Smashing Success

Last weekend I attended  the first Sacramento blogger fashion meet-up at Crimson & Clover, my favorite vintage shop in Sacramento, hosted by the lovely Bella Q of The Citizen Rosebud. It was so nice to meet my fellow local bloggers and be in such stylish company. I have renewed love for my city's vibrant art and retro fashion scene.
Bella looked amazing in her signature polka dot print and pill box hat.
So nice to finally meet  Kari of Juniper James (great blog full of local fashion tips) and Kerry of Fashion Farms and Freedom .
I also met for the first time two bloggers who I was not yet aware of, Lorena of Sac Cycle Chic and Jen of Wade and Associates. They both have lovely blogs as well! I actually found this floral 80s party dress and the store that day and couldn't resist buying it, I do love floral prints so. It was a scorcher that day and I had defiantly wore my new mod long sleeved mini dress but it was sooo uncomforatable in the heat, I'm ready for fall weather.
Kari, Bella Q and Natale of Evelesco. So nice to finally meet her as I follow her blog and she  scored this gorgeous yellow top at C&C that day..most of us fashion bloggers did a little vintage shopping understandably.
This is the inside of the store, gorgeous right? They also have the best prices for vintage boutiques in Sacramento even beating many thrift stores! They always carry pretty stuff that meets a certain aesthetic too.
Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to photograph everyone that attended the meet-up but since the first one was such a smashing success I'm sure there will be more and Bella also posted about it on her blog.

  1. What a great post! I'm so bummed I only used my silly film camera and now have to wait for it to be developed to write a post. I guess we'll just have to all get together again :)
