DC Blogger Champagne Brunch Recap

Who's been to an unlimited champagne brunch? Chances are, if you're a female of legal drinking age in an even half-way civilized town, you've been more times that you can remember (thanks to the blackout that inevitably followed). So when Megan told me and Whitney that she'd be coming up from Charlottesville for the weekend, we did what any BBFs would do--we got fancy and "well-hydrated" at the all-you-can-drink champagne brunch at Chadwick's in Georgetown.

I ordered a paleo-friendly meal of a ham, onion, and cheese omelet, but then I realized I was getting jammer-timed off mimosas and threw all dietary caution to the wind and stuffed the potatoes into my mouth.

In addition to Whitney and Megan, we were joined by the likes of fellow DC blogger and sometimes member of our weekly Bachelor viewing party, Erica...

...and Jackie, who was visiting from New York, but she got to be part of the DC crew for a morning of debauchery.

Shortly after this picture, I stumbled my way to H&M, where I'm still questioning how security didn't throw out the inebriated red-head who kept picking up clothes, carrying them around the store, and then setting them where they didn't belong until her really sweet boyfriend came to take her home, where she immediately passed out.

He also took my jewelry off and laid it on the pretty tray I picked up this weekend in a very neat fashion; completely opposite the hot mess of a girlfriend he put to bed at 6 pm.

What's your favorite brunchtime adult beverage? Can I ever show my face in H&M again??

Bloggin' Bout Bloggers

{Me with Jenna from The Paleo Project, duh}

Typically, my Sunday nights involve yoga pants, glasses, and zero make-up, dreading another work week and watching "Once Upon a Time." P.S. Am I the only person watching this?? OMG, anyone who's watching it will you please let me know so we can talk about it so much??? 

So when Jenna told me about the Blogger Blitz event in DC (held Sunday night), I was hesitant to not only meet new people, but to also be taken away from my usual Sunday routine that could easily be mistaken for that of an anti-depressant-addicted, mild-aged divorcee with three too many cats.

Color me pleasantly surprised when we ended up not only having a great time meeting other DC-area bloggers, but looking amazing whilst doing it!

And that concludes the "detail shots of my top" portion of our evening.

But interestingly, the evening wasn't only about the clothes. It was about meeting other bloggers. And not just the one who flew in from Boston to stay with me (more on that later this week). It was here I met Whitney of Cheerios and Beer, a hilarious read and my new blog-turned-real-life-friend. We're getting dinner tomorrow, NBD.

{Jenna and Whitney--but then, you already knew that from the nametags, didn't you?}

And I also met Megan, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Zooey Deschanel. We may or may not have sung an inappropriate amount of "Who's that girrrrrrrrl's?"

And then there was Ashlyn who is cute as a button and just as sweet as can be.

And then there was Alison, who put the whole incredible event together.

There was a whole room of other bloggers I didn't get to spend as much/any time with, but I don't think I'm out of line when I say the whole thing was something of a success and we'll all likely reconvene another time.

And now for the obligatory CupcakesOMG! and Paleo Project shots:

 

What does YOUR Sunday routine consist of?? Do you watch "Once Upon a Time"? Do you even know what it is???
