This weekend has been amazing. I drove into Chicago on Friday to meet up with my dear friends Andrea from Blonde Bedhead and Veronika from Tick Tock Vintage. I was so excited to meet Veronika. We clicked instantly and I swear I don't think I could love that girl more. The three of us had so much fun. We went shopping for a bit, grabbed some delicious ice-cream and all got ready to head to the Randolph Street Market Blogger Happy Hour to meet up with other Chicago-based bloggers! I always love seeing those girls!
The blogger happy-hour was held at Plumber's Hall and there were plenty of free drinks! It was my first time drinking champagne... ew! Veronika was cracking up at me and drinking the rest of my drink. I opted for the rum and diet coke instead. It was so fun taking outfit shots with all of the girls outside in an alleyway! It's always amazing for me to get with a group of girls who understand the concept of 'outfit shots'. Haha!
All of the Chicago-based girls are so sweet. I absolutely love meeting up with all of them. From right to left, here are the bloggers in order: Sabrina from Defying My Closet, Tara from Haute Lunch, Tabitha from Fashion Therapist, Leilani from Thriftaholic, Lisa from Archives Vintage, Emily from Sartoriography, Veronika from Tick Tock Vintage, Andrea from Blonde Bedhead and me!
It's such a joy to get dressed up with girls, take photos, have some drinks, walk the entire way home with arms linked giggling over insane stories. We went home to have a couple of drinks before 'heading out on the town' but instead ended up laughing at dumb YouTube videos (old gregg!) on the internet and falling asleep early. Love these girls!
Thanks so much to the Randolph Street Market for hosting the blogger happy hour and providing snacks and drinks! It was such a great time and super fun to have a sneak peek of the market! I love going out to Chicago for fun events and can't wait for the next one. Thanks to all of the girls for hanging out - I had so much fun! xo

All of the photos are so happy and playful! It looks like you had a killer time and who doesn't like being around people that don't stare disapprovingly after the fourth photo?
Aw sound like you had a blast! you looked adorable. I bet it is so much fun to meet up with other bloggers..because after a while you really feel like you know them..but meeting in person just solidifies the friendship.. fun!

omg! i completely understand about the whole "finding friends that understand the concept of an outfit shot" my friends don't understand it :( but lovely pics!!!
Your Tweets about this kept making me smile. Looks like you had a wonderful time, and I adore that sweet little dress!
Oh this looks like so much fun. I wish something like this would happen in New Zealand but I'm not sure we have enough bloggers!
Aww, you ladies all look so adorable! How can you not like champagne? Even more so how could that have been your first time trying it?! Craziness. Haha, you all look like you're having a blast in these photos though and I enjoyed reading about it. I love the way you paired your lace dress with the grey tights.
I'm glad you had a fun time in Chicago, it was so great to meet you and Veronika! You're definitely every bit as stylish and pretty in person as you are in your photos. Hope to see you again the next time you're in the windy city. :)
Wow! How did I not know such utter crazy fun was going on right under my nose? I knew you guys were all cleva gals but had no idea what spontaneity and creativity you would bring to the Blogger's Happy Hour @ Randolph Street Market! I swear you have reinterpreted the whole thing for me.......and that is pretty damn tough to do.Great job, can't wait to repost this. P.S.sorry your first taste of champagne was so yucky ;) thank god for alternative liquor sources.
You all look so cute. Gorgeous pics.
Beautiful! I absolutely adore the shots, and you look SO gorgeous!! Love what you wore & your fab red lipstick. I'm such a fan of blogger meet ups and yours looks like such a blast, why oh why do I have to live so far away. xx veronika
I miss your musk.
I had too much fun that night. Sharing poop stories and watching stupid ass youtube videos together was one of my faves. <3. See you in a couple weeks!
