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 😛

  • Been a bit busy lately I’m overwhelmed with love and gratitude - we feel so lucky to have had such an amazing celebration! Took us a decade, but it was definitely worth the wait!

  • You *know* I had to! Once I had my wedding hair & makeup trial, I put the look TO WORKKK! ✏️ To get a sense of how my look would perform on my wedding day, I did: ✅ a humidity test ✅ a transfer test ✅ a kiss test ✅ a food test ✅ a crying test ✅ an exertion test It was a ton of fun and really gave me a sense of how the look would handle the various stresses of a wedding day. The tests showed what worked well and where we needed to make some small
