If I Could Meet These Bloggers in Real Life...

I'd wet my pants.

Wait, you think I would actually admit to that on my blog? PSH.

Seriously though, there are some bloggers that seem to jump off the computer screen as so genuine, real, and insanely crazy fun that I'd want to hang with them in real life. Isn't that what blogging is all about? I love being able to connect with online friends away from the blogosphere because it sets the foundation for some pretty amazing friendships! So if I had my pick of the blogger litter...I'd pick the following and this is what our ideal blate {blogger+date} would look like:

// Erin @ Living in Yellow

Isn't Erin a given?? I would totally go on a tropical vacation with her and even though I don't drink...we would hit up some crazy dance parties then I would feel hungover the next morning from all the insane fun that was had. She seems not only sweet, but just a solid and dependable friend to have around, someone who has no qualms with telling it like it is. We all need a friend like that!

// Emily @ The Sweetest Thing

Gorgeous much?! Emily would be the PERFECT shopping gf because she has a great sense of style and she knows how to high/low brand mix like a champ. Our blogger date would be a weekend full of hardcore shopping, getting all gussied up for fancy dinners out on the town, sunny days laying by the pool, and talking about the young married life! 

// Natalie & Huck @ Hey Natalie Jean

I just hope that one day I have a child as ridiculously adorable as Huck. I DIE. I would love to roam around New York city with Natalie and Huck on all their adventures to the park or to the new hippest place to eat. They could show off the city to a first-timer and take me to all the must-see stores, sights, and parties. They just seem like such a fun & spontaneous pair to hang with!

// Jess @ Glisten Fit

I've known Jess for a little while in this blogging world, and it's funny {seeing as how we've never met in person} how insanely proud I am of her for her new Glisten Fit personal training business! This little country girl with so much life & boundless energy, would push me to work harder and be my best during the workout, but then after be an awesome gf to watch stupid girly movies and narf on ice cream with.

// Olga @ Vintage Pretty

Olga is probably the most gorgeous pregnant woman I've ever seen. I'm not even kidding. I've been following her blog for a while and with every pregnancy she always looks absolutely stunning. She is so creative, I would love to throw a blogger party with her! The crafting-party-throwing side of me would be jumping for joy at the thought of working with her on all the cute and thoughtful little details for our party guests.

Which bloggers would you love to go on a blate with in real life?

My Blogger Date With Bree

I can't even express how absolutely STOKED I was to finally meet my blogger friend Bree Pair from The Thing About Joy. We have been going back and forth via blog comments, email, Instagram, and Twitter for over a year! She is a blogger from Houston, TX and I've been back and forth between California & Utah, so when she texted me that she would be at Disneyland for the weekend...I hopped to it and drove my bum down there! We hit up Earl of Sandwich {pretty delish} and talked about family, religion, life, blogging, and everything else in between for 3 and a half hours! We seriously talked like we had been best friends for years and we were just catching up after a long time apart. It is completely CRAZY how this blogging world works! We totally clicked & I couldn't have been more grateful to finally meet one of my good friends in real life :) 

Thanks for the awesome night Bree! <3

P.S. I'm wearing an Anthropologie romper in this pic...never would have guessed huh?!

Blogger+Date= Blate

I have been perfectly horrible on writing here, with life hitting the fan and with me just getting back from some crazy kamikaze trip to Utah this weekend {20 hours of driving in 3 days}, I have been pooped! Granted, I hate apologizing for having a life outside my blog so I will not say sorry, but will say that I'm excited to share some fun stories with all of you.

Meet my new friend Courtney, we have been blog buddies for a long while now and I finally had the opportunity to meet her this summer! Blogger dates are really interesting, you feel as if you know this person after days and months of tweeting/commenting/emailing back and forth but yet you don't really know them. The fun part is putting the pieces together of what you know of your blate from blogging/Insta/Twitter and what they sound like/act like in real life!

{Coral jeans also worn here & here}

She was so sweet to drive out and meet me in Corona where we then drove to Chick-fil-a {yuummm} and talked about past retail jobs, school, and life! Then we meandered around Target and walked around the outside mall where she got an adorable mint and grey maxi dress and I purchased a white blouse at Loft {super awesome sales!}. We ended up at my apartment complex pool, put our feet in the cool water where I then proceeded to pretty much talk her ear off. And of course, we would not be bloggers if we didn't take a picture to document the occasion! Can't wait for more blates this summer :)
