Gracey and I share a trait -- we're both tall (at least, for women). Gracey humorously calls her blog "Fashion For Giants". In truth, she's only slightly taller than me; if I'd been in heels, we'd be the same height. (A little wish-fulfillment there.)
Gracey has natural poise and beauty. On top of a charming personality, that's a winning combination. We chatted easily about numerous topics, starting with our similar experiences of being large in size. Gracey directed me to good stores to shop.
I admire strong, independent women and Gracey sits comfortably in that category. She's as confident in person as she is on her blog. We should all be so fierce.
Gracey has been blogging about the same amount of time I have (3-4 years) and if you haven't seen her blog yet, you should.
Here are some pics from my day. The weather was perfect for being outdoors.
How cool for you to be able to meet up with so many bloggers! I adore Gracey. You are definitely on my tour next time I'm in NYC, Ally!
ReplyDeleteLovely post ! If other bloggers want to include you in their tourist checklist it's because you are a super nice person and I hope in my next trip to New York, hopefully soon, I will also have the pleasure to meet you :-) Hugs

If I ever come to NYC you would be high priority on my list as well
ReplyDeleteYou lucky gal! I so wish New York were closer Houston! We could meet then.
ReplyDeleteHave a stunning week dear Ally
So so much fun!! I love hearing about how many bloggers you've met. One of these days I'm going to make a big full circle Northern trip to meet my blogging buddies.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun and delicious day!
ReplyDeleteI always wonder if people are "as the present themselves" on their blogs in real life or turn out to be slightly different than what you've expected.
It would be so cool to have a proper blogger meet-up in New York. A bunch of gals having a blast, popping tags and sucking back some mid-day martinis...I'm in! : )

This is so awesome! I'm all excited, thinking about the two of you meeting and hanging out. I feel the same way about living in a famous city- because people often visit San Francisco, I can lazily take the train into the city and meet them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great get together. She seems really nice.

that's so sweet you got to meet another blogger and show them your city. NYC at xmas is on my bucket list!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you lived in the city! I lived in the city for a few years and I've been to the Delta! Blogger dates are always such a fun time :)

I actually live on Long Island which is only a short train-ride away. I pop into the City all the time, especially to meet friends.
DeleteSuper fun post! I enjoy Gracey's blog too and I'm glad you got to meet up! You bet if I come to New York ever meeting you is definitely on my list of things I must do!
ReplyDeleteI really like your recipe from the last post! Yummy! I've been to NYC once, this year actually. I spend a semester in Ohio and during my spring break my fiance came over from Germany and we went for a roadtrip together and visited NYC, Connecticut, Boston... I think it was the best vacation of our love :)
ReplyDeleteHave a good start in the week :)
Amazing! I had no idea Gracey was coming to your side of the country. I'd be lucky to meet up with you OR Gracey, you're both super-rad.
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting. Looks like you had a beautiful day, it's wonderful you have the opportunity to meet up with so many other bloggers. I have only ever met one other blogger here in Sydney and it was great fun... Sure hope I can meet you one day!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!
ReplyDeleteLove these pics!

Gracey is a doll--love her blog!!1 How lucky you are to be able to meet up and have fun together!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a super fun time! :-D
ReplyDeleteWhere have I been? I didn't know that you lived in NY. What a fun blogger meet-up and I loved your Bloggy Awards.
ReplyDeleteThat really must be marvelous - great friends in an equally grand city. I know that should I have have the wonderful pleasure of being in NYC, I'd love to try and meet-up, too. It feels like we know each other so well already, but there's always that extra depth that comes from a face-to-face encounter.

*PS* I absolutely loved, and sincerely appreciate (and totally agree with), your insight, wise, understanding comment on my post today. It stabs my heart to know that you've had to deal with some uncouth, to put it mildly, folks and their endlessly uncalled for rude comments, too, dear Ally. Thank goodness such folks are the minority in our circle, not the majority, and that we're (as fashion bloggers) able to appreciate and see one another for the amazing, inspiring, beautiful people that we all are.
A coast to coast meet-up - that's great! Looks and sounds like a fabulous day.
ReplyDeletemy boyfriend is fron NYC and i am crazy about going!!!!! yessss i will go one day,
ReplyDeletekisses from Canary island
Gracey!! How awesome are the two of you?? I am always jealous of your location, New York? A high-traffic area for fashion bloggers? You don't say! hehehe. I love these photos as well. I am in downtown Detroit a lot, and am always taken back a little by the buildings. I think the skyscrapers in New York would just be breath-taking. I am glad the two of you had fun!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting to meet in person!!! One day is one day that I will get there and we can have a good cuppa coffee!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou got to meet Gracey - I'm so happy for you, but honestly seriously jealous :)
ReplyDeleteYou have such great friends!
ReplyDeleteawww...how nice that you two were able to meet!!
