On Saturday, I had a blind date with two of my favorite bloggers Erika of Small Shop and Irene of DesignStiles. We drank lots of wine, gorged on comfort food and then went drunk shopping, which is the best kind of shopping!
This is us at the beginning of our date. We were very civilized at this point.
And then wine happened.
And sweet potato fries and fancy roasted mushroom and truffle oil flatbread happened.
And pretty soon we let loose, although still fairly civilized.
FOUR whole hours and more wine later we walked to a little boutique not far from the restaurant and took loads of pictures. We even asked the salesgirl to snap shots of the three of us, which I ordinarily would never have the balls to do. But Irene offered to swiffer the floor so it was all good!
Seriously though, it’s incredible how the Internet can bring people together. I feel like I’ve known these girls forever and there wasn’t a single awkward moment. We laughed really loud and everyone in our vicinity probably wanted to punch us. Those are the best kind of dates. I heart you girls!
Visit Small Shop and DesignStiles for more juicy details and photos.

soo cool. Looks like you girls had lots of fun…a brunettes only date hehe
:))))))))
Very jealous! Any plans for a DC trip anytime soon? Actually forget it, I’d rather make the trek to San Diego. I’ll bring wine and a duster.. I actually am known for “drunk cleaning” at parties… random but true.
Awww you girls are so fun! I love the pic’s and you gals look like your having a blast! Cuteness!
you seriously made me laugh through your entire post ~ you girls look all kinds of adorable!! it’s so weird how the internet brings people together ~ i was just saying the other day how i’ve never even met any of my blogger buddies, much less even spoken to them, but i feel like i know them all!! so weird!! i so wish i could’ve met up with you girls but i’m way north of you 😉

Oh so fun!! You took fabulous pictures and you can’t go wrong with wine and shopping.
looks like so much fun! next stop nyc?
Oh how fun!!! Aren’t blogger meet ups just the best? Seriously a few of these girls I’ve met I feel like I’ve known for years. I guess that’s what happens when people who share the same interests meet 🙂
Love the photos. You girls look gorgeous! And I love Irene’s blog. Off to check out Erika’s!
Thanks Dawn! You’ll love Erika!
OMG so Jelly!!! I suddenly have the urge to drink a bottle of wine, photoshop my face in those pics and pretend I was there. Can y’all come have a NYC blogger meet up puuleeease?! So glad you girls had a blast. That is definitely my type of day. Cheers!
Tamra, you were there in spirit! And we drank extra wine just for you!
this looks like a blast!!! Hopefully I will be lucky enough to go on a date with you Sabra!!! hehe
Molliee, you’re next on my list!
So fun (and jealous)! Looks like so much fun!
Loved reading each of your recaps! Your booties are so cute too. Just had to say that.
PS- what’s with you guys and the plywood? Are you posing in front of boarded up shops?
Thanks Naomi! If you’re talking about my booties, they’re Modern Vintage. Not sure what Irene’s were. Don’t you know boarded up shops makes for a perfect backdrop for a drunken photoshoot 😉
That last photo with the swiffer is pure gold. I also love that it appears you ladies each had a carafe of wine to yourselves. My kind of afternoon!
We had three mini carafes apiece! When Irene grabbed the swiffer, I nearly fell over I was laughing so hard!
I LOVE this! 🙂 Especially the part about drunk shopping…and wine…and sweet potato fries. What a neat date!
Fun times. I seriously can’t wait to do it again. Man, if you guys lived closer our livers might be in trouble.
That looks like so much fun! So glad you got to meet up! Love the web, My turn soon 🙂
Ha ha yes it was totally like a blind date! Had a blast. Can’t wait to do it again soon!! xoxo
Nothing like good food, good wine, and good bloggy dates, right? (c: Jumped over from Irene’s to say hi…because I’m pretty sure any friend of Irene’s has got to be someone entertaining (c: hehehe!
Welcome Aubrey!
