A brunch blate (blog-date) you ask? Why yes! On Sunday morning I met up with three lovely ladies in the West Village for brunch as a going away for Seterra who is moving back to Virginia after four years in New York City. We bonded over everything, from our love of the five for $25 deals at Victoria’s Secret to how annoying it is when the subways are under construction and how they run less frequently on the weekends! The Mexican restaurant Diablo was a great setting for brunch even though it was a bummer than they were out of mimosas – we opted for the red sangria instead!
From left to right: Michael from Crazy Tragic Almost Magic, Hannah Margaret from HM,
me, and Setarra from Quaintrelle.
The food was delicious and the company was even better. It was so interesting to hear how, when, and why these ladies started their blogs and everyone’s unique experience working in NYC. I rocked a statement necklace to our blate and will continue to wear them as a way to accessorize in this crazy heat! The one I am wearing in the photos above is from few season ago but these are eight of my favorite necklaces right now:
Have you ever been on a blate? How did you accessorize?

I love that floral beaded necklace, the peacock and the very first one. Statement necklaces are my favorite. I was going to wear my purple one but it didn’t look right with that shirt.
