When I travel to a new city I love to meet up with bloggers in the area. Yes, complete strangers. I’ve never heard of anyone else doing this until Valerie hit me up on Instagram to tell me she was coming to Miami for Ultra. We met up for brunch at The Betsy Hotel on Ocean Drive. I must confess that it had been a rough weekend. I went on Friday night with Yanique who was also in town visiting and didn’t get home until 2 pm the next day. O_O The rest of my Saturday was spent in total zombie mode and I definitely didn’t start feeling human again until AFTER brunch with Valerie. Hence my super simple, I want to be comfortable look for brunch haha.
I went back to Valerie’s hotel the Marenas Beach Resort & Spa and we ate crazy Kit-Kat flavors and cakes in the shape of chickens before going to shoot outfit photos on the beach. I wish I’d gotten to spend more time with her while she was here but my car decided to be a butt and pick this week to need maintaining. I did end up seeing her one more time though before she returned to Hong Kong and we went on an adventure of Shake Shack, a trip to Ultra (my first), and Pub Belly Sushi. Good times.
P.S. Last time I was photographed in this dress, I had braids!

So glad to hear you saw Yanique! And brunch will always make the day better. This is a cute look for you. Much more laid back than you usually are, but it still works.

March 29, 2013 at 9:53 AMHahah yeaaaa, Miami is definitely meant for those PM walks back to the house. I remember when I went there for my 21st birthday- I’m borderline surprised I didn’t collapse from exhaustion. And how fun meeting up a blogger! I love those dates, it’s always so fun to talk to someone about blogging that actually does it. And I’m LOVING your outfit- that dress is adorable. And I have to mention that outfit you wore for Marie Claire too- it was so creative and stylish!

I totally agree with you about meeting other bloggers, I always try to whenever I can, I think it’s the best thing about blogging & I’ve met so many incredible people I’d never have otherwise met! :)
