightful Dozen ladies were in attendance. Even with the crowd I think I managed to not be too awkward--although I of course introduced myself to people I knew and who knew me. I don't know why I'm always saying "hi, my name is..." when someone I actually know walks up, but I am a frequent offender!
I think my favorite part of the meet-up was towards the end as the group dwindled and I felt less pressure as "host" to float around. Then it was just relaxing on the grass with Erin, Emily, Hannah, and Landon. It was such a nice, relaxing time and makes me wish I hadn't left when I did to throw myself into the madness of Fashion Night Out. I think if visit New York for fashion week again I'll focus more on low-key events and people I want to hang-out with rather than all the hyped-up occasions. In all honesty, I lately find many of the big events too stressful and hectic to enjoy.

A small part of me just died inside of absolute and utter envy! You look so stunning! And this looks like the most fun. So super jealous. And that owl bag... Gosh! You don't need me to tell you how awesome that is.
And the wreath is utter perfection! xz
Wow, I love that bag! So cute!
That last photo is so awesome-- BLUE and RED!
Ahh.. my jaw just dropped when I saw your gorgeous owl bag! Oh my goodness. It's amazing. What a wonderful find.
And I wish I didn't live on the other side of the world - I would have loved to meet all these bloggers so much. You look lovely, your wreath is beautiful!

Looks like such a lovely time! Wish I could have attended, darn classes taking up all my time!
I think I am going to go make a stop at the local cupcakery now. Mmm
That owl bag is adorable!! Love the picture of the balloons tied to the bag.
that bag is too cute!!! Adorable!
man, I so want to steal that bag!! so cute xD xx
in everyone's posts i've seen your owl bag in the background and i've been dying to know whose it is! i'm so sad that you bought it in florence and i can't copy you! haha.
Sounds a wonderful idea and a great way to meet other bloggers in a relaxed atmosphere. I also love the bag
It was super lovely lounging on the grass with you! As I said to Erin, you're welcome to join us in sleepy Brooklyn next time you're in town! <3
That owl purse is seriously awesome. It looks like the meet-up was a lot of fun.
oh, I really wish I could have been there! It seems like a great time and such a good idea to just be able to casually meet up with other bloggers. I hope in years to come you will still continue this as a tradition and maybe I'll be able to come!
xxL
love the owl purse by the way! such a good souvenir!
The best picture is the one with all the camera - it's more like a DSLR lovers' meeting than fashionistas haha.
What a stylish bunch of bloggers! :)

Ooh, fun! I love your little owl and It Girl Rag Doll's outfit!
sounds like a wonderful event. One that I will definitely want to be a part of next year. Because I am determined that I will make it to fashion week next year.
And that purse... AMAZING. There are no other words.
I think your outfit was perfect, and your bag is awesome!
I wish I could have gone to this event -- if it happens next year I want to find a way to go.
this looks like so much fun! I wish I was in New York for this. I think it's great you put the whole thing together Rebecca :) And I love your headpiece soo much!
Ah I see you got your hands on the not so famous owl bag by Amliya. I recently acquired a Black Beetle Car Bag from the same company and did a little post on my blog about the fascinating but sad story. I'm still looking for the black owl in Canada. It is very unique. :)
Love from Toronto, Canada
Rahhh, I'm so jealous! I keep saying it, but I miss blogging! It looks like all you blogger ladies (& gents!) had an amazing time :)

Another lovely outfit, and a new adorable bag! So cute!
Thankyou for taking the time to reply to my comment. I did realise that the views were not your own, but I appreciated the further explanation... Thankyou!
(and definitely agree one can still look chic at 40 without feeling the pressure to look younger!)
It looks like you all had such fun! I really adore your bag, it is very pretty!
this looks like so much fun and i am in love with your bag!
