internet friends, turned real life friends

you guys, i just made six new friends.

yesterday morning i had the pleasure of meeting six wonderful ladies over brunch.

they were strangers, we had only talked on the internet.

the only things we had in common [pre-meet up] were our blogs, and the fact that we lived in northern california.

and, as scary as meeting strangers on the internet can be, i assure you that this was not one of those situations.

i picked up ana on my way, and we met up with the other ladies, bailey, meg, alex, tracy, and kimberly, at the tower cafe in midtown.

we talked about anything, and everything. there was no room for silence and awkwardness. topics included our blogs [duh], hobbies, significant others, weddings, babies, food, and travel. oh my goodness, so much travel talk. i think everyone's travel bugs were going crazy [i know mine definitely was!] discussing travel stories, travel tips, living abroad, dream expeditions...anything under the sun. 

 blazer, tank, and necklace courtesy of nordstrom [shocker], jeans via old navy [another huge shocker] and sparkly champagne flats found at payless, satchel from target. 

food coma courtesy of the seasonal french toast. 

we met up at eleven in the morning, and people, let me tell you...i did not get back to my house until five thirty in the evening. that's how much these gals rock.

 ana made these adorable party favors, inside was a yummy red velvet cupcake.

 cute, minus that whole lighting issue.

 self photo bomb. 

self timer was on...so silly.

ana, bailey, kimberly.

it was fun.

lots of fun.

so much fun that we are planning another get together...wine tasting!

so ladies, thank you! i'm so glad to call each one of you a new friend. 

and readers, go check them out...for reals.
