After meeting the fabulous Wendy Brandes earlier this week, I channeled my chutzpah and decided to ask Lynn from All Things NYC to (bubble) tea. I've admired Lynn for some time now; her style is eclectic, professional, chic, and enviable. She graciously agreed to meet me at Saint's Alp Teahouse for some addictive bubble tea and toast with condensed milk. (For those of you who don't know, bubble tea consists of Chinese milk tea, either cold or hot, with tapioca "bubbles" that one slurps through a large straw. I usually don't get the bubbles, though.) Lynn's charming and sweet personality--not to mention her gorgeous smile--immediately won me over.
We took a shot together, but my photoshop skills are pretty nonexistent so I couldn't edit my face out of it. Here's what I wore:~
Blouse: Antonio Beraldi
Cuff: Hermes
Jeans: Rock & Republic
Boots: Ann Taylor

For some reason, whenever I meet up with another blogger, it's a veritable deluge outside. This time I chose practicality over fashion and wore my "I-don't-care-if-they-get-ruined" boots. By the time we parted ways, the skies cleared up and the sun finally emerged.

If you haven't already, do check out Lynn's amazing blog, All Things NYC. It's highly addictive!

Hi there! Wow, another great blogger meet-up! Both of you look stylish in jeans!
Enjoy your Sunday.
Wow, I betcha it was fun! It's always so wonderful to meet new friends that share the same interest! =)
You both looked lovely, btw!
(PS - thanks for the comment on my new post, I'm so sure you're as lovely in person as you are in your blog!!)
hi thumbelina! you posted so fast! :) i just arrived home from mass and dinner.
it was so great to meet you and discover a lot of things in common. yes, let's meet up again. in better weather next time... as you have noticed rain/humidity and i don't go so well. haha.
Ooh! How lovely to have so many gorgeous/fun/fashionable bloggers in your city, and to meet up with them! :) Lynn's smile is SO gorgeous & I'm sure, infectious!
LOVE your Antonio Berardi blouse, so beautiful!
In response to your Q in your last comment: The movie is called 'The Time Guardian', was filmed in the 80's and is truly horrendous (haha)! I'm sure grandpa was embarassed by it too, as I remember mentioning the movie to him in 1989, when I had come to Oz for a visit and watched the movie, and he didn't say anything...Acting was more of a side hobby really (he hasn't done it for quite a long time)...he was also in a BBC series, which was funny 'cause my family & I were living in the UK and watched the series, not knowing he would show up in Part II, that was quite a shock, haha! :)

Good morning to you, sweetie!
Oooooh well, Monday morning and time to get up... This is the most uggliest day and time of the week... It has happened maybe four times in my life that I was looking for Monday morning... When I was waiting for a delivery or so ;)
WOW - your Antonio Berardi blouse looks SOOOOO gorgeous! Looking for somthing like this great item, too!
Such a lovely surprise to see that you girls made it for the meeting on the weekend! You gorgeous NYC bloggers! :-D
I'm wishing you a good start in the new week and a fabulous day, soon there will be weekend again, dear!! :-x
Much love, Sofie
Hey, Thumblina!
Isn't this an amazing world: my husband called this morning from London to say he read my blog (while I was having a 'sleep-over' with my 7 1/2 year old niece - today's her half birthday - out at my family's summer place) & he read your comment about meeting in the city.
I'd love to! I was going to ask you but I was thinking you might think I"m weird. I agree with 'proudly': it really is fabulous how these virtual friendships develop. Just on these comments alone, I already feel I know proudly a bit, and -h... without knowing people's names or in your case, face! And Lynn has been so sweet, too.
Sorry so long - can't send an email from my laptop, but can receive, and of course, can still comment! I don't know when I'll actually come into the city - it's a way's from here, about 1 1/2 hrs - but I/we definitely will. If you'd like, email @ my mom's address: smartyrt@juno.com and we can get an idea of our times. My husband joins us this Thursday and we're in the NY general area til the 21st.
Thank you for asking: I'm the same way, life's too short! I've got so many new friends simply from going up to them and asking to shoot them for my blog!
It's official: my comment is like 10x the length of your blog. : ) Hope it's drying up in the city, it's looking like a gorgeous day out here. Hope yours is wonderful.
xoxo
I want bubble tea!
oh wow! hi jill!
maybe the 3 of us should meet up?? ;) anyone else care to join us? :)

Happy sunny tuesday to you, Thumbelina!
Can´t believe I missed your post!
Had to smile about myself as I saw the first photo and it was like "Yes, I know this girl, it´s Thumbelina" but my second thought was... "no.. Thumbelina doesn´t show her face...but this is Lynn with her charming smile";)
You 2 lucky girls!!! I wish I could take a flight to NY to meet you, too!!! Would be MY pleasure!!!!!
Shame on me I don´t know much about bubble tea but it sounds delicous and like having lots of fun!
You look gorgeous when you dress casual and tres chic and you look gorgeous when you dress romantic and you look gorgeous when you dress cool and hip! ... And it´s always Thumbelina ;)
Wishing you a wonderful week ahead with lots of sun and bubbles!
Liebe Grüße!!!
Just bumped into your blog its very nice. I went to a blogger meet up a few months back it was fun. I would like to plan something with a few bloggers in NY we should K.I.T, Studs are everywhere I love them!
That blouse looks amazing on you paired with the low key jeans and boots! So awesome that you've been meeting up with fellow fashion bloggers too. I look forward to hearing more meet up accounts!! :)
