Every blogger I know loves Macaroons. Throw a party, invite some bloggers and ensure you’ve got Macaroons freely on display, and you’ll have a room filled with very happy-snappy bloggers.
Last night, a bunch of us Durban gal bloggers (and a guy), were invited to mix and mingle at Con Amore, a gorgeous store in La Lucia Mall.
Sipping champers and munching on glorious cupcakes, sushi and macaroons (in that order), we finally got to meet each other and put a face to the blogger. It’s strange how we almost “knew” each other, yet we were complete strangers (outside Twitterville and the blogsphere that is). Well, not anymore and it’s all thanks to Candice from Con Amore.
It’s kind of strange! Some people, you just recognize from their blogs like Lauren from Glossary Zine for instance. She’s totally adorable and the past couple of days I’ve been watching her blog obsessing over her photos. My hubz bought me a Cannon 500D a while ago and I swear it’s still brand new! I always complain that my pics suck, but I never practice. Well last night I decided to haul the big camera along and so glad I did. Lauren showed me how to put it on the perfect night setting and I’m kind of impressed with the results. I’m no photographer, heck not even close, but at least I’m happier with my pics. Oh, I also learnt how Lauren edits her pics, so yes, you could say I’ve kind of stolen her style hehe!
Other fab bloggers included Nicola from Ask Ashe, Kathy from Cherish Online, Candice from Durban Diva, Pippa from The Thrift Co, Che from Portfolio and Nadia from Cupcake Couture. There were more, but my attention was focused on the macaroons as well as the lovely treats inside Con Amore.
I have my heart set on this Union Jack pillow and the silver crown. I think it would make a gorgeous table display. Not the pillow of course, duh!
And these vases! I imagine them filled with jelly beans, although I’m sure the jelly beans won’t last long!
Dazzle and bedazzle. Amazing chandeliers. I still need to get one for my closet room
Tea anyone? How cute are these cups?
Quirky handbags and little trinkets are all over the store, and a small clothing selection for the fashionista’s.
If you were there, post your comment (re) introduce yourself and if I missed you, please post a link to your blog!
