TGIF: Toronto Petite Fashion Bloggers Meetup – Dinner at Peridot

Last Saturday, Cat and I had the opportunity to meet 3 other lovely ladies who are also Toronto petite fashion bloggers.  Elaine from Curls and Pearls, Cynthia from Shorty Stories, and Jess from Little Dust Princess.  Check out their blog posts here, here, and here, respectively.  The group photos are from Jess (thanks so much!), so readers may have noticed they look familiar.

It felt like I already knew them even though it was my first time meeting them in person!  We had a great time getting to know each other.  I found out more about Elaine’s other beauty blog, Toronto Beauty Reviews, and also Cynthia’s DelectablyChic! I got some great tips from Jess, including asking petite bloggers in US to help us buy stuff and ask them to send it to Canada!  Also, dinner was delicious!  I had the beef tenderloin and it was very tender and juicy!  My sister has been on a detox diet, which means no beef, and our family is suffering with her.  Every chance I get, I order beef!

At the dinner table…

We’re all really close in height.  We’re standing from tallest to shortest (left to right).  There was a debate on whether Cynthia or Elaine was taller.  We took our shoes off for the photo below:

My outfit…

Dress: Free People ‘Holly’s Lace’ Shift Dress, sz XS
Shoes: Jimmy Choo, sz 7
Necklace: Marc by Marc Jacobs
Earrings: Forever 21

There’s also a cut-out back but I forgot to take a photo.  Check it out here at Nordstrom.  I’m actually really scared to wear it out in public, because the one other time that I did, some dude’s belt got caught on my dress and my dress started to unravel!  I was so upset!  I love this dress but it wasn’t a practical investment, spent approximately $100 on the dress and this was my second time wearing it in 1.5 years.  Here’s a close-up of the dress pattern detail.

And the winner of my sporadic guessing venue contest in one of my previous post (here) was Elaine!  She received a Beauty Diary Mask, Givency perfume sample, and a MAC make-up brush!  Congrats!

Can’t wait for our next blogger meetup!  Summerlicious!!

    LOL! That last picture is funny! I didn’t have a copy of it so I didn’t post about the giveaway, thank you soooo much :) I LOOOOVED your dress – maybe it should be worn at dinners and not for an outting with a ton of people around. That would freak me out too!
