Socal blogger Meetup Deux

so I know I haven't been around lately but I've been really sick (still am) and have pretty much done nothing but sleep lately

anyway I went to the second socal blogger meetup this past saturday and had so much fun!

the meetup was held at Roppongi in La Jolla and I totally want to go back there for a date night the food was so delicious!

we were outside in their little front patio area and it was just the perfect day!

there were seriously so many amazing sponsors! go check them all out here, really go! I promise you want regret it (though your wallet might, such cute stuff!)

I won this beautiful necklace from The Altered Chain

it's seriously so pretty, dainty, and well made!

and there were tons of goodies and discounts in our gift bags! I totally have some shopping to do!

there were over 60 girls there which was amazing!

and they had so many sponsors donate to the giveaway that not only did everyone win something they put our names back in for the rest of it and I won a photography session with the lovely Karina Irene!  She took these pics of the meetup (my camera battery was dead grr...) and she's so amazing and being a photographer it's something I'm very picky about but can't very easily take pictures of myself so I am so excited!


now it's time for me to get back to sleep

see you in a week or so...? lol!

SoCal blogger meetup & giveaway winner!

Ok so I'm finally posting about the blogger meetup! I'm such a slacker blogger I swear! Always behind!

anywho, so obviously I should be the one person who always has their camera with them, but no, not me. I always seem to forget it when it's most important, always!

(I blame being scatter-brained, or the fact that it didn't fit in my purse...also, this is my excuse for being the last one to blog about it...ya...that's it! ;)

So I had to snag all of the forthcoming pics from the photographer for the event Karina Irene, except for the last one of me and Stephanie, that I snagged from Mandey (Thanks Mandey!)

Mandy also gave everyone some super cute earrings in the goody bags and I love mine! Will post about those later!

So I guess pics first and then i'll talk about it? Ya? ...that's what I thought

So clearly it was so much fun and I, for one, cannot wait for the next one!

The event was hosted by Tammy, Olivia, Stephanie, and Kelsey.  I seriously love all four of these ladies to pieces! Such dolls! And since they're all so amazing they obviously put on a terrific event! 

It was at Sip by Flavor Del Mar which was gorgeous and so cool! And the little appetizers they provided for us were delicious! I didn't have any of the wine but they had a ton so if you're in the San Diego area and love wine go here! I'm so glad I discovered this place because I love Del Mar! We take Lulu to the doggie beach there all the time, Stephanie and I have met up there twice for lunch, and B and I even went on our honeymoon there! (that's how we discovered it!) It's seriously the cutest little town and I want to live there so badly one day!

Anyway, back to the meetup. We played blogger bingo which was an awesome way to get to know and meet everyone! We also played that baby shower game where you can't say "baby" but this time it was "blog" or "blogger". I always fail miserably at that game cause I don't pay attention at all an this was no exception! (I am, however, amazing at the melted candy poop game...but that's another story)

We had champagne and I had my first ever sprinkles cupcake (vanilla fyi) and it was obviously delicious! 

But the best part is all the lovely ladies I got to meet! A couple I "knew" before but I was nice to finally meet them in person as well as meet tons of new girls whose blogs I'm now obsessed with! And it was so cool to have stuff in common with nearly every person I talked to (besides blogging obviously!)

Anyway It was seriously so much fun! If there's ever a blog meetup in your area you should definitely go! (or maybe start your own!) and if you're in southern CA you should for sure come to the next one!

Be sure to go here to check out all of my new bloggy friends' posts about the event!

And the winner of my giveaway is #19 lovely Jillian from Iron and Sunshine! yay!!
