Making friends

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

After a super fun and crazy couple of weeks in the USA with loverboy, I'm back in London, and feeling sleepy...

I have so much blogging to catch-up on (not to mention photo-editing) that I don't even know where to begin.  We had a wonderful eight days in sunny Los Angeles, followed by an awesome eight days of non-stop partying in Las Vegas!  Now I'm back in chilly London with a serious case of the post-holiday blues.

I've seen that the Viva posts have already started popping up in the blogosphere, so I will probably get going with my version of events soon, too.  But for now, I wanted to share some pictures from one really enjoyable part of my trip - meeting lots of lovely bloggers in real life!

It's funny, because when you read someone's blog regularly, you almost feel as if you know them, so when you do eventually meet them in real life, it's like a cross between meeting a celebrity and an old friend!

I was really excited to meet Technicolor Cutie and Dollie aka The Rockabilly Socialite on the LA leg of my trip, at the Big Sandy show in Pomona....

I stole this pic from Technicolour Cutie, so you've probably already seen it on her blog!

....and then again in Vegas!

They are both real sweethearts with amazing style, and I'm so glad that I finally got to meet them!

I was also excited to meet the lady behind Haute Rockabilly Fashionista, especially as we had planned to co-ordinate our Saturday night outfits by both wearing green lurex!

I ran into HRF a few times over the course of the weekend, but often quite fleetingly, so next time I want to hang out more, as she is so lovely and has the most infectious smile!

I finally got to meet Temperamental Broad - and about time too, given how many mutual friends we have!

We only ran into each other a couple of times, but I can tell you, I had total hair-envy of this girl!  I hope we get to chat more next time!

I also met the lovely LaToya of Mid-Century Pink, but as she has already noted on her blog, we didn't take any pictures together....blogger fail *slaps wrist*.  I can assure you that she is just as much a sweetie in person as she is online!  She is relatively new to blogging, so if you haven't yet, then go check out her blog.

As if that wasn't enough fabulous bloggers, I also met Laurence, writer of Lost in the 50s whilst in LA, and then ran into her many times in Vegas where she introduced me to Sylvie who writes 365 Vintage days on the Fintage blog.  These two European ladies have the most enviable vintage wardrobes!  My goodness, so many amazing outfits!

Thank you ladies, for all being so friendly - it was really great to finally meet you all and become friends in person!!!

That's all for now, I'm off to snoooooooooooooze as jet-lag has gotten the better of me.....zzzzzz.....
