About once a month, HopeJamillahKim, Kristine, LuzAlex and I try to get together for what Alex has nicknamed the “Blogger Social Club.” Basically, it’s a chance for us to get together (usually in a happy hour setting) and hang out/catch up on each other’s lives. When I realized that my two-year blogiversary was quickly approaching, I called a meeting of the Blogger Social Club so we could have a little celebration! :)

Even though it was hot and sticky that day, Hope, Alex, and I arrived a little early so that we could take outfit pictures in Tompkins Square Park, right across the street from Yuca Bar.  As you can see above, we can get a little silly when we’re in front of the camera :) Also, although I don’t often wear my hair up, it was really too hot that day not to, so I decided to try out this quick and easy braided hairstyle.

Did you guys have a good weekend? Did anyone watch the Olympics Opening Ceremony on Friday? I found the whole thing pretty bizarre, but still interesting at points! I’m a huge Olympics nut, so once I figured out that I can live stream events on my computer (which is perfect, since I don’t own a TV), I’ve pretty much been watching the Olympics coverage nonstop. I also love that they have replays available too, so that I can catch up on events that happened in the middle of the night (EST).  I did tear myself away from the Olympics for a few hours on Saturday to meet up with Alex and Kim in the East Village.  It was Kim’s blogiversay on Friday, so we celebrated with brunch and a little bit of thrifting :)

Tomorrow’s the end of month which means it’s time for the Correspondence Club round-up! Check back tomorrow to see what was sent/received and if you’d like to join the Correspondence Club for August, you still have until tomorrow to send me your information!

      Thanks so much Jackie! NYC is an amazing city- I hope you get the chance to visit one day! :)

    Haha, I’m so silly. You have to wear this skirt at least one more time before summer is over! Why did you let it moulder away so long?

    • http://starcrossedsmile.com/ Nnenna

      Yes you are :) Haha, you know how I am! Actually, with this skirt I completely forgot about it until I rediscovered it a couple of weeks ago!

    Love your up do! The braids are wonderful! Also, in love with your pretty printed skirt. Sounds like a good time! I wish I had more bloggers in my area to have meetups with! I actually missed the opening ceremony but I have been watching the Olympics quite a bit!

      Thank you so much! I’m so lucky to have a solid group of blogger friends here in NYC to hang out with :)
