Fashion bloggers meeting up with each other -- does it actually happen?
Hell if I know.
But I know I did. For the first time.
Meet Bella.
Seattle fashion blogger, 40+ and proud of it, trend setter, go-getter, and the author of The Citizen Rosebud -- Bella in a nutshell.
When she's not hanging out with her boy or working at her vintage store, she's dreaming up her next outfit.
What will it be today, Bella? Bearing it all in a Betty Boop-inspired halter, or wrapping yourself comfortably in a 20-something-year old sweater?
With Bella, it's always a surprise.
A pleasant surprise.
And that's why I love her blog.
Because Bella always surprises me.
You see, fashion bloggers get along because they have something quintessentially passionate to talk about -- blogging.
During my conversation with Bella about blogging, I slightly noted that the reason why I stopped reading some bigger blogs is because they became so blah -- too goody two-shoe, too afraid to offend the masses, and too little of their own opinions.
A growing audience means more people to please, I suppose.
"Personality!" I said, "they lack personality."
Not with Bella's blog though. She's all kinds of personality there.
In both fashion and writing.
And that's why I love her blog.
Find her in full bloom on The Citizen Rosebud.
Where's the fashion, girlie?
Oh yes. How can I forget.
Being a mom, simplicity is key. Bella described it best: I'm a minimalist.
I had no idea.
My outfit consisted of a long, solid top over dark skinnies. On my feet were Mocassin flats.
It was a subtle and wearable attire -- perfect for meeting up at the cafe.

By the way, Bella, I and baby J met up at Fresh Flours in Phinney Ridge - an excellent little cafe.
Hey Bella, if you are reading this, next danish is on me.
Happy Hump Day!
Are you a Seattle Fashion Blogger too? Bella and I connected through a FB group called Seattle Style Bloggers lead by Lindsay of Lindsay Living.
It's a cozy little group, if you want to join.
so amazing!

I love meeting fellow bloggers. Like you said, we are all so different yet have so much in common. Looks like you had a fun time!
ReplyDeleteThat's so great! I would love to meet another fashion blogger. You know when you start accidentally getting into a convo about blogging and the person you're talking to starts to zone out because they don't blog? haha, It happens too often.
