As I said before, I've met a lot of bloggers in the past couple of weeks. I knew that I really wanted to take advantage of being in New York to hook up with some girls I felt I knew already. Some meet ups didn't work out, sadly, as people lived further away than I thought they did, but I still managed to fit a lot of blog gossip into a couple of days. First up was the lovely Monique of Tipa Tipa. I only found Monique's blog a couple of months ago, and it became and instant favourite for her intelligence, grace, and lovely Brooklyn style and stories. So I was delighted when she agreed to meet me!
We meet in Brooklyn on a horrible day when it was absolutely pouring, and tucked ourselves into a cafe, which served delicious sandwiches (I had Brie, pear and mustard, mmmmmmm). And a couple of hours simply disappeared. It was so nice to get to know her; she's just like her blog, except louder and chattier, and we had some great conversations about traveling and New York. I just hope she'll come to Europe and hang out with me there... or I'll come back and take her up on that bike tour she was offering, and meet her fiancée and so on.... ; )
Also, these pictures are some of my favourites from the trip. How awesome is our unintentional colour blocking? I also like how we're basically dressed quite alike... clearly there are some commonalities. Also, I couldn't have asked for a better backdrop.

I wore my vintage coat, charity shop scarf, Warehouse jeans, American Apparel socks and shoes from ebay. Check out Monique's post here.

@Kallie: YES!
Aww glad yo were so busy meeting more lovely people!! :) You both look so cheerful despite all the rain.
you two look quite stunning together. the colours just merge with the backgroud so nicely. connecting with other bloggers seems like such a treat I want a bite in one day.
SUPER cute photos. I love how colorful you both look. Did you plan that? With the bright wall, her pants, and your coat, you look like a magazine shoot or something. So awesome that you got to meet so many bloggers!
Haha, no, we didn't plan anything! Apparently great minds just think alike!
I just have to say it again - I love that coat and I want those shoes. Seriously. Send them to me. ;-) Looks like you had a great time together - what fun!
All these colors put me in a cheerful mood :) you two are precious! And I love the color of you coat!
the bright colors are adorable on you both :)
Where did you get those cute shoes?
Emily looking at these photos certainly put a gigantic smile on my face...ah so so glad to have met you in real time.
You guys look so great together! Gotta love some outfit serendipity!
Your scarf is gorgeous!Is that embroidery?
that first picture is utterly adorable! I looove the bright colors you guys are wearing, you totally match and clash at the same time.
about your comment on my blogpost: don't worry, I like it when people disagree with mee to a certain extent, it helps me put my own opinions in perspective. After all, I don't have a monopoly on the truth. I do agree with you, but that whole thing about blogging and magazines actually stimulating blind consumerism is a whole different story and my post was superlong already, so I just sort of left it out.
But I DO know that I am at that point in life and in my style where I really know what I want. Before, I was much more fickle when it came to fashion, but the last year or so I have really found my niche, to the point that I still really LOVE things I bought a year ago and still love wearing them. When you're in that zone, you have such a clear guideline of what you need and what you don't need. And I don't know if we are really in style. I mean, basically everything is in style at a certain point, especially with the internet. The only HUGE trend I'm seeing right now is the colorblocking trend, and I don't actually like that one that much (kinda lazy, eightties and lacking of sophistication) so I won't be buying.
Great colours and coordination!! You look both so happy and beautiful! I'm glad you had all those good times in N.Y.! :)
Thank you for your visit! :) cute blog ^^
lovely ladies. everything you guys are wearing is so colorful! i'm sure you brightened up the streets!
