Hello! This past week Elsie and I met up for the first time since she officially moved to Nashville. And if that wasn't special enough, get this—we met up on our way to Amsterdam! We were invited to speak at the Meet the Blogger conference this year, and we had an absolute blast! One of our very favorite things is meeting readers offline and getting to talk and connect. We very rarely get to meet any international readers, so this was a major treat for us. Everyone was so sweet and had really challenging questions from their own blogging experiences, so it was awesome getting to meet everyone. And you know what, I think I actually really like speaking. I never really thought of it as something I would "do for my job" ever, but now that I've done it a few times, I must say I really like it.
Aside from the conference, we got to hang around Amsterdam for a couple days before making a stopover in Iceland. We took lots of photos and we're working on a video from the trip, so I'm sure you'll see more soon.
Emma's wearing: Dress and Scarf/F21, Tights, Gloves, and Hat/Target, Jacket/Levi's, Buttons/gift from Elsie (see her sources for cool buttons here), Boots c/o Boden, and Purse/Zara.
Elsie's wearing: Vest/Target, Dress/SheIn, Clogs/Swedish Hasbeens, Sunnies/Crap Eyewear, Bag and Necklace/Madewell, Pins/Hello Holiday (more pins here!)
Hope you all are having a great start to this week! I'm working through emails and catching up on work while a mound of dirty laundry is calling my name. Ha! 🙂 Happy Monday! xo. Emma (and Elsie)

That button with the quote from Clueless is EVERYTHING!
Oh my gosh, I love both of your outfits. Y’all both look so cozy in those beanies. And those pins…I love the idea of jazzing up a plain vest that way!

Why are so many bloggers relocating to Nashville!?! Quite a few blogs I read (usa based) have moved to this part of the US!! On another note, glad you both had an enjoyable catch up.

It was so fun meeting you at the Meet The Blogger-event. You were both so inspiring and sweet! Hope you’ll come back soon 😉
Love all the colors here! Question: Why is Elsie dressed for summer and Emma for winter? haha!!
Elsie, how do you break in your Swedish hasbeens? The leather is so rough on my skin!
Emma, your tights are THE CUTEST!

Great Looks!
Always nice to hear you love Amsterdam! But wasn’t it too cold in Amsterdam for those bare arms and legs? It’s been quite cold here in Holland for the past week, freezing at night.
What cute pics! I love Amsterdam, have the best trip!

Because I’m a terrible packer and Emma is a great packer.

I’ve had some pairs that are more comfortable than others. This is my favorite style (I don’t really like the peep toe styles). Try wearing tights for a little while?

I love those red shoes!

Apparently it’s a blogger magnet I guess. 🙂 For Elsie, she is supporting her husband’s career with the move as he’s a musician and she can do her job from anywhere that has space to create and internet.
I miss her here in Springfield, MO though. But I got to hang with her lots during this trip so that was fun. 🙂

You are too kind! We loved every minute of it, it’s such a joy to meet readers in real life too!
-Emma
Thanks! They reminded me of Katie (skunkboyblog.com) as she always has the best tights. 🙂
-Emma
I told her it was cold. 🙂
Luckily it wasn’t too bad while we were in town, Iceland was a bit more chilly though so we had to bundle up much more then.

That Clueless button is amazing!
I really love those red pair of shoes! It’s crazy how it’s cooling up there while it’s still so warm and humid from the other side of the globe!

I was there in the conference, and you two were great!!!
Dear Emma,
it was great to hear you speak at #mtbams. And I would really support you in the idea to speak more – you are a great speaker! Both of you did it so well that I completely forgot to take notes and just listened, because everything you said was so inspiring.
Keep up the great work!
Love
Tine (who sews)
