Vanessa, Jennifer and Paulina
You know the saying, “No man is an island”? I think the same applies to bloggers. We can’t and shouldn’t blog in a vaccuum, so it’s important to develop blogger friendships and networks, not only for support, but to share fresh ideas from other perspectives. I was invited to the most recent San Diego Style Bloggers meet up, arranged by founders Rachael of Da Paura and Paulina of Lil Bits Of Chic along with eco-friendly VavaVida. It was held at Bubbles Boutique in the Gaslamp District of Downtown San Diego, and was so much fun! We had snacks, champagne, and even little gifts from VavaVida and Bubbles Boutique. Not only did I get to meet the lovely Paulina and reconnect with Jennifer of Malcriada and Vanessa of Fashion Mixtape, I got to know a few more awesome local bloggers: Pat and Paula of Pat Flor, Jess of Jess Glam Diary, Tuyayamya of White Tee Black Dress, Lua of Miss Lulu Blogs and Lindsay of Elle Web Style. In addition to meeting a bevy of fashionable bloggers, I also met two talented San Diego based jewelry designers: Deneace of Mad Rain Designs and Suki of Suki Bijoux (check out my cute ring by Suki Bijoux, pictured below). I had a wonderful time chatting with both ladies, and I will have interviews with both of these designers in future blog posts.
We are all individual, beautiful, and stylish. We are of different ages, sexes and walks of life and we all have something to offer. If you have a chance to attend a local blogger event, I suggest you do so and often. Get out there and get to know your fellow local bloggers!
