Met Sally & Audi - YouLookFab Forum

Most of you will know Sally from the blog Already Pretty, who I finally met in Seattle today. She was here to give a talk at a course. Sally is a full time creative writer now and does not blog anymore. She is wonderful, awfully gracious, and we got on like a house on fire. We yakked for three hours and time flew by. It was fascinating and passionate conversation. Lots of laughter. There is a lot of common ground in our thinking about fashion and style, and it was comforting.

You also might remember blogger Audi who does not blog anymore either. She is a scientist. She joined us and is as fabulous. We had a wonderful time and had lots to catch up on. Both ladies are great listeners, astute, intelligent and very smiley. Loved it. It was GREAT. Quite special.

Sorry to run. Got lots going on. Xo

Oh wow!!!!

Diana

Oh, wow, what a blast from the past! Back in the day I used to follow and love both of them (and you too of course, Angie). How fun that you got to meet. =) Makes me nostalgic for the old days of fashion blogs - I don't really follow any blogs any more except for YLF; the current ones don't really feel the same to me.

Janet

Wow! I remember both of their blogs. Sounds like you had a blast — how fun! Style blogging has changed, hasn’t it?

Angie

Fashion Stylist

Thanks for the cheerleading, Anna, Janet & Diana. Thanks for the ongoing YLF support too. We talked about how blogging has changed, actually. YLF still very much the same though....

That’s so cool! I used to read both of their blogs. They look just as fab as I remember!

Christina F.

I remember Audi's blog! I miss it. *waves*

Looking great, ladies!

The Cat

Oh, yes, I remember both of them very well. Used to follow their blogs. Miss them. Nice to see the three of you together.

Style Fan

How fabulous! I loved Sally's blog. I still read it. I am not familiar with Audi's blog.

LaPed

What fun!! I used to read both of their blogs -- makes me nostalgic to see you all together.

Bonnie

I didn't know Audi but I loved Sally's blog. I'm glad that you got a chance to meet and talk with them. It's nice getting together with people who understand what one is going through, isn't it. You look fab!!

Quick pop in to say that I'm enjoying the praise for these blast from the past blogs. Very deserving.

bonnie, what a sweet thing to say. Thank you.

For the locals, we met in my hood at Cafe Flora. Audi and Sally staying in a B&B in Capitol Hill, so really close. Very fun to all be in MY hood.

Angie, that soft green looks beautiful on you, and I love how the white fur echoes your booties as well as the highlights of your hair. And you are sporting a midi skirt! Fab outfit! The skirt material looks so luscious and interesting--is it suede or velvet or something else?

The Cat, thank you for always being gracious - it does not go unnoticed. YES. I wear lots of dresses these days - I'm fortunate to have found ones that work, and can sport them with the right footwear and topper that works for our climate. (A mild but damp Winter 9 degrees C today). I'm wearing a woolly sweater dress - see the exact pieces in Finds up top.

How exciting! I miss Audi's blog, it was one of the handful I read. And YLF is one of only two that I read regularly. Somehow you have mastered whatever it takes to create longevity in this area I think it's the consistency, the authenticity and the beautiful community. xx

Helena

How fun! YLF is only one of two style blogs I read anymore also ... It's one of the few that doesn't feel like a giant ad! Thanks Angie for staying true to yourself and the community all these years

Thank you for taking time to answer so quickly. Fab sweater dress--reminds me of a green sweater dress I wore in the 70s! Hope to find a (long enough) sweater dress again, but this time in a colour which suits my present colouring better--perhaps, violet, raspberry or cobalt.

Talking about colours: One of the things that Sally, Audi and you have in common is that you have shown us a great variety of colour combos. It has been a real joy to look at your colourful outfits up through the years. THANKS to all three of you for lots of inspiration!

Dee

Oh how lovely! They were some of the earliest (and favorite) fashion blogs I followed, and I'm pretty sure I found YLF through Already Pretty.

Shirley

Active Member

Oh, I followed these two ladies for a while too. Found them though YLF of course. Thanks for sharing your meeting.

Zaeobi

I remember & used to follow both of their blogs. Sal made me feel more comfortable with colour (even though she wears more black nowadays) & Audi made me feel more confident about layering. Anyway, glad to see they're both doing well now!

MsMary

Oh my gosh! A couple of stars from the golden age of fashion blogging! What a fun meetup and you look fab as always!

Sal

How fun and it sounds like it was really enlightening too. Lovely happy photos.

Thank you all for the awfully kind words.

Suz

Oh my gosh!! I used to read them both. What a gorgeous set of photos of all of you, looking so fresh and happy and having such a great time. I'm so glad you got to do this!! Sally has brought many people to YLF and probably vice versa. So glad her life is going in the direction she wants!

You look gorgeous in that sweater dress, Angie! I love it. Fun with the parka, too!

Debbie

The three of you look quite stylish.

Your outfit is stunning Angie!

Runcarla

Followed Sally, but didn't know Audi. Meet ups are the best. It really is a small world....

Aquamarine

Wow! I still read Sally’s blog, and I remember Audi. How exciting to see the three of you together!

Momo

How lovely ! Sally’s blog was one of the first I read when I decided it was time to rediscover myself. Missed Audi’s though

Windchime

How fun to see these pictures! What a wonderful visit the three of you must have had, and how fab you all look! Your jacket is gorgeous on you; glad we could see it.

Brooklyn

What a stylish and happy looking bunch!
