Remember this dress? Fellow blogger Veronica of Veronica Slater Presents found the same style of Pucci-esque print silk dress in a thrift shop that I also thrifted. Doesn't she look fabulous in it? I love the chunky necklace accessory.
Veronica and I met yesterday, in the flesh, for the first time, after commenting on and following eachother's respective blogs for months and months. Not surprisingly, we got along like old friends. Look, we even look like kindred spirits here, with out short dos, oversize sunglasses and bracelets!
I love this photo of us. I hope I didn't freak Veronica out too much as I found myself opening up to her about all kinds of things going on in my life. Just goes to show that if you bond in the blogosphere, chances are you'll bond in 'real' life. I find thrift bloggers are of a certain ilk, to be sure - but Veronica, just so you know, doesn't just blog about her FAB vintage purse collection.
As you'll see from her blog and website Veronica Slater Presents, Veronica blogs about living better (in three languages to boot), and all the wonderful stuff that comes along with that. She shares her ideas for gifting, giving and living better weekly on the Boreal Express, a CBC Radio-Canada chaine premiere show. Here she is sporting a spunky jumpsuit and a wonderful belt from the 1990s. Quelle style!
Veronica was kind enough to snap a pic of me wearing a Franco Mirabelli dress I thrifted for about ten bucks, made of this gorg fabric which is the Toronto designer's signature.
Here's Veronica again in her lovely thrifted dress. Veronica, I had such a great time with you. I sure hope we hang out again (and maybe do some thifting too?)!
How wonderful for you both I loved meeting desiree at Pullyoursocksup! a few weeks back as well.

ReplyDeleteHow fun. You look like sisters - both gorgeous as all heck! There are so many bloggers I'd love to meet.
ReplyDeleteHello Kelly and Co.!!!! I don't know why my blogger didn't list this post! Can you believe it? Murphy's law :( Glad I just found it!! Thank you so much, G-Q for such kind post. I just loved meeting you as well and look forward to reconnecting again soon. You didn't freak me out at all (I have 4 kids, remember? Takes a lot to freak ME out!!! LOL) I think you are wonderfully genuine, beautiful and fun. Thanks again for a great morning and see you soon!! Bisous. V.
ReplyDeleteSeems like you had a wonderful day together and have met a lasting friend.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures and the outfits.
I'll have to check out her blog site.
Thanks ladies, we do look like sisters or something don't we? It's been such a thrill to meet Veronica, not just because we hit it off like old pals, but also because so many of my thrifty blogging pals are across an ocean or in an another country! If only we could all meet up for a glass of vino and a gab one night eh?
