I wore one shirt all weekend.

The SoCal Blogger Meet Up was a blast! 

Roppongi in La Jolla were amazing hosts and provided us with some really delicious appetizers...I fancied these extremely delicious peppers. So much in fact, that I had AT LEAST ten. I would say fifteen is highly likely #innerfatty.  I will definitely be going back there for some sushi! Plus, they have their own parking garage which is necessary in La Jolla. 

There were SO many bloggers there, I didn't even officially meet at least a third of them. If I didn't meet you, I'm sorry!! I think we can all agree, the meet up was a little overwhelming at times with SIXTY attendees!

I also didn't take a whole lot of pictures. I was embarrassed of my little digital camera next to all these high tech DSLR's ;) 

Candy station at the SoCal Blogger Meet Up!

Some Raffle Prizes!

With Kelsey. I NEED her necklace!! 

My bangs can die. Remember all of you who said they were cute? AHEMMM??

Here I am with  Jamie, Katie, and Meg!! Loved these ladies. They occupied a lot of my time at the meet up. I just couldn't get enough :) Katie and I spotted each other right away, it was pretty cute to be honest. Meg is so easy going and sweet. She totally deserved to win the grand prize of a theit camera bag! I'm pretty sure everyone was insanely jealous at that moment. Hopefully she's gonna hold it down for us with the stone age blogger digital cameras. I am going to obsess Jamie's blog all the time now after meeting her. She's the cutest.

I loved getting to chat with AmiraDevonAshleyBritt, and Ashley. They were all so friendly and genuine. I would absolutely hang out with any of them! Ashley from Adventures of Newlyweds kept saying things like "I'm moving back to Michigan some day" and on the inside I was like "oh I know". Helloooo blog stalker!

The boyfriend and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on Sunday by taking a Hornblower Brunch Buffet Cruise around San Diego bay. We're pretty lucky because this weekend every year in February is BEAUTIFUL. I couldn't have asked for better weather.

I woke up this morning and knew what I was going to pile on my plate at this buffet. Bacon. The bacon trend has hit me head on. There were so many desserts, pasta salads, breakfast sweets and meats, endless champagne (we made mimosas!) and yet I beelined it to the bacon. It's my anniversary and I'll eat what I want to ;)


How did we get one of the best tables on the ship!?


Same shit shirt. Different day.



I love this picture. Proud to be an American!!!


 Isn't he adorable? Yeah, sorry he's taken ;)

Coronado Bridge!

And hell, maybe I'll wear this shirt to work tomorrow? 

How was your weekend?

  2. I am not sure if you're following my blog or not, but I've recently found yours and have enjoyed reading and following along. I appreciate what you've done with #ff series. Such a great way to connect with fellow bloggers. I read Amira's wrap up post on the So Cal meet up, and was mildly (OK--MAJORLY) jeal of your fun times. We're trying to do something similar with some bloggers in Minneapolis, but our group is a slight bit smaller.

  7. I knew I'd like this post based on the title alone. But then again I always like your blog entries...??

    I think you look cute. I can't see your bangs but that doesn't mean I don't like them.

    Also, the cruise looks fab. I feel like these pictures were posted for me to say, "Hey Lauren, look what you'll get to see in like, a month".

  25. Okay, so seriously... I am moving to San Diego. I'm not sure when yet. But I am. And these pictures confirmed that. Not that it needed to be confirmed because it was already set in my mind.

    Anywayyyy-in BOTH pictures I was like, "Ah, I love that shirt!" Totally not realizing it was the same shirt... regardless of your post title. Loooove it!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. I like that shirt, even if it was probably stinky!! Looks like you had a good weekend!
