Renegade Style Blogger Meet-Up Recap


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

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!

Hannah said...

The best picture is the one with all the camera - it's more like a DSLR lovers' meeting than fashionistas haha.

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.

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

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!)

I really love your pussy-bow dress and it's quite heartening that it's Asos. Your owl bag is ace - when I went to Florence I think I ended up buying a fake LV bag. What a massive mistake.

Thank you for featuring me Rebecca!
It was amazing to get to meet you & Erin. It felt completely surreal and I wish we had had time to talk a bit more but I was all shy as soon as I got there.
