It was days like today that remind me how lucky I am to have started blogging. Without Vixen Vintage I would not have know of all the awesome people out there (yes, you!) who love vintage as I do, if only we could all meet for coffee and chat away!
Well this afternoon I did just that with one of my favorite bloggers, Cedar of The Vintage Wife. I can't begin to say how much fun we had, we met at a coffee shop, talked non stop about vintage, estate sales, and how there are so many cocktail dresses and not enough cocktail parties. She is so sweet, and enjoyable to hang out with, and oh how adorable! I think we were both a bit nervous at first, but it was so funny when we first saw each other and realized we wore similar dresses!
After "coffee" (a smoothie and ice tea) we walked to Frock You!, a great vintage shop with so many pretties! I tried on a lot, although nothing was quite the right fit, we had so much fun looking at some crazy purses and trying on hats (there was one little black Jacques Fath hat I fell in love with), and talking poodle skirts with the guy working there. A little side note, I love seeing guys who work at vintage shops, it's great to see their take on vintage!
After Frock you! My mother drove us a few blocks to a vintage shop that had unfortunately closed, but we did pop into Fables, the darling storefront for this Etsy shop, you've probably seen the darling sailor swimsuits all over Etsy! The owner was so cute and nice, it was really cool to meet her even though we weren't planning on it, and I just couldn't get over the shower themed dressing room!
So as you can see it was a wonderful afternoon, I hope this will be the first of many blogger meet-ups, and I really hope to see Cedar again, she is the kind of friend I'd love to have!

Were you able to go to Wear It Again, Sam's Vintage store? That store has been a San Diego staple for a long while.
LuckyDame, that shop closed back in March, they had a big sale and I got a great coat!
Blogger meet-ups are SO much fun! Emily from Livin' Vintage just came to St Louis a few weeks ago to meet and hang out all weekend. I've met so many awesome people through my blog (including my vintage bestie!). I love being able to read about meet-ups and shopping trips from both blogger's views. -very- cool!

Oh, I'm jealous of that shower curtain like you would not believe!
Oh my gosh! I think I sold that dress to the The Vintage Wife. At least, I sold one just like it. You both look so coordinated and cute.
