Toronto Petite Blogger Meetup

Posted on March 20, 2011 by Elaine

Ok, I totally deserve an award for doing this post in a timely manner 😛  Most of my posts are of outfits taken a week, if not more before!  (Is that breaking some blogging rule?  If it is, sorry but oh well!)

I had a fantastic time last night meeting 4 AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL ladies!  We were expecting a few more but some couldn’t make it out  unfortunately 🙁  Hopefully next time!

As Jessy mentioned in her post (she is QUICK) we met at Peridot which is a cute little restaurant / lounge on Bloor Street East in between Yonge and Church.  The food was fantastic and made for a nice girls night out treat.  Thank you to Jessy and Cynthia for organizing!

My lovely dinner dates:

And on to the food!!  LOL it was quite amusing having all of us at the table taking pictures of the food then tweeting about it – the other patrons must have seriously thought we were nuts!

It was so fun having other people take your photos for you LOL!  What a fun night just chatting and getting to know each other.  Some people are under the impression that with blogging you’re putting your life out there.  Blogging is so one dimensional and only shows a small little aspects of our lives and a bit of what we’re interested in.  Getting to know the ladies behind the great blogs was an honour and a pleasure.  Can’t wait to do it again!

PS – I’d like to give a shout out to the front desk staff at the Marriott across the street who made sure I didn’t get lost in the parking lot 😛

    Looks like you guys had a blast! I love blogger meet ups.

    How fun! You girls look like you’ve been friends for years 🙂 The food at this restaurant looks fantastic. I can’t believe I’ve never been to Peridot, and it’s right in my ‘hood! It’s now on my list of restaurants to check out. Thanks for sharing!

    @kileen It was sooo good! I love salmon but sometimes places over cook it – this was perfect!

    @Banhannas 😛 being on twitter was almost like having you there hanna 😉

    @The Little Dust Princess Jess I’m too lazy and untalented to edit my photos LOL! I do edit sometimes on my beauty blog because a lot of the pictures are extreme and scary close ups 😛 As for settings…it’s on auto hahaha! Ok but the focal length was 28 mm, I turned the flash off and the aspect ratio was 16:9. I don’t really know if that helps or not!

    @Callandra It was a long time coming. I think Cynthia first suggested a meet up way back in October? LOL – life just happens I guess so I’m really glad it worked out finally!

    @Hope OMG Hope, I’m sooo flattered! I have an inspiration folder too – can’t believe I’m going to be in yours 🙂

    What a great evening (and sounds like so much fun)! The food looks amazing…my mouth is watering over the spinach wraps and tiramisu 😉 You guys all look so pretty! I’m loving your striped tee and blazer outfit and the tie bow blouse on Jessy is adorable!

    I had a lot of fun! Thanks for coming out 😀 I love how your photos turned out… most of the ones you see on my blog were edited. You can compare them to the ones I sent you. LOL (I sent the originals) Which setting were you using on your cam? : )
