blogger meetup with coco maria!

this weekend, i was lucky enough to meetup with the lovely nicole of coco maria while she was visiting california. we met up in berkeley for a little lunch and ice cream date, and had such fun! it was my first blogger meetup, and i was so excited! nicole's was one of the first style blogs i found, and it has long been one of my favorites. it was such a pleasure to meet her- she is as adorable and sweet in "real life" as she is on her blog! she and i have similar tastes in music, and discussed bands, blogging, summer, and my lovely home state of california!

we found this cute decorated wall that was on the side of a candy shop (hence the "sweet dreams"). i love the little teddy bears and the odd dance they seemed to be doing. of course i had to try it too!

some obligatory outfit shots:

outfit // top: urban outfitters (sale!) // skirt: american apparel // belt: thrifted // huarache sandals: via sui generis etsy shop

and nicole looked quite lovely as well:

and any blogger meetup would be incomplete without some jumping shots! we had to take lots, of course, in order to get a few in-the-air shots. here we are just getting ready to jump:

and, finally....liftoff!

i had a great time meeting nicole; we enjoyed a lovely lunch, indulged in some ice cream, and stopped at a book store and a pet store that had kittens, rabbits, and exotic birds! i really enjoyed meeting her in person and having someone to talk blogs with!

side note: i did a little blog re-design, let me know what you think! any html tips/suggestions are always greatly appreciated :D
