You're a much better writer than I am:)</p> <p>We had SO much fun! April described Debora as "willowy," and she is that along with being immaculately put-together, warm and the rare kind of person who feels like a good friend from the very first hello. There she was, waiting for me at the restaurant with a big smile and a hug, and we were off and running for the rest of the day. We were having such fun that I called DH at one point and told him I probably wouldn't see him until dinner (and I didn't!).</p> <p>We talked families and life in general and thought of so many of you as we gallivanted through stores. We'd say "hey, that color would be marvelous on Angie" or "I can see Jean wearing that and looking fab." We talked and tried on clothes and on at least one occasion, loved the same top so that when it didn't fit one of us, we swapped it across the dressing room on case it might fit the other.</p> <p>It was simply a lovely day from start to finish. Hopefully, it'll be the first of many:)</p> <p>And yep, I think that was the jacket we thought of for April. Trust me, we can shop for ALL of you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/debora-and-beths-ylf-mini-meetup#post-289365 Sun, 30 Jan 2011 22:13:33 +0000 taylor 289365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Fabulous meet up ladies!!

You both look smashing. That coat on Beth.... So jealous, and so thankful for such a detailed recap! </p> <p>It's funny - I also now shop for YLF members in my mind. When I'm thrifting, I'll see something and think, "Oh, that would be perfect for _________ (your name nere)." It is a lot more fun to browse that way... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/debora-and-beths-ylf-mini-meetup#post-289220 Sun, 30 Jan 2011 18:52:32 +0000 Debora 289220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth and I met up yesterday for a day of shopping and it was a BLAST! You may recall, several months ago Beth and I discovered that we lived across town from each other when she offered up her Hinge jacket for sale and I replied. We planned on getting together, but then the holidays intervened. Yesterday we finally made it happen, and words can't describe how much fun we had.</p> <p>We started out our afternoon at a local cafe getting to know each other over steaming bowls of crab and corn chowder. We had private messaged each other the night before with descriptions of our outfits, but in reality - none was needed! I think it was instant recognition, and we fell right into conversion as if we had known each other forever.</p> <p>Beth is as charming and beautiful in real life as she is online. She has a wicked sense of humor and is so much fun to be around. She kept me in stitches with stories about restoring her farm house and her pets. I especially loved hearing about how her three goats wait on top of the picnic table every evening, scanning the horizon like little sailors, waiting for her to come home. </p> <p> Beth looked amazing in her Gap leans and black lace-up Frye boots. She "surrendered" her waistline and was wearing a delicious cream tunic top from NAS that Angie had recommended. She topped it all off with silver jewelry and a gorgeous, purple Miss Sixty pea coat. She looked stunning! I wore a deep purple, ruffled top under a charcoal boyfriend cardigan with black straight leg jeans. </p> <p>Now for the loot! After our delightful lunch, we started out at Nordstroms where I modeled a pair of black boots that I had brought along to get Beth's opinion. She gave the boots the YLF seal of approval, and then it was decided that I needed a pair of Gap leans to go with them. Off to the Gap where we quickly decided on a pair of leans with a dark wash. We then made our way through Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, JCrew, and back to Nordstroms, shopping for YLF members along the way. We found adorable little jelly ballet flats in JCrew for Maya, a lovely top for Jean, a jacket for April in Ann Taylor, and a tomato red bag for Angie in Nordstroms. So much fun! We felt like personal shoppers, for each other, and for all of you lovely ladies! Beth got lucky and found two Halogen boyfriend cardigans in charcoal and lagoon blue on sale at Nordstroms.</p> <p>We finished off our afternoon at the Nordstrom's Cafe recapping our shopping adventures over Earl Grey tea and a chocolate chip cookie. It was a fabulous day and I'm so thankful that I got to meet our wonderful Beth in person. We are already planning on future meetups, and I am so happy to have found a wonderful shopping friend! </p>
